Before I had been to U.S, I was a very normal child who was shy and waiting to be asked or greeted. After I came back from U.S, I step down one year as a sophomore in the middle school while my peers are juniors. I remembered the first day of reinstatement in Korean middle school. I sit at the very end of the row and stay silent and waiting for someone come and talk to me. I was anxious to tell them of my life in U.S. But nobody acted as I expect. I was new and one year older than classmates. So I tried to change myself as a self-confident and comfortable person who smiles all the time and joke a lot.
From that time, I always smile and tried to be showed as a person who is very easy to talk to. Now I’m twenty five and I realize that smile and wit and humor are one of the best tools to give a good impression. Look back on myself to determine whether I am successful, I think I was usually successful to portray myself as “cool guy”. However, the “cool guy” is not only “me”. I would be in a sad mood, or depressed. Some of my friends surprised if I’m in a bad mood and say “What happened to you, you do not look like you”. But that is “me” as well. Sometimes I feel like I’m wearing a smiling mask to disguise as a cool guy, but eventually I find out that every single mask inside me is just me.
