My ethnic background is South Korean. I was born and raised in Canada; however, my parents originated from South Korea, which is why my Korean heritage is essential. They have sacrificed a lot, including pieces of their cultural traditions, to live a comfortable life in Canada. I need to continue to live life proud as both Korean and Canadian.

I am an individual with Christian beliefs. My spiritual beliefs are an essential part of my identity. My life is based off Christian values and beliefs, which helps me heal and cope with situations that an individual alone cannot do. Without these beliefs, it would be hard for me to have a more positive outlook on life.

Our cultural practices include coming together as a community and gathering at church on specific and important days. I attend church every Sunday to show my respect and devotion to God. Other special days that we gather and celebrate include Jesus's resurrection day celebrated on Easter Day, and the rebirth of Jesus marked December 25th. These days represent importance in our culture. As a devoted Christian, it is essential to continue these practices and build a foundation that means who I am as an individual and what I believe.

A common belief that has been passed on through generations is to love all. Love includes being kind, having patience, and more. We should not pick and choose who to treat better or worse. It is essential to give to those who cannot love or do not know how to love. This belief is crucial for me because this is what has been carried on by my family. It makes sense for me to carry it on as it spreads this belief's positive message because it only influences others positively.

My family speaks Korean and English. Since their heritage is Korean, Western culture impacted them a lot when they migrated to Canada. They had no choice but to adapt to the western culture particularly, learning the English language, relearn the common laws, and understand the basics of what is the appropriate norm is in this culture. It naturally conflicts with your previous culture, which is their Korean culture, because of cultural differences.

I am a very open-minded individual who learns through personal life experiences and the experiences of others. The sources of knowledge usually start from what I have been exposed to regardless of the closeness of relationships. I am a person who is always eager to learn new things and fascinated by what's out of my own knowledge. However, I understand that many individuals have different opinions and views. Whatever information I intake will not be externalized until I know it is justified. This statement means to be verified in its truth by proof of research and reassurance through actions made.

When thinking about the term Ontology, I think of existence and reality. The way I view relationships is more the respect and connection you share with someone or something. I have love/hate human relationships but also with nature as well. There will be days when I feel safe and more connected with the natural world than human interaction. It all depends. My social reality leans more towards a collective culture; however, I also possess individualist traits. Having both manners indicates my openness and not being opposed to difference.

My way of staying connected to my community is to attend Sunday service. Attending church allows me to feel connected to my inner self and is a haven for me. Community activities are a feeling of fellowship with others and bring a sense of belonging.

My beliefs and Practices consist of flowing with the moving world and adapting to the ever-changing. This statement proposes my learning from the good and bad experiences and lives life expecting the unexpected. I think my optimistic views help me survive through the hardships in life and lend a lending hand to those around me. I believe that throughout the years, I've learned that bad experiences are what teach us more than being exposed to only the good parts of life. The elements of life that we often wish to ignore and avoid are the ones to consider because you will not feel intimidated by the what-ifs and are only prepared for what is to come next. With my beliefs, I externalize it through the practice with my involvement with those who require help. This includes volunteering or being available. Whether they are close relations, acquaintances, or strangers, I believe that God placed me in this world to make a difference; perhaps make a difference in somebody's world.
