Something I could commemorate the day I leave Korea, since this was an important time in my life, seeing as living in Korea dominated a lot of the time when I grew up. Ive learned a lot coming to Korea and I will leave a better person then when I came.
Since I lived in Korea for 4 years this event will take place over 4 days, and each day I will face towards Korea and think about all my friends and experiences I had in Korea. During this event I can wear an article of clothing that shows I went to SFS, like a SFS sweater.

The Morality of Greek Myths- Reflection #6
The story of Orpheus is a love story about a talented musician venturing down to the underworld in order to retrieve his deceased beloved Eurydice. He is almost able to lead her out of the underworld but fails in the last moment, to which he mourns until the day he dies.
Orpheus is heroic due to his talent, resolve, and pure love, but it is his faults that overcome him. His obsession causes him to attempt to defy the rules of nature and fail to succeed. His obsession also prevents him from living his life after the lose of his love.
The moral the story tries to tell his that you must learn to let go. Holding on to what you can no longer have will only cause pain. And no amount of skills or talent can bring back the dead.
This story is able to explain the power of love, and the events of the underworld.
