There is a person who took care of me since I was born. He often
times fed meals to me and changed my clothes when I got dirty. He loved me so
much that the first thing that he asks to mother when he came back to school
was, “where is Jeewoong?” He was always right beside me, looking at my face,
touching my hand and feet. He is my brother, Eun Seuk, who took care of me for
seventeen years.
I have a dream that one day I will become like my older brother. I
always thought of the ways to be like my brother because he was the role model
of my life. My brother always took care of me, and did all the things that my
parents had to do. My mother use to say that, “You cannot find an older brother
who is better Eun Seuk.” Whenever I heard my mom told me this, I just laughed
and didn’t have much thought about what my mom said. I knew my brother was always
nice to me, but I thought it was just a usual thing that all other older brothers
do. However, when I was an elementary school student, I watched my brother
working hard in his room studying to prepare for high school entrance. He was
not only good at taking care of me but also great at his school works. At that
moment, I finally realized that my brother someone to admire as a role model of
my life.
My brother entered the University of Notredame and the picture below
is the last photo that I have taken with my brother before he left South Korea.
It is a meaningful picture to me because it was the latest picture that I took
with my brother, and it’s the picture of my brother who I admire the most. In
summer vacation, he stayed at home helping me prepare for the next semester and
advising me how I should think of the situation that I am facing right now. Although
he was busy preparing to return to school, he kept his attention on me, who he
loves the most.
I won’t be able to take another picture with my brother until May,
2014, but I will still have a picture of my brother in my heart. I often chat
with my brother and he still asks me how I am doing in my school. I always
thank my brother and remind to myself that I should become a person like my
brother. When I grow up, the first thing that I want to do is to take a trip
with him and talk about all the things that I have thanked him for. We might
smile looking at each other’s face while talking all the past events that was
memorable to me and my brother.
I miss my brother, and it is just sad that I can’t go to United
States right now. As always, I want to grow up like my brother and do the same
thing to him when I grow older. In my life, he is the MIP(Most Important
Person) in my life.
