The 9days' schedule started like that.. And we mixed with many foreign college students experienced many things together. We took a walking lessen from the one of the most popular super models "Wilma" in the Philippines, it was to prepare for the pageant, and we performed our presentation of talent in front of the 15 thousand of people. I showed the Korean traditional dance called "Sang-mo" which was prepared for the pageant for over a month in Korea. When my performance was finished in a big applause, I was so proud that I could be standing there as a proud Korean young man.

 One day, we did the volunteer work in a slum area Baseco in Manila building houses for the poor who had no house. We worked together, helping each other. During the volunteer working, under the terribly sultry sun rays and in an unexpected rain.. in spite of the fact that it's the first time for us to do the such kind of laborious work like moving the heavy bricks and mixing cement with sand, we never lost the vigor and our smiles because we were already prepared with the beautiful resoluted mind in us which helped us to understand that how valuable it was to live for others who needed our help.
 And what was marvelous was the people in Baseco always kept their bright smiles, in spite of all the hard lives of them. Looking at their brilliant smile, I could understand that even if they were so poor physically, they lived wealthier in their mental life than us. Then I gave them an applause in my mind, who never lost their smiles..

 After we worked hard and came back to the hotel, we encouraged each other for doing good job from the bottom of our heart. Though at start, we felt somewhat unfamiliar to each other. But as time went on, we talked with one another much and got more and more familiar. So unnoticingly, we called one another as "brother or sister" not "Friend" anymore..

After the Pageant..

 After I came back to Korea, many people told me words of comfort because they felt sorry for my not being chosen as Mister University International. But for me, it was not so important thing anymore. I think it may be the same for all of other friends.  
there...

 After the last two world delegates were announced, we all participants were pleased and congratulated two persons from the deep bottom of our heart upon their success in the pageant. And we also gave the big praise for ourselves for trying our best in preparing for this pageant. We all together took hearted delight and celebrated our victory as if we ourselves were chosen as the world delegate.

 I could got so many precious experiences which were not to be bought with money. I experienced something that people can never get, I made so many friends who represent their countries, I realized what is the most important value in our life, that's just the beautiful loving mind for each other..
 I think that most of korean students invest all of their time only for their future and are very busy getting the purpose only. Frankly speaking, I was not the exception, of course. But I came to realize that there are so many people who need the help of the one like me and how fruitful and valuable it is to live for the poor people. For that reason, the plan of my future life is changed a lot. Not merely living for my own self and not making my future plan, I wanna make my life more meaningful by helping others and sharing the life "together"..
I wish all of the young people who would take up the duty for their country could understand what is the most valuable thing in their college life.. And I also pray for someday when all the people of the world would make the "one global family".       

 For the conclusion, I wanna finish this writing by giving thanks to all the staffs who never avoided the trouble, and to all of my friends who shared much time together with me, and especially to God who always allows all of these things to me.
