UNMCK - UNITED NATIONS MEMORIAL CEMETERY IN KOREA

Dear. Korean War Veterans Hello. I’m Eun Hye Cho and I become 18 this year. In Korea, the age 18 means that I will now be a high school sophomore in 2020. 2019 was a meaningful year for me. I met lots of friends, visited various places, ate tasty foods, and studied hard for my dream. Especially, I spent a wonderful Christmas Day with my friends and with my family last year. Because I had a good time with people last year, I wonder and look forward to what other fun things will happen in 2020. It’s always fun and exciting to greet the new year. I can do things that I didn’t do last year and moreover, I can have some time to set my goals and promise to live a rewarding year. I look forward to this new coming year because I was a little immature last year. Since it was my first time in high school, there were many things I didn’t know and things I wasn’t used to. So, based on last year’s experience, I want to make up for what I lacked this year. Actually, as the year went on, I felt like I knew what it is like to become an adult, so I am worried about lots of things. I began to think about my real dream, and I am kind of worried about the subjects that I have to study to achieve my goals. I heard that when I become a second grader in high school, there are lots of things to study but have lass time to study. So I wish to study well by planning efficiently. To say one more thing, in January, it was my birthday and I spent a thoughtful day. I prayed for the happiness of the people around me that day. I thought I was living a greatful life because I am loved and respected by many people. So I want to live a year of giving others lots of love as I have received before. Back to the point, I will continue to tell my goals and wishes for 2020. This year, I want to travel abroad in this year. Last year, I couldn’t make time to travel because my schedule didn’t fit with my family’s schedule. I tend to relieve stress by traveling, but because I didn’t travel last year, I felt my life becoming exhausted and I felt my body is getting tired. For this reason, I wish to travel abroad even if it is short. I also wish my classmates are assigned well this year. I think the atmosphere of the class has a great effect on the studying environment. In addition, I have some habits that I want to fix this year. First of all, I want to reduce me habit of forgetting something. To fix this one, I decided to write down materials that I need to prepare for the next class. Next, I want to sleep at regular times. When I have lots of assignments and homeworks to finish, I tend to stay up all night or go to bed late. This irregular sleeping time controls the whole day, and it has a huge impact on my school day. The efficiency of my study changes completely when sleeping time changes. So I want to have a regular sleeping time. Last, I want to reduce the habit of biting my nails. My immune system can be weakened because there are lots of germs in my hands and biting nails doesn’t look good to other people. It can be seemed that I lack confidence and an adolescent who is anxious. I wish everyone spends a happy year. And I think this happiness is possible because you worked hard for our country. Thanks to your dedication, we could live a greatful life. I hope you live a healthy and a peaceful day. I will never forget your contribution. I wish you have a Happy New Year!! Thank you. Sincerely, Eun Hye Cho
