This I Believe

A BIRTHDAY

Christina RossettiMy

heart is like a singing bird

Whose nest is in a water'd shoot;

My heart is like an apple-tree

Whose boughs are bent with thick-set fruit;

My heart is like a rainbow shell

That paddles in a halcyon sea;

My heart is gladder than all these,

Because my love is come to me.

Raise me a daïs of silk and down;

Hang it with vair and purple dyes;

Carve it in doves and pomegranates,

And peacocks with a hundred eyes;

Work it in gold and silver grapes,

In leaves and silver fleurs-de-lys;

Because the birthday of my life Is come,

my love is come to me.

This poem is one of the famous poem and I found it by searching just a famous poem. I got this poem and I read it, it was not that hard to understand. In poem, there are lots of phrase that I really do not understand what it saying or what its meaning. The narrator wrote that his heart is gladder than all the phrases that he said, because his love is come to him. It means like the narrator is waiting for his love really long time, and missing his love. This poem is about a man who waited his love for long time, and when his birthday come, this love comes too. I liked this poem, and it impressed me too.

My Favorite Book

My favorite book is "Sherlock Holmes". It is the one that i finishd in not even one day, like 2hours and usually I do not really read the book and I am not really familiar with books. However when I started to read this book I cannot stop it so I finished it by 2hours. I realized while I was reading this book that I interested in some kind of stories like police, investigative things like that. For that kinds of books, the more I read the story over and over, it gets more interesting.

The stories in the book were very interesting and it is a fiction. Sherlock Holmes is very smart character in the book and solve everything step by step, and it was very interesting. If I finish one chapter, the curiosity of the next story and the result of the problems that came at the chapter that I read before made me read over and over again. In the story, Sherlock Holmes think much more than other people, and I think that makes Sherlock Holmes wiser and smart. So I learned that if I think more, I can have a wiser, better idea.

It was really interesting book and I was trying to find another series of book of Sherlock Holmes but I could not find. I read the book not only once but like 3~5times. I am also looking for the movie, but this year on December, the movie of Sherlock Holmes is upcoming!

This I Believe

I believe that doing what I want is the most important thing in my life. When I was young, I used to think that I can bear again even though I died. However, that was just my ridiculous thought. As I grew up, I learned that life is given only once. I, one who likes to be special, need to do something different from what everyone else is doing. I usually like to have my own things that only I can have it.
Going to school and academy, doing plenty homework, or school work and having tutors are the stuffs that most students do. Being crazy about grade, bribing to get higher grades, and being inhuman in front of any goods are current things. My father told me that he felt very poor when he saw some students who go back to their home at very late time from academies. I do not want to spend my valuable days doing all sorts of things which everyone is doing. I don’t like the Korean philosophy that studying is the only way to survive. There should be something more special and more interesting things in my life.
Most adults told me that they regret not doing what they wanted to do in their youth. Every time when my parents scolded me, they told me that I should try other things which are new to me. They always tell me to challenge, challenge, and challenge again; my parents support me very strongly in my endeavor to try new things. Before I change my defect to merit, I thought my obstinacy was the most hateful thing that I have among my personalities. Because I am kind of obstinacy person, if I cannot do what I interested in or what I have to do, I feel kind of unclear. Also, when I make my new friends, I conclude my thoughts by knowing how much similarities he/she and I have. So we can do the stuffs that we are interested in. I relieve my tiredness and stresses while I am doing what I like. I want my life to be free.
