About Me

I am Seoyeon Kim, also known as Summer.

My name, Summer, is the first English name I got since I was born. I think my name is quite unique and it represents me the best, so I included this name in my blog title, too. The name Summer Passion simply means passion of mine. I also think Summer is the most passionate season of the year, since the sun is the hottest, the plants are the greenest, and people come out and enjoy the weather in Summer. I hope to live a passionate life like Summer, and live doing what I enjoy.

Although I am an international student, I had, and also have quite a difficult time on English since I have never lived abroad. I was completely a Korean student, and I never have thought of going abroad at all, never before I came to KMLA. Even though it is uncomfortable for me to speak and write in English, I look forward to the oversea life and also want to grow my English skills before in KMLA.

I have two siblings, one 2 years younger than me, and the other 11 years younger. I am the eldest child in my family, and this fact gives me excess responsibility, especially since my younger brother is too young, and my sister is planning to major in violin. All my parents' expectations are concentrated on me, so it is kind of a stress on me. However, I believe I was also able to grow my responsibility and a sense of independence thanks to my siblings, and helped me take care of myself in the dormitory.

One more to say, I like playing the flute. I even once thought to later major on playing the flute, but since my sister was much more talented in music, I decided to study more, and just enjoy flute as a hobby. As I think back now, it was a better choice for me, since I got to learn chemistry, which I enjoy more than playing the flute. However, I still enjoy playing it now as a hobby, and I also joined KMLA Orchestra, the classical orchestra club of KMLA, too.


I hope this blog will help me find the fun in writing, and become a place where I can express all my thoughts in. Please look forward to Summer Passion!

    A picture of a picture... very nice. And the name "summer' is definitely better than winter. Even when summer is too hot and people complain, I will never claim to miss winter and always enjoy the freedom of summer, so please end this cold weather with your radiant flute music! Do I sound like Mr. Moon? As for your English, the best way to improve is to read avidly and write freely, without any hesitation. A blog is perfect for that, so don't wait for me to tell you what to do here if you enjoy sharing your thoughts.

Meeting the Real Me (ear plugs)

At first, it came as a free gift from an online shopping mall. Thinking that the pair of earplug would surely come in handy, I kept them in my backpack for sometime in the future. Then, there came a day when this pair of squishy little rubber came to my attention. My sensitive nature sometimes gives me a hard time when my roommate’s working on her homework late at night. At times, I wished I had a roommate who shares the same life pattern as mine, but it was just a dream far away. When, again, she was working on her science device late at night, and I was in the most desperate need of sleep. I remembered the existence of these earplugs. I rummaged through my backpack and took them out, and stuck them in my ears. The sensitivity to noise magically disappeared, and I happily fell asleep. Shutting ears to the negative comments and opinions. Our physiological nature forbids such an amazing feature. Often, I envy those who claim to have selective hearing. When asked what superpower...

Relay Writing - Facebook Update

  Seoyeon SUMMER Kim Finally. Finally, I have graduated high school. Finally, I don't have to get up at 6 and go to morning exercises. Finally, I don't have to wear that long, uncomfortable Hanbok. Finally, I can order chicken whenever I want and drink cold sodas. I don't have to be edgy on every Monday because of the cleaning checkup. I don't have to walk around the huge school with my sore ankles. I can use my room alone and have peace and quietness. I can also avoid people that make me feel awkward and mad. I'm so happy that now I can end all these meaningless relationships. Finally, I can enjoy my life better. Reading back I made KMLA life seem all terrible, but there were some great parts about it, too. I'll miss all the teachers (actually not "all" maybe..), the unique education of KMLA, my room in the dormitory, the ramen I ate with my roommates and classmates, and most of all, friends, especially my classmates I've met during the 3 y...

Memoir 1st draft

I remember... - 180206 inclass work Write anything you want, but follow this one simple rule: Every sentence MUST begin with "I remember..." Consider style, sentence structure (length, use of commas and semicolons), flow and content I remember the day my baby brother came back home from the hospital after he was born. I remember him crying and peeing on my clothes, but I still love him. I remember hitting my younger sister's head with a toy when we were both young. I remember that my sister had a hard time breathing and that I was scolded and locked in the bathroom for a while. I remember the incident so well and will never forget it even though it happened when I was only 3 years old because it was quite a shock to me. I remember having two hamsters. I remember that one hamster bit the other to death; I'm not able to raise a hamster after that. * I remember going to a Summer camp deep in the forest of Canada. I remember being bitten by a mosquito as big ...
