The word “ Olympic” comes from the name of the town Olympia in Greece, where the ancient Olympic Games were always held. The first Olympic Games were held in 776 B.C, and the Games took place every four years after that date until A.D 394. In 1875, a French scholar and educator, Pierre de Coubertin, proposed that the Games should be revived as an international competition to encourage both sport and world peace.

Glen Brook South (GBS) High School is in a suburb of Chicago, Illinois, in the United States. It is an award-winning school with a highly competent teaching staff. It has over 400 Asian Pacific American students-over 17 percent of the students in the school. Of these, the majority are Korean American. This is very unusual in a state where Korean Americans are less than 1 percent of the population. The interactions of the Korean Americans students at GBS were the subject of an article in Asian Week magazine. Different Korean American students react differently to being in a high school where most students are white. Professor Pyong Gap Min, an expert on Korean life in America, believes that Korean Americans in this situation can sometimes feel inhibited or ashamed of their Korean identity. Asian Week interviewed a number of GBS students, and each had a different attitude. Eighteen-year-old Alice said that she used to spend time only with Korean American friends. Although she felt secure with those friends, she found herself motivated to form closer relationships with non-Koreans,too. She said that shee felt she was missing out on new experiences and challenges. Seventeen- year- old John moved in the opposite direction. In Junior high school, most of John’s friends were white. After coming to GBS, his sense of his Korean American identiy was restored, and he decided to have mainly Korean American friends. He feels that he and his Korean American friends understand each other better. For example, they understand about severe parental pressure to succeed at school; John felt his white friends couldn’t really understand. Sixteen-year-old Paul has some Korean American friends, but he says he spands most of his time with his white friends. He is often the only Asian American in the group, but he doesn’t mind. What Paul likes about the white culture is that he can be more radical- he can be as loud and funny as he wants to be. He says he doesn’t see as much of that among the Asian students. Without betittling the importance of what these students had to say, it’s important to remember that their opinions at this phase of their lives are bound to change as they grow into adulthood. But these honest opinions can help us beeter understand issues of cultural relations, and their honesty might help Americans from different cultural groups to get along better in the future.
