As 2023 draws to a close, I reflect on the rollercoaster of emotions that defined this crucial year. Turning 20 was a huge milestone for me, and looking back, I’m glad to say that I not only survived but also accomplished personal goals.
The first half of the year was a tumultuous ride filled with unanticipated obstacles that tried my fortitude. However, as the year progressed, I made a concerted attempt to improve my situation. Embracing possibilities and moving beyond of my comfort zone were guiding principles for me, leading me to realize a long-held dream: I won second place in Hanyang University’s singing competition. The excitement of playing in front of an audience was a memorable moment.

Despite the difficulties, the latter half of the year saw good changes. By venturing outside of Seoul, I made new acquaintances, encountered new people, and extended my perspectives. Exploring different landscapes gave me new insights and admiration.
As I bid farewell to 2023, I anxiously await the new year. Lessons learned, friendships forged, and personal accomplishments recognized all pave the way for a bright future. With thanks for the possibilities and growth, I am ready to finish this chapter and look forward to the next year.
