우울증 극복 에세이
내가 우울증을 극복하는데 크게 도움을 준 선생님들이 있다. 원어민 선생님들인데 한 분은 학교 선생님이셨고, 한 분은 온라인 강사셨다. 학교 선생님은 캐나다 분이셨고, 강사님은 미국분이셨다. 학교 선생님께선 어느날 갑자기 학교를 떠나게 되셨다. 아마 임기가 다 되셨거나 다른 사정이 있겠지. 내가 우울했을때 이 선생님의 수업을 기반으로 다시 일어났었다. 그리고 강사님은 내가 꿈에 대한 얘기를 하자 깊은 관심을 보이시며 자신의 딸에 대한 얘기를 해주셨다. 나는 그 분들을 위한 편지를 썼다. 결국에는 전하지 못했지만. 솔직히 이건 편지가 아니라 일기에 가깝다. 하지만 내가 그분들께 하고 싶은 말은 다 들어가 있다.
Teacher Rachel
I love my foreign teachers. Miss Rachel was my school english teacher, and Mrs. Mia was my onlie tutor. Miss Rachel left this year leaving a candy. Feels like I lost a good friend. Every Wednsday at lunch break, I went to find her to chat. I met her at school, and also at the bus station. And sometimes, when I walked home, we had the same path. I enjoyed her class very much. After all, I guess she helped me a lot unknowingly. I remember she gave me handy feedbacks about writing the school english news paper. She praised my ariticle and corrected the sentences by heart. We talked about the subject of my article, which is about korean history. She told me she also learned a lot from me. In class, she taught us about western cultures especially america, About Christmas, Hallowin, food culture and so on. It was so much fun to learn the details we didn't know. I once registered an english presentation, I put my team name 'The roly poly optimist' even though I was the only one in my team. She liked my team name eventually. I will never forget teacher Rachel.
Teacher Mia
Mrs. Mia, well...I met her today, but I have a strong feeling that she is going to be one of my favorite online tutor in my whole life. We had a lot in common. She encouraged me to keep on working to become a writer which is my future dream. She told me give it a try because life is once. She told me she saw passion and possibility from me though I only met her today. I think she is amazing. She fought cancer 5times and didn't cried once. She is optimistic with resonable thoughts. She promised me to teach me some american phrases and expressions when I see her again. After the class, I told my mom I want to book her class again. It was such a pleasure to meet her. Such a short time, I felt like I was enlightened.
