Be On Time!!

I studied about puctuality this week.
I have asked 5 American students about punctuality and all students answered be on time is important. Even though I heard that western people are more indifferent with time, they seemed caring time.
I am usually be on time because I think it is important thing to keep commitment. However I understand there are people who do not be on time.

One of my friends is so lazy man and when we were supposed to meet at 5PM, he came one hour late!! He is always late for at least one hour. So we decided to tell him a meeting time one hour earlier so that we can meet on time.

Punctuality and being late are people's habit so it is hard to change them.


Although I think being on time is important, I have been late for 8 hours!!
I had part-time job at fast food restaurant which is open 24 hours. When I worked at 22-6 (that day I was to meet friends at 12) I fell asleep and I woke up at 20 oclock! That meeting was for me since I was to go to America in a week so my friends planned it for me!! I felt awful and called to my friends and headed to there hastily. Since I felt sorry for making them wait long time, I decide not to be late any more.

Islam Beliefs...

This week, we did group presentation and our topic was about religion. Since my religion is considered just way of living and it is just considered religiously only when funeral, so this topic was little hard for me. This topic's main character is Muslim and shows the difficulties to follow his religion in the U.S.

This was good chance for me to know about Islam.
I knew only they cannot eat pork but actually their beliefs are more than that.

In the world, almost a quarter of people are Muslims.
They pray 5 times a day.
They believe in god which cannot be idolized.
There is a month called Ramadan when people stop eating during day time.
and many more...

Also I was happy to have presentation of this topic because my housemate who is from Turkey is Muslim. I had not talked to him much because I misunderstood him. When our host father made dinner using meat for us, he did not eat because according to Islam he cannot eat meat without having been prayed before killed. However at that time, I thought he was a selfish.

After researching about Islam, I could understand him a little bit more.
