1. Music. I simply love music, almost any genre. I will listen to classical music to heavy metal. Also, I will (most of the time) discriminate individual singers, but Rebecca Black and Justin Beiber I just cannot stand. I love K-Pop, classical, pop, and rock the most. I adore BIGBANG, SHINee, Maroon5, Owl City, Linkin Park, and Kim Jong Guk. I don't listen to songs sung by girls very much. My favorite composers are along the line of 권지용 (Better known by G-dragon of BIGBANG), Eminem, Mozart, Dvorak, Beethoven, and so forth.
I have a special adoration of 김종국(Kim Jong Guk) because I fell in love with his songs ever since I heard the song "Lovely (사랑스러워)" in 3rd grade. And ever since then, I have been a steady fan of him. He has an amazing voice and great songs, in my opinion. He sings different varieties of songs, too, ranging from love ballads to dance.
My love and passion for classical music is very recent. It all started three or four years ago when I first started my first instrument, aside from the recorder. It was the flute. The first year was terrible; it was pain itself. I hated flute so much in fifth grade. In middle school, however, I auditioned to join the school band. Some say I have the luck of the devil, and maybe they are right. By some crazy miracle I came first in the competition to join the symphonic band. So naturally, I had to practice every night to keep up with the music we were playing in class. After that year, I became better at flute, I eventually moved up to first chair. Because of this experience, my love of concert band and classical music improved. By the way, my flute is currently a black nickel flute which I call Xavier. And I have a practice flute, my first flute, called Stadtler. In addition, I have a piccolo named Will.
2. I love tacos and burritos so much. My friend and I used to go to Chipotle, a taco and burrito place, almost every Sunday after we discovered it. She is one of my best friends, and our birthdays are one day apart. So it does have a special connection to me, but I also love it for the taste. I love it so much that if I could eat one food for the rest of my life, it would be Chipotle's burritos. They are also very nutritional, since they usually have rice, lettuce, meat, cheese, tomatoes, and onions. Too bad they don't have Chipotle here. It's such a shame.
3. I love my friends the most. (except for my family, of course!) Most of them live in Virginia right now, but some of them live in different countries. I really don't have a best friend, since I all like them so much. About 90% of my friends are boys, but that doesn't matter. I usually friend boys, or tomboys, because they are much easier to talk to. Girly girls, in my opinion, take offense at every thing you say. Like for instance, you can be like,

"You're so pretty today!"
And then they're all like,
"Oh, are you saying that I wasn't pretty before? You're so rude!"
I honestly do not get women or girls' logic although I am female, too. Hypocrite.

4. I LOVE MODEL UN. I've model UN'd for approximately two-and-a-half years or so, and all I have to say about it is that it's absolutely wonderful and amazing. I've been in a lot of competitions for MUN, and one was at Thomas Jefferson high school for science and technology. It was so fun. I was a delegate from Turkey with my friend Manloya, and my friends Erik and Jason were delegates from Austria. Even though we were only freshmen in MUN, we, delegates from Turkey (and delegates from South Korea, too!) passed a resolution while everyone else's got rejected and got voted out. That was a great experience for me. Not only did we get to know more about world affairs, we also saw the delegates from China get dragged out by people with Nerf water guns while we nuked Russia and sold half of China to Google. Yes, it was strange, but it wasn't always fun and games like this.

Model UN was not only a thing where I went to study and gain knowledge, it was the only time where I got to see and talk to some of my friends. Thanks to model UN, I could develop friendships with people I didn't know before, because for the competitions, we had to write the position papers together. Not only that, I got to joke around with my friends in casual MUN on Thursdays. Also, it had qualities that debate didn't have, such as not being radically to one side. Not only that, you had a time limit of "45 sec- 1 min 30 sec" to talk, much, much less than the time limit that the debate puts on you. And many people, up to a hundred, can participate at once.
Also, they gave us snacks in model UN on Thursdays.
