In movies or television, people sometimes say “I’m living my dream.” I often wondered what living one’s dream feels like. Is it wonderful? Couldn’t it be, by any chance, dreadful? I mean, since you have already reached your dream, you no longer have a goal in life. That is the most dreadful form of life that I can imagine of. Well, now that my dream has come true, I now know what living my dream feels like-crazy!
My life here in KMLA is crazy in every way. First craziness is that it is extremely demanding. The studying itself is not that demanding. The classes are difficult to follow, but it is manageable if we just look over it once or twice. Except for few teachers like Mz. Choi and Johnson, homework isn’t too bad. As one famous teacher says, it’s always doable. The demanding part in KMLA life is life itself. First of all, we have to be responsible for ourselves. There is no one, not a single person, who will tell me what to do. We have to wake up at 6 by ourselves, but no teacher cares if we don’t. They just give penalty points. We have to restrain ourselves from ditching studies and playing games. We have to slap our own faces to stay awake during classes. No one cares if we give in. They just give penalty points or bad scores, and that’s the end of it. Second, you have to think of so many things at the same time. For instance, I have to think at this moment that I have to do the rest of Mz.Choi’s homework, and a paper on DongUeBoGam volunteer work that I did today. As a department of physical education, I have to be early to morning assembly to carry the chairs, yet as a member of the Minjok Orchestra, I have to play cello at the morning assembly. Then I have a group meeting with a bunch of other kids that I have to prepare a class for politics. Oh, and I almost forgot. I have to return the books to the library. You see, it is crazy not only because the work itself is difficult, but also because there are so much things to do. So much things to do, and if I slip one slight step, the whole thing falls down. It is, take my word, downright stressful.
Another crazy thing in KMLA is that it is extremely fun. Considering the amount of stress I am under, it is crazy that I have a lot of fun here, but it is. It really is such a joyful life. I love every class I take. I love the friends around me. I love the wonderful beauties the school building shows after snow. I love the fun of watching movies at Sundays, all of us cuddled around and screaming when a ghost appears. I love my life. Life palpitate me.
This is almost what I assigned recently. Good post. Did you actually submit this to Mrs. Choi?
