Narrative Essay

Jieun Jung


On Saturday, October 24th, 2009, I went to Seoul with my friends for a university visit. At night, I had laid awake thinking of the next day's events on the train. My friends had a dream. They want to succeed in matriculating at a college in Seoul. Seoul University, Korea University, Hankuk University of Foreign Studies....

Finally, we arrived in Yongsan station. After that, we arrived in front of a subway station, thanks to my friend's uncle.

First, we went to Seoul University, Seoul's flower. Around the Seoul University station, many students were waiting for the school bus, despite it being the weekend. At last, we arrived in Seoul University. I was excited that I actually saw Seoul University's logo. In Seoul University, many middle school students came to visit. Seoul University's inside was not what I expected. I thought Seoul University would be small. Because of the large inside, we went to the place that we wanted to go.

The second place was Korea University. This university was my goal. Korea University is known for its beautiful campus. So my anticipation was large. Korea University's campus was really beautiful. It was just like Britain's school. I stood in front of building that I hope to go. I envied the students coming in and out the building.

The next place was Hankuk University of Foreign Studies. I thought there would be many foreigners because it's the university of foreign studies. But I didn't see foreigners.

After visiting in many places, we had plenty of time. So we decided to go to Kyungbok palace. We were divided into two groups. Each group saw beautiful buildings, sights, pond, and so on. All I saw was wonderful. I knew the reason why foreigners visit Kyungbok palace.

This traveling gave me many lessons. I knew korean culture, and I braced myself for my goals. Until now, I gave up my task before it was achieved. But from now on, I will never give up until I have achieved my goals. In any case, I will do my best to become Chungang University's student.
