What event or memory do you still want an apology for, how can you get this apology, how will your life change if you receive this apology?

When I hear this prompt, I am reminded more of the apologies that I still have yet to made rather than the apologies that I still have yet to receive. I am trying really hard to recall a moment when I felt like I have been wronged and needed an apology for my sanity sake. More I think about it I feel like I do not really have a event or memory that I still want apology for.

What former version of yourself would you like to go visit? Why? ***

I would like to go visit my high school self, because I remember that the high school years were when I was most confident. I would like to know if this confidence came from my ignorance to my flaws or if this confidence came from less scared character. I would not like to say that I am a person with lots of scar, but I am definitely learning that as you are growing up, you experience pain and struggle that shapes and molds you to be a “mature” person. While you are maturing, the pain and struggle also leaves scar in your heart which implant a seed of insecurity in your heart.

Who do you wish you know more about in your family? How can you know more about this person? How can investigating this person change you or this person?

I would like to investigate more about my father. I am very close with my father, but I would like to know more about his childhood and his relationship with his father. I believe that you learn a lot from your parents. I wonder what kind of influence did my grandfather have to raise my father to be who he is. I also would like to know the struggle that he has gone through. I can get to know more about my father by talking to him, my mom, my grandparents, or even reading his diary (if he has one). By investigating him, I will get more clear understanding of my father’s background. Also through me interviewing him, I think my father will get to look back into his past as well.

What local events do you remember hearing about. Why do you remember this event? What more do you want to know about this event? Who might you talk to about this event?

In the spring of 2014, a ferry in Korea named 세월호 (Se-wul-ho) sinked while carrying couple of hundreds high-schooler for their school trip. There were only few survivor and I remember that during this time, the whole Korea went through a season of national grief. I particularly remember this event because later on it was revealed that there were a lot of corruption involved, and some rumors even started to rise that it was orchestrated by the president of Korea.

What artist or piece of art moved you? What do you know about the artist or the process of creating this art? What more would you like to know.

Personally I am not a painting or sculpture type of a person. But I am a music type of a person, and I definitely believe that music is a legitimate form of art. Sometimes even stronger than other forms of art. The music that my brother produced has moved me time to time. Setting aside the fact that it sounds nice, I think I was moved by it because I knew of the time and effort that he has poured out on it. I would like to know more about my brother’s thought process when he creates music.
