A peek into a journalist's life

Being Christine's rommate/ friend for the past few years, I have experienced a glimpse of a journalist's life.

I only know what being a teacher is like and that's it, but through her I experience something new.

Today, we (me and Christine) were walking to the bus stop from Gregory Hall.

on our way we see three guys smoking a cigar sitting in front of Foellinger.

I just look and continue going my way.. but not Christine.

She stops. She stares at them for like three seconds and then starts taking pictures of them.

I'm standing next to her thinking... "uhmmm what are you doing taking pictures of random people?"

I think the three guys noticed it too. But all four of us (the three guys and me) were confused because she looked like she was taking pictures of the stair. Literally she was bent, kneeling down as close to the ground as she can and taking pictures..

i'm standing behind her and now thinking, "What is she taking? picture of the guys? or the stairs?"

She continues to do her own thing.. and afterwards approaches the three guys..

She approaches them so casually, naturally, and bravely. I'm still standing and thinking, "wow, she's gonna talk to them.."

She starts to explain to them that she was taking pictures of them for a photo journalism class she's taking.

The three guys were nice and also very interested in the pictures she took. She showed it to them and they all wanted her to email it to them.  that's the skill my roommate has..

anyways..

as I saw her taking pictures with no shame, approaching the strangers with a warm heart, and having the ability to converse with them so casually...

I praised God. It was a glimpse of how God gives talents and gifts to each of us. It was a moment where I felt so proud of my friend who did not let her God-given gifts to waste. How much happier and pleased God must have felt seeing His daughter. Yea we have doubts and fail sometimes, but through it all God is still using us.

As I am writing this, I hope to see that ten, twenty, thirty years later my friend Christine Won would be using her gifts to glorify God NO MATTER WHAT.

Prasie God for He is great.

Teaching

So, today me, mary and jenny had to go teach a science lesson at Dr. Howard for 3rd graders..

I was so nervous last night..

I didn't know how the lesson was going to be like

I didn't know if they were going to understand what i was teaching them

(because last night Nick Joe stopped by and I tried to explain to him and he was like..

"You're in big trouble because I'm 20 and I have no idea what you're saying.... "

what a DISCOURAGEMENT he left me with..

but my sweet, loving rommate prayed for/with me  and it was very ENCOURAGING

I trusted in the Lord and today it went really really well.

I think it was also because Jenny and Mary was there with me.

but the students were REALLY REALLY cute.

They were attentive and so many of them wanted to answer questions..

I am really going to love teaching. ( i know.. there will be hardships also for now i am going to love it.. hehe )

one weird thing was that they had to call me MS. NAM.

WEIRD.... I never thought about that.

Soon my co-workers, students, parents are going to start calling me MS. Nam instead of "Esther"

WOW. anyways.

I'm so thankful, joyful, blessed....
