My meaningful life in February

My meaningful life in February
   

  
   On dawn of February, 2019, I had a severe stomachache. So, I went to the Yeungnam University's emergency room for an examination, the doctor said I had appendicitis and I had to undergo surgery immediately. I was given painkillers and changed into an operating suit, and I lay in bed staring blankly at the ceiling of the emergency room. As the operation time come closer little by little, my hands began to sweat, and the heart began to beat fast, because I've never had such a big surgery in my 16 years of life. 

    Entering the operating room, there were medical staff who wear dark green surgical suits, and beside them there were a various kind of surgical instruments. It was strange and nervous to see the scene that I used to watch only medical drama on TV. The doctor, who saw me like that, told me a joke and the procedure of the surgery to relax me. Since I can't remember after that, I think I fell asleep by a sleeping anesthetic. The nurse had just shaken me up, and I came into the hospital room half asleep. The gas was injected into my lung and stomach, so after the operation I had a lot of pain in my lungs whenever I breathed. 

    Even until the stomach-filled gas was came out, water and food could not be consumed, making the surgery more difficult and painful after that than during surgery. I was able to eat food through recovery, and the meal I ate as a dinner at the hospital that day was the most delicious meal of my life. Also, I felt the best happiness of my life while eating the food that I wanted to eat until now. However, there was a s reason why February 2019 remained in my memory. They are my friends who came to celebrate my birthday. My birthday was March, so it was always hard to spend my birthday with my friends because it overlapped with the school opening day, so I thought I would spend this year like last year, but my best friends bought a cake and came to the hospital to celebrate my birthday early! When I met them, I was so impressed and thankful.

   To me, February 2019 is still the most meaningful day for me because I experienced something new - whether is good thing or bad thing- in my life and I have been able to make unforgettable memories :)

A moment back then

By
Though not so often, there are those days in which something suddenly comes to your mind. For me, these are usually momentary flashbacks or small fragments of my past memories and experiences. And one of those memories is rather short but not to say short-lived.  And a lthough I find it hard referring to it as a 'life-changing' experience, it is indeed one of those memories that is deeply imprinted in my mind and means a lot to me. Back then, the 9-year-old me was in Seoul, since my family moved around quite a lot of places. The late-spring sun was glittering like sprinkles of gold, with the family tent set up on the soft grass that overlooked the Han River along with some other tents scattered here and there with people laughing and enjoying their spring excursions. While dozing off comfortably in the tent, I woke up to the tune of relaxing, yet upbeat song coming from somewhere outside. Instinctively, I went out of the tent and danced to the song, with my arms swinging and m...

She Was My Inspiration, She Made My Life Extraordinary

By
I guess for everyone, there exist those rare moments when an experience that is nothing more than a meaningless moment to others completely changes your life. For me, these moments sometimes happen at school, and today I want to share the most powerful, life-changing one with you. I still remember what I was like in 2017. I was quite an introvert boy, so just like others, I was having a hard time adjusting to the new school life and friends and felt as if everything around me had determined to distress me. (actually, I still feel this way now at our school...) I somehow managed to pass the first semester but the second semester and another two years at middle school were waiting for me. Greeting the second semester with a sense of fear, I met a new English teacher, who later became my inspiration , who made my life extraordinary . Before I met her, I had a  vague impression that I wanted to be an elementary school teacher someday. Yet, as I referred earlier, I was far from outgoing...

Meaningful moment in my life

Meaningful Moment in My Life    After learning the lesson 'Meaningful Life', I thought about what is my meaningful moment in life. It was the day when I traveled to Busan with my friend. It was my first trip(going somewhere far)without my parents. My mommy and daddy were worried about me and kept telling me that I should be careful about the car and people. However, I wasn't worried at all. I woke up in 7 and I prepare for my trip. We took a subway to get to the station and we took a train to Busan! As soon as arriving at the destination, we walked to the subway station (thankful, it was nearby the train station) We took a subway and head to the gallery. But after taking off the subway, we need to find the gallery. I launched the Google Map and input the location where I need to go. It took more than 20minutes to find it. I asked a lady and the man "Excuse me, do you know where is Seomyeon Gallery?" Fortunately, they were so kind and inform the way. The contract...
