William Butler Yeats <BR/>As I lie awake another night saddened by the thought that we may never know what truly happened to our beloved friend Jin Ju, I am filled by the fire of her memory. I may never be able to sit with her again in my office but whom ever comes to sit with me I will be encouraged to speak to by her, I may never be able to see the light of her smile again, but whom ever sees me will be encouraged by my memory of her smile, she may never fulfill the rest of her dreams, but I will fulfill mine because of her. May your memories of Jin Ju light your fire as I will let them light mine. I will keep her in my thoughts with every student I meet, with every day I greet and I will cherish the memories of Jin Ju and all she brought to us at Port Richmond HS. Please visit me in my office and share your beautiful memories of Jin Ju. My thoughts and prayers are with her family and all those who were graced by her presence. <BR/><BR/>Ms. Watkins, Gateway Guidance CounselorMs. Goffredohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14803377748754636373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1055231121947676927.post-19057479485680176422009-04-12T13:46:00.000-07:002009-04-12T13:46:00.000-07:00i really can't believe jin ju is gone. we weren't ...i really can't believe jin ju is gone. we weren't close but now every moment i had with her has so much more of a deeper meaning. i now cherish each time she made me laugh and every random conversation we had. i wish it was all a joke and that i would see you again at school and know you better. but i know that isn't what is going to happen. port richmond will never be the same. i'm going to miss you jin ju. rest in paradise.misz hilly.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08781532689331265069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1055231121947676927.post-87330587316264442662009-04-12T01:59:00.000-07:002009-04-12T01:59:00.000-07:00i wish i've gotten to know you better,we had reall...i wish i've gotten to know you better,<BR/>we had really small conversations, but i still remember them.

I know you had a bright future ahead of you and you could of done anything you wanted. You always seemed to understand me and make me smile. I will never forget all the good times we had, they will always be close to my heart. You always wanted everyone to be closer and make peace, well it seems like you got your wish. I still can't believe you won’t be next to me during English class or history class. Prom, graduation and the rest of senior year will feel so wrong without.

As a parent we worry about our children constantly. I can't imagine what her parents are feeling right now and I never want to. What I do want to say is please, please, please children, if you have a problem or are not feeling good about yourself go to a friend, a teacher, someone, just don't give up. Don't give up your beautiful life and the beautiful future that you can make for yourself. Jin Ju should be an exmple. Remember how you felt when you found out about her departure and think abou how everyone that loves you will feel. There's always a way out, you just have to find it. I'm sure if any one of you went to Jin Ju with a problem she would have helped. We have to remember that and help each other and be a friend to one another so that maybe we can make a diference in someones life. May Jin Ju rest in peace and may her family be at peace.<BR/>Remember, Love yourself and one another. <BR/>Peace to you all.<BR/><BR/>Magy Olivo<BR/>Maria and Rebeccas mom.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1055231121947676927.post-47558465990425490742009-04-10T21:22:00.000-07:002009-04-10T21:22:00.000-07:00This is all too surreal.

No way, this is some mistake. It can't be.' Until it was comfirmed a second time by the principle on the loud speaker, I just kind of sat there in doubt. It hit me pretty hard. I just don't see why bad things happen to good people. Jinju was a beautiful girl. She was always so happy and she was always smiling. She was my gym partner last semester and we used to talk about everything. I used to really look forward to that class because I loved talking to her. She was such a strong-willed, determined girl. I loved how confident she was. She was definately a great rolemodel. This tragedy has left me a bit broken. I can't go long without it coming to my mind. Port Richmond will not be the same without her.<BR/><BR/>R.I.P Jinju<3Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03692939956699227157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1055231121947676927.post-70158342357799112962009-04-10T20:16:00.000-07:002009-04-10T20:16:00.000-07:00"To laugh often and love much; to win the respect ..."To laugh often and love much; to win the respect of intellingent persons and the affection of children; to earn the approbation of honest citizens and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to give of one's self; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to have played and laughed with enthusiasm and sung with exultation; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived - this is to have succeeded." - Ralph Waldo Emerson<BR/><BR/>This was Jinju.

