Give up, or Overcome ? 

Have you ever been frustrated because of failed tests? When i was a high school student, I had to take part in composition to receive a prize to enter a classical music university. I was not familiar with that subject. Even though i started learning play the piano from eight years old, it was not easy to receive a prize. My hometown is very small island. So whenever i go to take part in composition to capital, or other cities, I had to take flights. So the more i take part in composition, the more my parents spent money for flight, or lesson fee. Before i entered the university, around 3months ago, I started taking part in composition.

 First time i went to other city with my mother, where is called "Chung-Ju", and we decided to stay there for two days and one night. Before i participated a contest, we made plan to look around the city, and eat delicious things after finish a result. Maybe mother and i were too excited. I believe we expected that i was going to receive a prize at the contest. Unfortunately, i couldn't get any prize. Mother told me that it was okay. it was first time to participate the contest, you can take other contest again. I didn't want her to know my feeling that i was so depressed, and disappointed. I tried to let it goes(result.) After a week, i had to take in composition again. The result was not good again. Ever since then, i remember i took several times more. At that time I was so frustrated. The reason why i felt like i was so stupid, and i just wanted to give up to get composition major. I can tell door was completely closed. My opportunity of entering the university was getting disappear. First of all, I was afraid about classical music. I resented everything. I thought that why did a god give me ordeal. :( I went through very hard time for three months. I was almost getting give up to enter the university which is i really wanted to. During that time, my mom always supported my, and trust me that i could do it. I really wanted to give up, but I didn't give up. I got lots of stress, but i couldn't give up easily. I tried to go through hard time, and finally i got a prize.  I could go to the university which is i really wanted to. At that time i didn't want to talk about this story because it's embarrassing ordeal, and i didn't want anybody to know, but i now can tell my embarrassing ordeal story.

I think both ordeal time, and luck time  come to everyone some day. We don't have to afraid. We can overcome whatever it is. I believe, the more you think worse way, the more situation gets worse. On the other hand, The more you think good way, the more situation gets good.
