Cultural House Residential Application Name: Yong Ho Kim

1. Why am I interested in living in the Cultural House?

I participated regularly in the poetry slam and was amazed at the energy exerted by the artists coming to the various events hosted here. I went mostly to listen, and enjoyed the experience thoroughly. There is a particular subculture being breathed for everybody in the cultural house. There is silent respect and good edible aroma in the evenings. I want to stay here and delve more into this portion of Macalester I haven’t been in constant touch with during my past two years.

2. What could I contribute to the Cultural House community?

I am confident my background in living with the Chilean mestizo friends from school, the Mapuche southern indigenous Chilean people I hanged out with at church, and the Korean immigrants community will come forward as an asset in understanding and expressing culture with the rest of the members of the community.

3. What are my expectations of the Cultural House?

I am looking forward to share the community space with all people, not just the diverse ones, coming to the Cultural House, while exploring and developing my own cultural identity to its complete meaning.

4. Let’s describe a program or event I would like to host next year.

¡The poetry slam, of course!

5. Do I have a roommate preference?

No. I don’t know who’s applying at the moment.

Yongho Kim Running for the FAC Chair

My name is Yongho Kim. I am a sophomore from Temuco, Chile, where I have attended an affluent high school and a rural church with high levels of poverty. I have joined a real construction crew, mixed asphalt, and helped carry a toilette reservoir eight feet tall. I have taken five philosophy courses, and plan on taking four more. When I was very little, barely about the height of your knees, I dreamt of becoming a detective later when I grew over your shoulders. Recently, I have recalled this dream to cause even more depression on those friends of mine who haven’t yet declared a major. I sing at the Festival Chorale, and you’re welcome to come in to our Saturday concert. You’ve seen me work at the Front desk of the Campus Center for two years, moving those chairs and tables at Bateman Plaza early in the morning. I’ve corrected your Spanish papers (which includes a Senior Seminar) and proposed better ways of phrasing “La idea de comer manjares me excita divinamente”. I feel I do belong to South America from a geopolitical standpoint, and I don’t care what Anderson says. If you’re moved by it and your actions reflect it, it is real. I work for ¡Adelante!. One Friday night I cried at Café Mac for the staff people wanted to kick me out just because I was two minutes late and “I hadn’t slipped my card in”. I knew them, they knew me, and that night I was working right next to them until 2:00AM, but that didn’t to have any relevance. I have no background at all with Economics, except one little survey course six years ago. If you want to see how a non-econ major organizes and gets a team of people to carefully work on financial planning for each one of your organizations, give me your vote.

I didn’t file my MCSG application in, and so you won’t see my name in the ballots. You can still vote given you remember my name’s spelling. I plan on getting rid of my moustache and scalp hair on Friday so that you won’t be able to recognize me by the time this writing gets to you. Have a great weekend.
