Features: The book tells the real story of a girl who entered Harvard. Na-na is a bear: During her senior year, she was admitted to the medical school of Kyungpook National University without an exam. At that time, Na-na developed binge eating disorder, so she started a 100-day weight loss plan. She ate a lot of mugwort and garlic, like a clumsy bear. After 100 days, she successfully lost 10 kilograms and was honorably elected as the "2002 Miss Korea Champion." Na-na is a frog: She participated in the "2003 Miss Universe Contest" and returned with the goal of challenging Harvard. She abruptly abandoned her medical studies and, after six months of full dedication, was eventually admitted to MIT and Harvard. Na-na is a weed: When it comes to Miss Korea, most people first think of a glamorous rose, but Na-na is not a rose; she is a wild flower. She has been cooking for her father and mother, who are teachers at school, and taking care of her younger brother since she was young. She is not afraid of household chores. Na-na is energy: Her father is a physical education teacher, who gave Na-na a strong physique and a spiritual strength stronger than her body. That's why she dares to release herself to the blue sky and bravely move forward, even if she falls. Na-na is Alpha: No matter what goals she achieves or how far she goes, she always looks forward to new challenges. We don't know what her life will ultimately be like, but one thing is certain: for her, life is endless.
