I am now a senior in highschool, the oldest of all three grades. It is hard to picture myself graduating in a few months. I feel like I have not accomplished much and that I am not yet ready to be graduating already. Nevertheless, it is true that years have past and that all the time I have spent here in Cheongshim was real.
Two years, after moving back and forth from America to Korea and Korea to America, I finally and safely settled in Korea and started attending CSIA. Everything and everyone seemed to be harsh on me and this kept me thinking of going back to the states or simply quitting school. I, however, was mostly motivated by my old friends who seemed to be having a happy life without any worries or feeling of pressure. I decided to win over myself and go through all the changes and finally become a different and a better person.
After two years in Cheongshim, I am proud to say that I have reached my goal and succeeded in becoming the owner of my ownself. I do have a few moments from the past that I regret now; however, this particular time of my life would be the time when I have the most confidence and character.
