Because of the recent Korean holiday on March 1st, we learned about the March First Day. March First Day came on about when people started independence movements against the Japanese ruling. It was really interesting to see how much of an impact this independence movement had on Korea's freedom. I also learned about Yoo Gwan Soon, an 18 year old girl who led the independence movement. She was cheering for Korea even when she was in jail and till she was executed. After learning about this historical event, my patriotism toward Korea started burning up. I never realized people fought for independence this passionately.
