To be a 20 years old
The end of the 19 years old, I used to think ‘What is to be a 20 years old?’ Very often. I was so excited that I didn’t wear school uniform and was not minors no more. But, on the other hand, I used to worry about going more big society, too.
Now, I am 20 years old and the first semester slipped by. During last semester, I experienced many things in short time. The big change in my life is to enter the Gachon University. That the result of study for 12 years from elementary school to high school was decided just in a day’s exam was futile. But fortunately, I can enter the university that I can study what I want to. University was bigger and more various world than my thought. When I first went to my new school, the scene that many people walked to other sides in very wide campus came to me as ‘Wow, this is the very campus’s freedom!’ So, I was very excited because I will be one of them with new friends. After entering the university, everything I experienced was new such as making a timetable for myself, moving to another building to attend the class, wandering campus to search my lecture room and attending a drinking party. That I was called ‘freshman’ was also new feeling to me.
I thought, ‘To be a 20 years old’ was an incantation that made me brave like magic. I had too much worry about my future at the end of the teenager. But after being a 20 years old, I became a ‘freshman’ and I stood at the start line again. So I got the bravery that I could do anything! I didn't hesitate no more. When I hesitated something, bravery said to me “This is the time to do it.” So, I went to Gangwondo extemporaneously to join OT by bus and taxi for myself, I knocked the door of music club to learn my long-cherished guitar, and when I met a man that I thought ‘He is good person’, I caught him. Everything I did with my bravery fortunately comes back to me with good effects and makes me happy now. But, what if I failed? It also should be good effects to me. According to adult’s word, 20- year-olds is the age that is not afraid to fail.
So I want to spend my twenties doing many various experiences. I met new people in university and part time job. In past years, despite my friends’ and my dreams were different, we studied same things. But now, as people’s dreams are different, they study and experience different things. During talking with person who studies different from me, I can open my eyes to new world. And I hope to experience new things and I get bravery like magic that is given by twenties. Because, according to adult’s word, 20-year-olds is the age that is not afraid to fail. Even though It is very small thing, whether for good or for evil, everything will be good foundation to me
