my name is Christine Lee engineer from
the school the last three years of my
life as a high schooler was awesome yet
overwhelming it was full of homework
assignments group projects and exams I
had to catch up with all of my AP works
and so basically I hadn’t known had to
be happy I know it sounds like a lame
excuse but I’m pretty sure all students
in this auditorium right now totally get
what I’m saying
fortunately on days when I could take
breaks I started seeing everybody else
with their own definition of happiness
people going insane doing what they
really love some people believed it was
listening to their case laughters others
thought it was saying I love you and
hearing it back just like the others I
have my own definition of happiness
which I was just a little ware of and
I’m up here today to share with you at
the moment I got to I got to learn my
true definition of happiness
I have lovely parents who used to treat
me like a princess as a little kid I
also have a twin sister Esther who is
there as a staff member when Esther and
I were much younger we were separated
from each other well I was raised by my
mom’s side of the family and Esther was
with my dad’s my temporary life as the
only child was heaven my mom my aunt and
my uncle’s would spoil me on any
occasion
so birthdays Christmas New Year’s and
Thanksgiving or my favorite big packs of
soccer matches the years new Barbie
series justin beiber photo all those
Jace you name it I had it all and then
into my perfect life hey mister well she
and I turned seven we reunited and went
to live in Australia for a while for the
first time in my life I felt this
emotion called jealousy my mom needs to
buy me pretty shoes and dresses I was
doing the exact same thing for her she
also wanted me to give away my
belongings my egg-shape lint bombs
Donnell collections anything that was
supposed to be mine she would emphasize
Christine honey
sharing actually does bring you happy
at that age I couldn’t disagree more
later in my life when I became a high
school student I started going to
foreign countries for voluntary service
trips I fit two three two weeks long
voluntary service trips till now and the
surprising part of the tripolis for me
was the fact that depending on my
expectations towards the trip make them
both long and short compared to the
first two trips that happened in
Pakistan and Kyrgyzstan where I gave
away all glasses the most recent trip
that happened in Jordan was somewhat
different I wanted to do something more
things valuable for them something that
other people can’t easily try to do so I
talked her being two kids who are
waiting for their parents and taught
them some methods of vision training
with my mom and dad so after my work was
done and I finally got to come back to
Korea
the emptiness just killed me but I
realized chaeri was not something that
can only take place in countries that
need serious help not everybody needs
financial support but every single human
beings policeman office workers students
teachers and even grandparents need
comfort courage and love that little
thought made me change
amen to preschools and elementary
schools to teach them vision training
exercises with my mom and dad Horeb Taba
Truths
I’m also the meet up with North Korean
refugees who were in their teenagers and
help them orient themselves into their
school and social life another
unforgettable memory is when I got to
play float in front of the elders who
are living alone I was proud to see
myself grow as a person but I was even
happier at the fact the little changes I
made brought them comfort courage and
love sharing little things I had was
nothing really special but it clearly
changed my life and will continue to do
so
I learned the emotional value the
reciprocation of good and ultimately the
reward that comes with such feeling as a
human being I learned this duty and
desire to share my privileges that
others perhaps an opposite I know it’s a
real case
but sharing did bring me happiness I
hope you can all leave here today
wondering if you’ve ever considered how
sharing as one of the many factors that
can make you happy and smile I cannot
guarantee it’s going to change your life
drastically but I do guarantee it’s
going to change at least a little bit of
your life philosophy the heart is what
makes you happy please keep this in mind
thank you
