It’s my first day in Seoul University. I just moved in from Daegu to continue my studies here in Seoul. My parent’s dream for me was to be a doctor. I always wanted to fulfill their wishes but it’s just not my specialty. It’s not like I hate Sciences, I don’t love it either. I’m just not good at it. As much as I didn’t want to disappoint them, I had to. Our family is also having financial problems. Getting a medical course isn’t a joke, it’s very expensive. Truthfully, we can’t even afford half of the first semester’s tuition fee.

My father is working as a mechanic in a not so famous junk shop in Daegu. His earnings are just enough to pay for our monthly rent and electric bills. On his counterpart, my mother owns a small eatery across our little house, earning enough money to fulfill our daily needs. I also have a little brother who’s in his 3^rd grade. He’s very jolly, at the same time, thoughtful. Even in his young age, he knows how to take care of our parents. Thank God, we have him. They have someone to take over my place while I’m temporarily gone.
