the story 1.

  It's already been 5 months since I came to Canada.

  In order to change my environment and to give myself a more

constructive and meaningful cahllenge, I had to leave all the

people that I love the most in Vancouver and start again from

the very beginning.

  The first day of my new school was not so happy and

pleasant, because I finally bacame aware that my English is

pitifully poor. Honestly, I needed to be taken down a peg or

two. I was very big-headed about my English and I've been

wasting precious time and money. Apparently, I've been im-

proving and getting more confident, but that's not enough for

paying back all that money to my parents.

  Konwing varied use of a lot of vocabulary is of paramount

importance to my English.

  My sister told me one thing to encourage me when I was

having a hard time in high school studying to achieve my

goal for the Korean SAT.

  "If you were trusted by someone else, to be better and by

 yourself as well, you would be, you should be!"

  Every time I hear from friends in Vancouver via email and

SMS, I'm truely encouraged, ain't I?

  It will be tough, hard and lonely. It will be the worst bitch

ever. But as long as they are standing behind me and wat-

ching me, as long as their gazes are lighting me, I have

enough reason to go for it, to accomplish it.

  (It's quite long and tough, though...)
