As an engineering student who is bad at chemistry but devotes himself to work as a reporter and an associate editor of The Granite Tower (GT), and as a trilingual Korean whose most comfortable language to speak in is Chinese, I was frequently described as "special," or even sometimes "weird." That description of mine constantly gave me identity crisis, and it was not enjoyable, until two years ago when I joined GT. When I knocked on the door of the office to take the entrance test, I thought—I am not going to let "being weird" stop me from doing what I want to do—and it is the best decision I have ever made. During the two years, my spoken and written English improved exponentially, I learned great social skills, anger management and most importantly, I got a chance to become a part of this great organization. If I chose not to apply back then, all I would have gotten in return is being less weird. When you are on the verge of making a decision—big or small—if the only thing stopping you is the worry that it might be weird for you to do it, don’t let it stop you anymore.
