My name is Cho, Eunhae
The Chinese characters of my name are ���� which mean simply "grace from God"
Even before I was born, my name was chosen to be what it is because of all the troubles my parents had to go through to have me take in the air and see the world.
My mom had several miscarriages before I was born. After the second infant in her womb went out of existence, she "saw the sky of guilt falling down on her."
After a year, she became pregnant again.
She was determined to deliever this child, but neither my parents or the obstrician had the confidence or faith.
For exactly 7 months, she was hospitalized, (actually, in this sense, the word "hospitalized" would be wrong, because she chose to be in nowhere but the hospital where she and her child would be taken care of safely).
She did not move, she did not do anything that might even disturb the baby, and no need to speak of, never even thought of another misfortune happening.
Her beautiful body was ruined, her nerves were tense, and her serenity was perturbed endlessly through countless nightmares of things that already have happened and things that might happen any time in the near future.
For 24 hours, seven days a week, 31 days a month for 8 months, she stayed in the bed and prayed to god to give his grace upon the child.
The day came, and the miraculous baby was born with a loud cry and a light but healthy body of 2.7 kg.
With no doubt of hesitation, I was named in the thankfulness of my parents toward god's grace.
Now I live on everyday bearing the name so common among others, but so uncommon and precious on my own.
Whenever I forget to value myself or my family members who always look out for me, I remind myself of the endless effort and tears that had to be spared to bring me into what I am now.

I can't tell you that I mean to make this website fancy, or intellectual.
I hardly know how to make a decent website.
What I CAN tell you is that, if you follow through the pages,
you will at least have the slightest idea of who I am,
and what kind of person I am.
Here are some writings that show what kind of person I was, and am (just a little bit)
