Dear Crutches,

Dear Crutches,

     Although it is the first time to meet you, I have already seen your little brother. When I sprained my ankle badly by stepping on my friend’s foot, I thought I would be depending on many others’ help; however, you were there for me like a student doing a volunteer work. Similarly, I hurt my knees when I was a six grader, and I lean on your brother who was slight cuter than you. Frankly speaking, after a brief look at you for a few seconds when you were walking beside the doctor, I was depressed by the fact that I will be carrying those looking stupid metal sticks again. I sincerely apologize for my first impression on you and I never have thought that you will be so helpful to my school life.

     At 7 AM, the time when my alarm clock and phone alarm simultaneously ring, I simultaneously find you first, who has been shining all night to wait for me to wake up. I feel comfortable when I lean on the shining metal stick that leads my way to the school kitchen. I can never move freely without you, and I am just thankful that you handle the weight of mine. Thanks to the fat that I have gained over 6 years, many couldn’t bear the gravitational force that I gave to them. Even though you were born in China, you are pretty strong and distinguishing among other Chinese friends that you probably have.

Today, I am sorry to you again because I made you feel uncomfortable when I allowed my friends to use you in order to have fun. You might have lost your break time due to my friends and feel tired when I depend on you. I would like you to understand the characteristics of my friends and the atmosphere that I live in. I will promise I will try to keep my friends away from you and try to be always beside you so that we can have our private times. Plus, it can be a good news or a bad news, but your little brother is helping my mom for the same reason as mine. I told my mom to treat your little brother carefully because he is not matured enough. So don’t worry about your little brother and I will keep in touch with your brother so that nothing bad happens

    

It has been almost a week to be a close friend with you. We still have more than 3 weeks to move together, study together, and even eat together. Our separation after 3 weeks will be too sad, and I will never forget your sufferings and responsibility as crutches. I might be leaning on you again when I get injured once more. Please be there for me when I need your help. I hope you don’t feel exhausted but rather enjoy the time with me. Thanks for your effort and your family members as a whole.

Have a good night sleep,

Your new best friend Jee Woong
