<p>I am a junior in canada.
As I said, i have “extraordinary” experiences 
I’ll just list some of them… (it’s not in a chronological order)</p>
<p><em>-Immigration</em>: I have immigrated to Canada from Korean about 2years ago. We were poor so I never thought of comming to Canada but my dad is a skilled-worker (carpenter), so we were able to move here.
<em>-Cave Life</em>: In Korea, my parents and I lived in a mountain cave for 2months. There was no electricity, toilet, kitchen, heat, etc. We were pretty much isolated from the world for a couple of month.
<em>-Special Need School</em>: okay, it’s not a special need school that you think. It was more like a school with students who wanted to homeschool. You know how competitive the schools in asian countries are. I was one of the top students but I felt like I was wasting my time in school so i decided to go to this “special school”. But… after I went to this school for a while, I realized how unorganized and not prepared the school was. So I went back to regular school.
<em>-Going into a Buddhist temple to become a monk</em>: This sounds weird, doesn’t it? yes… but i was only in grade 4 or something. I am really “spiritual” and have always been searching for truth. So I went into a Buddhist temple to learn more about the spiritual things and achieve nirvana But soon, people around me, even the other monks in the temple, started to advice me to go back to school. I thought for quite a while and concluded that going back to school was necessary.
<em>-Moving/Transferring A LOT</em>: I have been moving around the country for like thousand times… actually like 20 times… (in korea). As a result, I’ve transferred many many times. The reason? I’ll just say that my dad is a person who does everything he wants (in a good way) and who is very passionate 
Yes, so the school that I go to right now is my 10th school.</p>
