< HUFS, the fruits of my efforts >
'Hoping for all of you to enter HUFS', the banner put on a main gate welcomed me. A great many students from high schools of all over the country were walking into campus. Their facial expressions were various enough to catch my eyes. Some students had an obvious nervous look and some students had an exciting look. Having feeling of not only tension but also excitement, I was walking into HUFS with my parents. Also, just the thought of interview made my heart flutter.
My parents were encouraging me by smiling. Because I had been preparing for expected questions from an admission officer and professor all the night before, shadow of exhaustion had casted over my face. I was supposed to meet interviewers in the afternoon. My courage began to wear thin as the time to meet interviewers drew near.
When I was waiting for my turn to interview in the classroom, I recalled the moments that I had practiced in high school with my teacher. Most of students in same class with me practiced and memorized their own letter of self-introduction. After a long wait, finally my name was called by professor. I followed him and knocked three times before entering the room for interview. The room was similar with classroom of my high school. Room size was smaller than I thought. There were three interviewers and they tried to make me relaxed. First question was about the reason why I applied for EICC. Because I had thought the curriculum of EICC help me to become a diplomat, which is my future dream, I spoke of my aspiration about it. Then, interviewers asked me to tell some experiences related to grammar. This question was unexpected one. An embarrassment might flash across my face. However, I was proficient at repartee. I had recalled the experience when I studied for midterm exam of high school quickly and told difficulties to use a participial construction.
"Lastly, is there anything else you would like to add before we wrap things up?" an admission officer sat on the middle of seat asked to me.
"Like the slogan of Hankuk University of Foreign Languages, 'Come to HUFS, Meet the World', if I entered the HUFS, you could meet the future of EICC." I answered with all my heart to show my passion to apply for EICC. Now, I am taking the class as a sophomore of EICC in HUFS.
Looking backward, certificate of acceptance was the present of my hard work, but this experience makes me realize the importance of my family. My parents searched everything about entrance of university all night long and attended a prayer meeting every weekend just for their daughter. It taught me the value of showing appreciation as well. If there's no encouragement or support by my family, I couldn't take a firm stand. Thus, I became to express my loving heart for my parents frequently.

Now, I am taking the class as a sophomore of EICC in HUFS with the result that I showed the veracity of my heart.
During the high school days, I was usually negative student and always worried about everything, however, when I confirmed the interview results, my life was totally changed. I have emerged from being a passive student into confident speaker in front of many different audiences through this experience. Compared to the past, I live my life with more confidence and passion because it taught me that if I make an effort, knowing the value of hard work, there’s nothing impossible for me to achieve.
