Write a story about your childhood
If someone
asks me about my childhood, I would say it was pretty fun days. I have been to
many places over the world and met a
number of people including my friends. I love people and having time with them.
However, since I had to move to many countries due to my parents business
conditions, I sometime feel very lonely. When I was 2 years old I went to Egypt
and I lived for almost 5 years. Egypt was nice country except that some
criminals can seen easily around the city. After my father’s expatriate period
was over, I came back to my country and started to attend korean education
system. As I mentioned above, I love to spend time with people that it was not
that hard to be used to korean system. However, even though I had a fun time
with my little friends, I always felt a sense of lonely. I thought this
symptoms were just a rite of passage that most of youth pass through. As a result,
actually it was more than adolescence. It placed inside of my mind somewhere
and came out unexpectively. It is my still sole chronic disease. After few
years in my country, I had to expatriate again to the United States. To me it
was nice chance for me to challenge and experience other culture. However, in
my mind I did not want to go to new place. I was sick of repetting same courses
again such as getting used to new language and understanding the diffrent
foreginers way of life. There was no choice for me to stay in Korea because I
was too young to say ‘let’s stay in
Korea’. So I abroad to United States again and nearly spent two years from
third grades to fifth grades, and eventually came back to Korea. The period
when I came back from United States was the hardest time ever amony my
lifetime. I started to see everything negative and did not listened to elders’
advice. I did not study and have not done any of homework of all clases. At
that time, nothing came to me as a fun stuffs. However, the only breakthrough
was my friends. Depression was my nemesis.
It tried to ruin my life. So the only way to overcome that hardship was to
always think positively. For example, if teachers assigned bunch of homework
then I thought like this ‘ They are same person and they know how it is painful
for students to do homework, but those homeworks are needed for us and that is
why teahcers give us that amount of homeworks. I am still against the teachers
who assigned a lot of homeworks. After
few years of spending in Korea, I faced another challenge. My father’s company
ordered him to expatriate because of business. So I came to Turkey.
