KEEP IT SIMPLE

Read a book

Hi. My name is Brian Lee and I also have Korean name as well. It is Tae Young Lee. I am from South Korea, which means it's in right next to Japan. I came here about 3 years ago. Since I came here I couldn't even speaking, listening, maybe sort of writing and reading. About half year I worked pretty hard on English, so now I can participating in every classes. Probably I have some kind of problem in subjective words. I really like to play sports with my friends or chatting too. I think I'm enjoying the school life and with friends. In my 10th grade, I start studying AP history, SAT, and sort of honor class. It's pretty challenge for me, but I believe it will help my studying and future. From this summer, I start enjoying to playing basketball and plus, I really work hard on skills and shooting. The one of reason is I want to be in starter member in JV basketball team and become Varsity  basketball as well. Maybe it's impossible, but I still work on that. I'm still thinking about what should I do in the future. It's really hard to decide and study about it, because I'm not sure about if that is good for me in the future. I used to want to be soccer player when I was kid, but I realized it was too late to be soccer player, so I was thinking about fashions. Also that wasn't that easy to be famous designer. Well....I'm 16 and I need to go college and military while I'm a student. Maybe after that I need to find my job and wife. Also I need enough money keep my family healthy and happy. If I say to people about I can play piano, they are really surprised about that, because they think I only can play sports. So I took keyboard class in HIS about 3 years. Now I'm studying of music theory, then I can compose the song and easy understand of music. Sometimes it's really hard t study and memorize all the names and definition, but when I listen to music. that's pretty cool. Since I came here I wasn't worry about college and my future, but when I became the 10th grade, I'm really be concerned about everything. I might be concerned about those stuffs to adults. 

When I was 7th grade in Korea. I really love to playing soccer. So I really wanted to be a soccer player. It makes me want to join soccer team, so I joined. In one day, we had a tournerment. Even I socred only 1 goal. I was happy about that result. It was my first tournerment and my team got 2nd place. I'm still keeping silver medal in my room now. 

Since I was in Korea, I only like to play soccer, but after I came to H.I.S. I just realized basketball is awesome sport. So I joined the middle school basketball team. I never learned it before, so I started practicing on dribling and shooting. After 2 months, we went to the tournerment in Kobe. It was pretty hardcore game and we got 7th place out of 8 teams. It was kind of embarassing moment. 

When I became 'FRESHMEN', I was still playing basketball. We made first JV team in our school. To be honest, high school basketball training was really tough. We had to work on personal shooting, skills. Plus team works and team defence. And we tought we are ready to play against different international school in Yokohama. I think we did pretty well during the games. So we got 3rd place. I was really happy when we won the last game. 

All these boys are my basktball teammates. I hope they will be in this team next year as well. Raffie got MVP, Alex got Hustle award and I got most improve award in JV team. I really wanted to get MVP, but I couldn't get it. 

So my goals are get more 30 points in one game and get MVP this year. 

YAY!!!! In May 2014, we went to the Kyoto trip!! It was awesome trip I ever had in my life with my friends. We visited few old Japanese temples and having experience of tea ceremony. Especially 'Tea ceremony' was pretty hard, because we had bend out knee and drink green tea. I couldn't bend my knee long time. After 'Tea ceremony' was end, I got cramp on my right leg. It was really hurt. In 3rd day!!! We went to USJ in Osaka!!! That was amazing x100000 hang with friends.Everything was perfectly awesome.
