UNMCK - UNITED NATIONS MEMORIAL CEMETERY IN KOREA

To. Respected Veterans Hello, my name is Seongjin Hwang. And, I am a 3rd grade student of Hankuk Academy of Foreign Studies. Above all, I appreciate you very much. Today, I’ll talk about our lives in COVID-19(Corona Virus Disease 19). In a word, everyone is experiencing confusion. For me, I am not able to go to school now. All schools are being prevented from starting first semester by government. Since the situation like this one happened for the first time, I think that severity about COVID is gradually elevating continuously. So, actually I do not know when my school begins semester. There is still possibility that starting semester will put off more. I worry a lot about this problem. Because I became a test-taker of national college entrance exam, the specific date of test effects me a lot. I had always nervous, anxious feeling, but I decided the changing of my mind from now on. Through this, I could learn that all changes derive from one’s own mind. So, I am trying to study so hard and focus on myself. In addition, I do exercise sometimes with my friends and my mother. However, there are more problem about COVID in our lives such as economy. Although I don't know specific situation because I am living in my town, I heard such things from my father. He said current situation is the hardest occasion of all time. Substantial markets are closed, and the entertainment facilities such as fitness center, and bar are inhibited from using. Most of people try to but more masks. And, the government encourages people to keep the social distance. Are there so much problems in our lives? From here, I will talk about myself more concretely. As I told you, I am studying hard these days. And this process is for the achievement of my dream. My dream is to be a great soldier like you. Soldiers have their duty on national defense and national people. I think that helping others by using my talent and effort is gorgeous thing. The jobs doing this behaviour are various. The reason why I chose the soldier amog them is that I was attracted another trait of solider. Soldiers are healthy physically and mentally. Actually, I have a brother who is on Korean Military Academy. Seeing my brother’s growth and change, this job came to me more interestingly. Finally, I could get my dream. In my perspective, you are very great warriors. I think that fighting for my country is never easy one. But, you fought and sacrificed yourself for other country, in which I live. I always live my life having grateful and respecting mind. If you had not helped our country, maybe sure things could have been the ones that were not. I want to tell you that I have my dream and live ordinarily is thanks to you. I really appreciate all of you. COVID is not the case that affects only us. So, take care of yourself. Sincerely, From Seongjin Hwang.
