My Height

By Choo Da Ye


I am short compared with my friends. It is hard to find a person who is shorter than me in my grade. So, I have many episodes about my height. The episode which I will never forget happened when I was 16 years old.

One day, l walked on the street alone to go to home. At that time, I didn't wear my middle school uniform because it was Sunday. Suddenly, three girls who looked like strangers approached me and asked a question.

"Hey, girl. What elementary school do you go to?"

The moment that I heard what she had said, I was very shocked, because they looked younger than me! The girls looked like a student who is only first or second grade in middle school.

I said, "I am not a elementary school student.", bluntly, and then, they were surprised and doubtful. One of them said, "That is, you're a middle school student?", but I didn't reply and walked on my way because I was displeased. While going home, I thought about my short height. At first, I really hated my height and I often wondered why I am too short. But, after some time, I realized that I could experience such a special event because of my short height. No one that is taller than me can experience events like me!

Now, I think my height as not as a physical defect but as a special strong point. Although sometimes I feel sad and discouraged because of my height, I love my short height which gives special experiences for me!
