10 years ago from now in 2014, I worked as one of KWiSE (Korean-American Women in Science and Engineering)-NIH (National Institute of Health) symposium committee members. Now, I’m at San Diego. I am serving the San Diego chapter, KWiSE as a vice president. I thought that I’m all the time young, but I’m getting old. This year, President Kang and all other organization members were great. They, all members, and speakers made our annual meeting so great. Here SanDiego has lots of blue — sea and sky — and here is a beautiful place, maybe near heaven.
I hope to introduce one of mentoring books titled “Making Real Connections”. The book fits with all levels of working women, starting, middle, and even leadership. The book is one of series -Harvard business review, and has quite bunch of advices based on research.
Last summer, I had English class at MiraCosta. The lecture/class was led by Professor Donna Fazio DiBenedetto.
The class started with a few quotes. One of them was:
“The scariest moment is always just before you start. After that, things can only get better.” ~ Stephen King
“I do believe writing is thinking. Sometimes we can’t untangle what’s happening in our brains, but we get our pen moving and all of a sudden, as we write, we figure it out.” —Elizabeth AcevedoLinks to an external site.
One of the main books that we should read was “Siddahartha by Herman Hesse”.
While taking classes, I looked back myself, turned to my past, and started looking through old poems that I wrote quite long ago, and finally, I decided to share them with others.
In Korea, I published a book titled 원점 at a small independent bookstore, INDIEPUB.
In the USA, I published it as an ebook and a paper book, titled Returning to Origins at Amazon
