With spending a year; It’s been a month since New Year’s Day by the solar calendar and it’s going to be New Year’s Day by the lunar calendar. Accordingly it’s already the 2003 by the solar calendar but until now we are living in the 2002 by the lunar calendar. I’m thinking about last the 2002 and make plan for this New Year coming. I think last year was specially emotional and thoughtful for me. First, my age was 60 year-old in last year. Second, it’s been 25 years since I immigrated to Canada. I ever told about my three hopes through this reader’s column on last New Year’s Day. Those hopes were writing book, my son’s marriage and Korean Association without debit. Although I regret that I have nothing to accomplish the hopes until end of this year, I can say that it was wonderful and emotional year for me. First of all, it was the garden of Korean Association that was full with beauty. Even if it was managed by me who don’t have experience and knowledge about gardening, it was getting in full blossom and beautiful so that I couldn’t skip to see it even for one day. I have also spent worthwhile time. I was participated in sale Korean candy at the Caravan Festival and did a masked dance in a costume parade on Easter Day. I helped to manage parking and guide visitor to Korean Hall during the World Cup Soccer Series and again sold Korean candy at the Korean’s Day Festival. When around my shop was flooded, I got rid of the obstacle that was cause of the flood and then it was getting back to normal immediately. At that time I was so pleased and satisfied to what I’d done. What a worthwhile and wonderful year! I can also say that it was honorable year for me. I was selected the one of 100 Koreans in the year and then awarded the Korean Prize. I never forget the moment that was the best moment in my life when I was interviewed at radio and newspaper. I met important guests from Munhwa Broadcasting Station, Korea after my awarding the Korean Prize. They came to pick up my life story and got my photograph taken for 3 days. The story was telecasted at the Photo essay program from January 21st to January 22nd and now I can see the program through Internet at anywhere and anytime. It makes me so happy and honorable. In addition these, I did an important thing in last year. It was a learning computer. Now I can use computer and Internet as well. What a miraculous and exciting thing! I think last year was really beautiful, worthwhile and honorable for me. It’s not exaggeration that it was the best year in my life. I will go on continuingly and do my best in everything. I’m going to make my homepage on the Internet, so that it can make anybody read my essay and news, listen to radio, watch VOD, have time of meditation and so on…. I’m so happy and exciting right now for these reasons. Thank you very much for helping me these days and happy New Year!
