Undergraduate / Anime (My essay to u-m) [15]
I write a new one, entirely different.May be it will be better.
I always been a person don't want to be outdone, but something always go athwart with me. Whatever I do, there are always other child get ahead of me. What is worse, I even used to make excuse to pretend myself in no qualm. That really made me could kick myself.
I chose to practice the taekwondo in the summer holiday after I graduated from the junior middle school. Taekwondo is a sport of endurance testing and will-power building. It brings what I needed - the perseverance.
I didn't take it seriously at the first two days, because we only learned easy etiquette and preparing style. From the third day on, however, it became hard when Coach King began to teach us Taegeuk 2 Jang. Coach King taught in details, and required us to follow every step he did. It was at that time that I had a profound understanding of what is easier said than done. "...Left hand does lower section block. Then, forward step and straight box..." In the front, Couch King taught clearly and logically, and in the rear, students did farcically and awkwardly, but everybody dare not laugh because Couch King has such a short temper that he often sternly scolded those who made wrong movements. I was once scolded, too: "What were you thinking? Who taught you this stupid position? Er?" Then he helped me to put my hands in the correct way, which made me broke into a cold sweat. I was put into a mess from that time. The course went on before I could swallowed what had been taught, but what's more, there was a new intense physical training later: in-situ rapidly turn 15 laps and then sprint forward. As a result, I clashed into the middle pillar for twice. I could even saw stars. It was merely the Hell to me. I could not stand it any more. I did not want to continue it even one minute!
When I stepped downstairs after the training, I saw a billboard of Spirits of Taekwondo. It reads: The Spirits of Taekwondo is to know the etiquette and sense of shame, to be patient, self-control and indomitable. I suddenly cleared about something...
The fourth day, I practiced hard in and out of class. Eventually I could exercise the Taeguk 2 Jang in a perfect way!
I learned, from the experience of practicing Taekwondo, that I could be an adamancy and indomitable person. No matter how hard the training is; no matter how strict Coach King is; no matter how derisible my practice movements are, I will press on; get rid of that cowardly, indecisive past, to be myself.
I also realize, now, that it doesn't matter how difficult the future will be; the only important thing is that I ought to carry on making my dream come true. As long as there is a dream, I will march forward without hesitation. I will go for Computer Science in the University of Michigan to come true my dream - to be a wonderful Computer Graphic designer and to bring movement to people with CG animation.