I also rememberd how me and you would go back and fourth to each office to make copies of your posters to run for class president. And look at this, you stayed class president for all the years being in port. you have a great smile and an amazing personality. you were honest and determind and I don't think I'll ever meet someone quit like you.

I will never forget her amazing smile or her optimistic view on life. JinJu always had the ability to brighten my day, no matter what was going wrong. Actually, she had the ability to brighten every ones day. She would approach fellow cadets and say "Hey guys! What's up?" Most of us would appear annoyed, but how could we deny the beautiful, huge smile on her face? All our troubles would go away at the sight of her smile. <BR/>Anyone who knew JinJu knew how amazing and smart she was; and the fact that she is gone is heartbreaking and hard to live with. I can't go 5 minutes in a day without thinking of JinJu or hearing her cheery voice in my head. Somebody like her didn't deserve to have their life cut short. She would have done so many good things. I will now value every moment I have in life even more, because we all have JinJu to guide us through the darkest times.<BR/>The star that shines brighter burns faster...

The feeling of emptine...Jin Ju, I miss you so much. The feeling of emptiness in my heart is indescribable. You suddenly and unexpectedly left the world. Your lost makes me losing my self-consciousness and concentration; your lost makes me numb. Sometimes, I wonder what reality is. How can reality be so cruel and pitiless? Why is life so unfair? <BR/>Sometimes, I wish this whole thing’s just a dream; when I wake up from this nightmare in the morning, everything will be back to normal again. However, part of my mind keeps whispering to me that "Stop waiting stupid, she will never come back". <BR/>Jin Ju, the image of you constantly appearing in my mind. However, all those images and memories in my mind can not replace your physical existence. The whole world is not the same anymore. <BR/>When I went to the service, you looked so peaceful and tranquil. You were so close to me, but at the same time, I felt we were so far apart. I really miss you and I want you back.<BR/>Death is the ultimate stage of human's life cycle. We should face death with bravery, and with courage. Human are organisms with emotions; therefore it's difficult for us to control and suppress them. However, let's not making death the factor that prevents us from moving on to our future. Let's make Jin Ju our biggest motivation; the ultimate driving-force that encourages both you and me. When we feel lazy doing work, please think about Jin Ju, who lost her previous opportunity to accomplish her dream. We truly are the lucky ones. I will live and work harder for her; I will value my life and make everyday of my life the best day ever. Jin Ju, give me some times, because one day I will be successful. <BR/>Rest In Pease Jin Ju Kim<BR/> …From your friend, your a.p biology and statistic classmate, your soul mate, Chia Chou PanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1055231121947676927.post-55633866548383337172009-04-09T20:34:00.000-07:002009-04-09T20:34:00.000-07:00to a fallen angle...youu will forever be missed..i...to a fallen angle...youu will forever be missed..in our hearts is where youu lie and maybe one day we can walk side by side jus as we once did..its hard to imagine life here without youu and tha beautiful smile && soul of yours....heres to jinju kim..for the one we lost on earth but gained a deserving spot in heaven...RIP BABY GIRL...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1055231121947676927.post-3131280899808659132009-04-09T20:26:00.000-07:002009-04-09T20:26:00.000-07:00Although i knew Jinju Kim for a very short time i ...Although i knew Jinju Kim for a very short time i wish i had known her longer.Jinju was a warm hearted spirit that could put a smile on your face with her kind.I admired how smart and intelligent she was,she was living proof that you can do anything if you set your mind to it.Although she is not here with us,she will always be in our hearts,and we will never forget the good times we spent with her.Jinju Kim will always be an angel looking out for us.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1055231121947676927.post-61971602699186015092009-04-09T20:20:00.000-07:002009-04-09T20:20:00.000-07:00i may not have known JinJu as well as the rest, bu...i may not have known JinJu as well as the rest, but i know one things for sure. she was the sweetest girl you would ever meet. she always had a smile on her face that you couldnt help but smile back. i shared a sociology class with her, she was known as the senator..she was going places, she was class president, a leader an inspiration...she was a girl who was right on track, her loss has really taught us that you never know what can happen , to live life.
