“What values can be learned from the life of the person I most respect?”
“My Hero” Korean Presentation
Toby describes his father as a hero. The time spent with his father, who showed and taught him various interesting and meaningful things, was simply an “adventure.” Through his Korean presentation, we can understand that this world is unfolded through endless questions, exploration, and challenges.
For my mural I chose the word 모험 (mo-heom). 모험 means adventure. Adventure is really important to me and my family. It brings me joy and new experiences. I wanted to design my mural as a popping image. There is a bible verse at the bottom of the mural that is featured by the word 모험. On my mural the word 모험 is drawn out in 3D to make it look like they it is coming out of the picture. I chose vibrant colors and drew a dotted outline of a picture. You can decipher the picture how you would like to, kind of like part of an adventure.
소망 중에 즐거워하며 환난 중에 참으며 기도에 항상 힘쓰세요. 이는 하나님과의 기쁜 모험입니다. 로마서 12:12
Romans 12:12 Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. It is the joyful advanture with God Father!

“How can we positively embody the ‘Ohana spirit’ in our lives?”
| 2023 Hangeul and Ohana Project |
Ohana Project Reflective Writing
I think the most essential part of this project is creativity and communication. For this project, I had to be creative to make a postcard and a Hotteok poster. I was able to make fun artwork that conveyed my messages’ meaning. I also had to use communication to write an understandable message in my Korean postcard. I used my Korean writing to make a poem that resembles the feeling of helping each other and ohana.
I have improved my writing skills. When I made my postcard I was able to understand how to write in Korean. After writing the postcard I was able to read my poem. I also improved my perspective on the community by contributing to raise funds for Maui. We were able to contribute to our ohana making money for the people in Maui. I was able to learn that Ohana is helping each other.
I am grateful that we were able to raise funds for Maui and help the APIS community be happy by selling them yummy snacks. It was challenging and fun to make a postcard. It was hard to make my Korean handwriting neat and clear. I want to learn more about writing in Korean. It was fun to make Hotteok to sell in the APIS community. I hope that we will have a big impact on helping Maui.

Toby, who loves the Korean language and culture more than anyone else, is always kind and friendly to everyone. His gentle nature and unwavering professionalism, where he always strives for the best, make his Korean lessons shine.
His humor and love for life are cleverly woven into the stop-motion video “Toby’s Self-Introduction Story, and Korean creative book “Pig’s Picnic.” Enjoy his wonderful Korean pronunciation and professional planning skills and idea, and even background music.

I really liked your presentation. I think you are very cool as well as your dad 🙂
I just watched your presentation about your hero and I think your dad is such a cool person! Your Korean pronunciation was really good and the flow of your words is really coming along 🙂
Your presentation was great. I think your Korean was really great and I loved how you used difficult words like 이타심. Your pronunciation was awesome! 🙂 I hope you continue to learn Korean in the future. 화이팅!
Hello! I loved your presentation. Great work! I appreciate how you used different Korean words that may be hard to pronounce and I understand the difficulty you may face learning a new language. I liked the way you described your father and could feel the love. I know it takes a lot of courage to present in another language. Hope to see you in the future. 감사합니다!
I like how you used higher level language wordings such as 헌신. Pronunciation showed how you’ve been practicing and had been studying Korean hardly. I am happy for you to enjoy Korean traditional stuffs and language.
