Group 6 Konglish

Kenneth Woo was afraid to write. As early as second grade, he was told he had the gift. He fought this gift throughout his life, focusing on math and science, something he believed he should be mastering. In visiting his native land, Kenneth knew he must learn the Korean language; this was not something he was looking forward to. Learning Korean reminded him of learning English when he was young. How ironic that he began to learn the Korean language when he started studying the McDonalds menu board – something that reminded him of America. Kenneth had to go to Korea to find out what he had been running from all along, he had the gift of writing. When he picked up a pen, he wrote from his soul (heart) – the words would just flow out. The homeless lady was the clincher – she looked in his eyes and saw his soul. Ones soul is where the words form, and the soul shows through the eyes of a writer who sees the world as it is in their eyes. A gift is from God, and it should not be ignored. Not all are so lucky to receive theses gifts.
