Saying hi to everyone!

Honestly, saying hi to everyone who I've never met or known is very embarrassing assignment for me especially as a Korean. I don’t know about American people though. I remember that when I first came to this country many people said “hi, how are you?” to me even though they don’t know me. However we Korean never do that!

Anyway, when I first started this assignment at BYU campus, it was very embarrassing experience to me. When I said hi to other people, some people said hi back to me but some didn’t. The hardest thing was saying hi to girls. I was worrying about that I might look I was flirting with them.

However, as I continued to say hi to everyone I saw, saying hi to girls was more interesting and I start to realize that saying this simple greeting could acts as uplifting source for some people, maybe having a bad day. Some people were smiling when they said hi back to me. Whenever I see their smile, it was really enjoyable. I became to be grateful for this experience, and it helped me to overcome Korean culture. It was fun!
