TAE HO'S BLOG ... Coming Back to the US ... Coming Back to Kents Hill! 8/25/2008 Editor's Note: We welcome new blogger, senior Tae Ho Hu, to our group!
That day in June when I left the school seems like yesterday, and it seems that vacation was over a week later! It has gone really fast; I cannot believe the vacation is already going to end. As I think about what I did this summer and what happened to me, I realized that this was a different kind of vacation. I must be getting old.
This summer has been really significant for me as a rising senior; this summer was a turning point in my life. More than I thought, there were lots of things to do to prepare for college, such as writing essays. As I worked on my college applications, I had a really interesting time as I remembered and re-walked my past.
Of course, during whole summer vacation, I did not spend my time only on applications to college. On my birthday, August 18, 2008, I went to the beach with my friends to celebrate. This trip was one of the first trips all summer with all of my friends and so it was really meaningful to me. I feel now that I have become an adult. Another most memorable memory of this summer will be the Olympics. My family and I watched all the games and cheered every time a player got a medal, not just the Koreans. When a player got a gold medal, we were as happy as if we had received the gold medal. Every time I met my friends, we would always talk about the Olympics. This Olympics were so great and it is so wonderful when every player does his best.
The time to go back to Kents Hill School is coming step by step. As I face leaving my country and my friends, I face my annual dilemma. I still want to be in my country and have fun with my friends because for me, it is really hard to separate from my friends every time. But, on the other hand, I cannot wait to see and meet my Kents Hill friends and all the new students who will be good friends with me.
See you guys soon!!!!!!

What Else Do I Do?
GSA, Assistant Editor of the Newspaper, Ricker Hall Players, Proctor
Top 4 on my IPod:
Fidelity - Regina Spektor
Amsterdam - Guster
Eleanor Rigby - The Beatles
Cell Block Tango - Chicago soundtrack
My Favorite KHS Five:
1. Small classes, you always have the opportunity to speak your opinion and discuss issues.
2. The flexibility of the teachers and faculty members. They are on campus and easy to see for extra help, and check their email constantly, and as I am a day student this is really great.
3. The challenge. The expectations are high but are worth going for, and when you reach them the feeling of accomplishment is amazing.
4. Individualism - with a sister who graduated with the class of 2007, I thought people would hold me up to her level when I came freshman year. But that was definitely not the case. Many on campus don't even know we are sisters and everyone treats me as who I am, and not who I "should" be.
5. The Bookstore - even with homework, sports and challenging classes, you can go to the bookstore and hang out with friends in between classes and get coffee, chips or ice cream on a hot day. My favorite thing is hot fudge sundae Poptarts - they're only 50 cents!
