Hi! it's first writing about my working. I wrote this for sending to Korea family and friends but still hesitate to write in English. However! who cares if my English is good or not? Just enjoy it!
I work at Action ministries as volunteer. There's some programs that Action ministries are doing like lunch service for homeless and low-income women and children and 'After school program'.
Here's more information about these programs ↓
When first started working at here, It was not easy. Even if conversation is really important, I had a difficulty in speaking in English and also the southern accent was especially too hard to get it. Some woman asked me taking 'ketchup' but I didn't get what she wanted so I made her upset. Besides, some people deal with me me like waitress in restaurant! They call me using finger and ask "Give me some water" or just say "drink!". Oh my God... even I didn't understand exactly what they are saying, I could recognize they are rude. I was so embarrassed and sad as some people's rude attitude. I had prayed alot for this and tried to smiling to them although my feeling is not good. Did it due to that pray? Now, they do not being rude. They call me my name ( it's amazing! Because my name is hard to remember to them!) and first say 'hello, Good morning' It might seem to be not big but I truly thanks.
And sometimes I play the piano while they are having lunch for some person's birthday or for singing together. And also, I teach playing piano homeless woman for ten minutes every day. Actually I am not sure if she can get my tutoring well but I'm so glad I can help to her.
The time when Everything is nerves and scaring was passed and now, I almost adjust to my working and American life. At first when I came to Atlanta, I was sick because of being stressed. I thought I can do very well if go to here but it was not easy than I thought. I cried every night and have prayed to God. "Lord, please give me the power to get over and ear to listen their saying and mouth to tell my thinking."
Even I feel so hard and depressed in the dark, God is always watching me and give me the wisdom to overcome suffering. I thanks to God for letting me meet great people through and interact to with them.
