UNMCK - UNITED NATIONS MEMORIAL CEMETERY IN KOREA

Dear, korea war veterans Hello, my name is Shin Min Ha, and I`m 17 years old this year. As you know the year, 2020 is coming for us now. This year, 2020 is very important to me. Because this is the first year when I enter high school. It makes me very nervous. I am not sure you know about this, but Korea's education fever is at the top of the world. This phenomenon becomes the most intense when you are a high school student. So I think it's more true that this 2020 is scary than exciting. Because people think that entering a good university is the most important thing in a student's life. It's awful that these things come to me. I wonder what it means to you to be 2020. Because you don't go to school or go to academy like me. I wish that your new year is the most greatest year for you. I celebrate the year with my family. I hope that this year is the luck year for me. Because there is a positive feeling that if the first start is good, the result will be good. It is just my opinion. Actually, I did not write down the new year`s plan. But many people write down their new year wish. As a result, few people keep the plan well, but I still think it's better to make a point about the plan. So I don't know if I'll keep all my plans, but I'm going to let you know my plans. First, I will study hard as hard as can. Adults around me say, "When you go to high school, you should study hard." As you may know, the Korean curriculum system consists of six years of elementary school, three years of middle school, and three years of high school. So I will try to get good results from my efforts as much as I can because I told you to study hard for 3 years. I think it will be quite difficult in the course of studying than other children because I played without studying in middle school. But I plan to live hard for the next three years with courage because many people tell my friends like me to work hard because it is not too late. However, to study hard, I have been living hard recently while attending a private institute. To be honest, there is not a day off, so it is a little hard. But if I go to university, I can have more fun, so I will study hard even if it is a little hard now. And now my parents send me a lot of support, so I think I have to work harder to repay the support. Next plan is I am going to exercise hard to be healthy. As I said before, I think health is the most important thing before that even if study is important. But I don't have much stamina, so I think I'll work out hard this year and keep myself healthy. But it is very hard to exercise steadily. I plan to stay healthy by working out hard because it is better to be healthy than sick. If you are thinking about what to do this year, I think it is not bad to decide to work out with me as a plan. Because as you know, being healthy is the best thing. I will always be thankful for your sacrifice this year, which is in 2020. I wish you good health in the New Year. If I have a chance to write to you again, I will write you again. I wish you a happy New Year. Sincerely, Minha Shin
