After summer vacation, my second global camp was over. I have already experienced it during summer vacation, and I was undecided about whether I should do it again, but I came to participate in the second global camp because I thought it would be a different feeling. The overall theme of this global camp was Ganghwa's cultural heritage. Team 5, which I was part of, chose the subject of Japan-Korea Treaty of 1876 and the cases of violations of human rights in the era of Japanese occupation. There were many friends in our team that I knew before last time, and I was excited because the chosen topic was what I had been interested in. My job was to investigate, translate and present the military police system under Japanese control and its human rights violations. At first, it was just pitch-dark. All of these were concerned with what to look into and how to translate. Above all, it was the most challenging to keep talking to teachers in English without enough confidence. I was worried that my lack of English skills would be a nuisance to others now that I came all the way here. However, I found myself gradually working hard towards completing my task. It was the time to get closer to history as well as to English. It became the time to learn more about the history that I had learned but didn't know much about at school. In the Japanese occupation period, the sense of humiliation that Koreans experienced was much bigger and more terrible than what I expected. I felt sorry and thankful to my ancestors. Not only that, I wanted more people to know about the human rights of Koreans which were trampled down in this period. I vowed to become a police officer later who values human rights more than anything else. The process of translating was a bit tricky. It was frustrating and difficult to change words and sentences, which were unfamiliar even in Korean, into English. But my friends and teacher helped me a lot so I could do it safely. I was very proud and pleased to see that our team did their best in a short period of time, in researching, translating and uploading it to Wikipedia. At first, I was actually worried that we might not be able to make it within the allotted time, but that was all unnecessary. After this task was finished, we began to prepare for the presentation. Our presentation was a play. I was a script writer. Writing a script was not easy, but I solved it quickly it with my friends. And we shared the part and memorized the lines. Fortunately, I could memorize quickly because I wrote the script. After all, because of the teacher's help, advice, and our efforts, we were able to prepare for the presentation. So we have successfully finished the presentation. Unfortunately, I did not win the prize, but I think our team did the best. It was a choice among the concerns, but now I think it was a good choice to participate. It would have been a real waste if I missed this opportunity. Also, it is really important and meaningful because it is the activity of only Ganghwa Girls High School. Although the world is becoming more globalized, we have fewer opportunities to speak and present in English at school. However, this camp was a good experience and stepping stone to improving English. In the future, confidence and interest in English will grow. Going to school during the vacation and participating in the global camp were all difficult challenges, but I think it was worth it and I will remember it for a long time.
