Whats happening in Hyeeun School?

Hyeeun School has recently started school from its long winter vacation. It seems like Hyeeun School had a very busy winter vacation. The students had exhibitions of their work they made during the year, concerts, made Christmas trees, and had many other various activities. It’s a pity that I missed out all these activities. That is why I am looking forward to going there again. One exceptional event that I want to mention that happened during winter break in Hyeeun school is that a certain corporates’s volunteer community workers donated wheelchairs, chairs, and scholarship for students in Hyeeun School. This is a very meaningful event; the very fundamental help is to provide what the people need. It is even more meaningful because this corporate is globally acknowledged. They are sharing what they have and can afford with others; others who might need the things more than they might. Natural selection is a principal that states only the strongest survives, and it even applies to our society. Everyone thinks winning is all about crushing the opponents, and this may be true. However, it is because of the people who choose to share instead of to win that the world is livable.

Sterotype

It was the first days Hyeeun school that I met J.W Kim. He was a student of Hyeeun school, and, generally speaking, he wasn’t exactly as I assumed he would be. We all have stereotypes: One particular stereotype applies for the disabled people that you expect a disabled person to be not normal. However, stereotypes are to be broken as we are to learn from our mistakes. That is what Hyeeun school is to me, and it is almost safe to say this process started when I met J.W Kim. To briefly introduce him, J.W is a teenager at my age interested in music and games just like me and millions of other teenagers. He is active in every activities, have good relationships with everyone, and he can talk perfectly fine. He and I have many things to talk about. To be honest, I was surprised to find that he could talk so well. Now, I realize that it was shameful to think that. When I first walked through the door, JW didn’t want a person who would sympathize him, but a person he could talk to. Stereotypes exist in all of us, but stereotypes exist to be broken.
