500#2 Narrative Essay My Stupid Brain

2009-11-05T06:00:00.000-08:00

Have you ever looked for a remote control that you had unconsciously put in a refrigerator? A lot of people have brainless experiences in that they do not remember where their belongings were put. I am also one of those idiotic people. I had foolishly experienced it every day for three days.
One day, I was going to my university to take part in membership training as a senior by a 5500-1 bus as I always did. When I got off the bus, I realized that I had left my purse in there. I totally got confused, but I had to control myself. Fortunately, my cousin was with me because she was also a student at my university. I borrowed some money from her. Then, I took a taxi and followed the bus. After we chased the bus for 10 minutes, we were able to catch the bus. My taxi driver shouted out, “Stop driving, please! My costumer left her purse.” The bus driver stopped driving and my purse was on the chair where I sat down. My heart almost stopped at that time.
The next day, I was taking the 1005-2 bus to go to the English Institute. I set aside my file folder. My purse was in there and there were about three books and my diary in the file folder. As soon as I left a bus, I felt empty. I forgot to bring my file folder. I started running to stop the bus on the road. Fortunately, the bus was stopped traffic. Nevertheless, the bus driver did not want to open the door because the bus was on a road and the place was not a bus stop. I stared at the bus driver with a sad face and shouted out to him, “Please, I left my file folder. Open the door!” Finally, the bus driver opened the door. I found my file folder. After the terrible mistake, I kept this in mind, “Don’t do this again.”
However, my stupid brain did it one more time the next day. I bought a quite expensive engineering calculator. I had looked at it again and again because I really loved it. Buying it was a big deal to me. I hung it on a hook in a chair when I sat in a class, but I left it in a classroom after the class. I went upstairs as soon as I realized, but it was not in there. I had not even used it one time. I was so depressed. It cost almost 60 dollars. I was not able to sleep that night. The next day, someone called me. He told me that someone had my engineering calculator. I went to him with a drink. He was keeping mine. I was relieved.
I had a couple of terrible experiences every day for three days. After that, I decided that I would not forget to keep my belongings with me. People experience realizations from their mistakes. I also learned some lessons from my mistakes. It is to look at my surroundings one more time when I leave any place. After these days, I have not left my belongings behind without me.

Their future is a challenge to them.
Teenagers are also interested in their appearance during their maturing process. They want to express their own personalities especially in co-ed school . For example, they redesign their school uniforms to express their style. Some girls tie ribbons on neck. Other girls make their skirts short. And some boys dress their hair with pomade. Some teenagers get stressed if they are not paid attention by their peers.
In conclusion, they are stressed out in many ways like relationships with people, unstable future, and appearance. However, they become mature and strong while they endure that time. Also, experiences gotten from stresses help teenagers mature. As a result, they can conquer all their difficulties when they come out into society.

In contrast, dogs are different from cats. Dogs have to be trained several times. Otherwise, they think that all places are their toilet. Another basis is that cats can clean themselves. They wash their bodies by using their tongue spittle. Compared with cats, dogs can’t wash by themselves. My doggy, KK, always struggles to run away from me whenever I try to wash him.

A Life in High School and University in Korea.

How do you feel when you entered a school? Most high school students feel exciting or fear when they pass the examination to enter a university in Korea. They imagine a scene that they are studying and having ramble on campus. There are several qualities a life in high school and university has in common and difference.
To begin with, there are several similar parts between them. Both of them are a place as an education institution where teachers and students get together. During they study in there, they build strong character and prepare to go out into a society by undergoing trial and error. They go ahead and study to achieve their goal. Joining a club activity relieves stress and helps them adapting in society. And then they are sensitive of the latest fashion and want to express their own personality. One example, they dislike and feel shame when they wear the same clothes.
In the same way, there are a number of differences. The most different part is a school life. In high school of Korea, there is a homeroom teacher who manages and consults students. Students receive arranged class schedule and have to follow it. The right of choice exists hardly for them. They learn limited subjects by teachers and can’t decide their teacher and have to meet if they don’t like a teacher. Similarly, there is no freedom for them because they have to go to a school and study until arranged time. Also, they usually don’t move another classroom to take a class except experiment, music or art class. In addition, attendance for them is required by compulsion. In contrast, university students are more selective choice than high school students. There is a professor or academic advisor in a university, not teacher. If university students don’t want to see a professor, they don’t need to meet them. Moreover, they can plan their lecture schedule by individualized attention and decide subjects and professor that they like. Therefore, they move other class room to take a course. Also, attendance for them is optional, so their grade is sometimes influenced by attendance. Consequently, university students have more freedom than high school students in their life.
In culture, drinking an alcohol is illegal to high school students. Accordingly, they always should enjoy healthy cultures like seeing a movie in theater or singing in a singing room. But a few students are against the rules and want to play like university students because of they don’t want to be restricted from someone. Furthermore, due to their strong union, youth culture develops slang words that are assimilated into mainstream society. On the contrary, university students are able to drink an alcohol legally. They enjoy their culture as much as high school students. But a club activity in university is more various than in high school. Finally, university students have much more opportunity when they enjoy.
In goal, their ultimate purpose corresponds. They hope they live a better life like that earns a lot of money. But a goal in the near future difference. High school students want to succeed in the entrance examination to a university that they expected. Most students study CSAT, College Scholastic Ability Test, which must take to enter a university in Korea although there are students that don’t want to enter a university. Contrastively, university students want to get a job that they have had a dream. They prepare their entrance examination in various fields.
In conclusion, between high school students and university students exist common and different part. Although they have difference aspects in their life, culture, and goal, both of them live in now and try for their future.

#2 My Flight from Korea to Atlanta
I will never forget the time I had a flight from Korea to Atlanta. I had to come to Atlanta by myself because there was nobody with me. I also had to get a boarding pass for the connecting flight to Atlanta in Tokyo. I had to pass through customs because I had some beans, some sauce, and some sesame. Thus, I had four pieces of luggage, and they were pretty heavy, so I was worried about them. When I arrived at Narita airport in Tokyo, I could not find where the connection flight was and I did not know where I could get a boarding pass. Finally, I missed my way and wandered around the lounge. Unfortunately, only the middle seat was left when I found the counter. Eventually, I sat between two men for 14 hours. At last, I arrived at Atlanta, but it took 2 hours for entry into Atlanta. I passed the customs without any problems except for the situation that I had left my cell phone in the security place. However, I found my cell phone. In the end, I was able to meet my father’s friend. And I didn’t lose anything as well as make a friend who called Tony in the plane. I learned how the plane boards through my lonely flight. My family and I didn’t have to be nervous or worried. I did it by myself. My heart was full.
