The Red Tree

"Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow." Albert Einstein

In ESL class, we read a book called "The Red Tree". This book was about our depressing life. In this book, there is a girl who has her own red tree. However, it was not as same as the normal tree. There was only one black leaf in her room. It made her very depressed. She always failed whenever she was trying to do something. Sometimes, she was totally ignored as though she was invisible person. Whenever, she didn't succeed of achieving her goal, her room was covered with the black leaves. One day, when she came back home hopelessly, she found the red tree which represents 'hope'.

After reading this story, I was impressed. I strongly agreed with this story because sometimes, i feel like I am being ignored by someone. There is a lot of sad things happen in my life also. When that happens, I am always frustrated and don't know what to do. Therefore, I found my red tree to make me feel better.

My red tree is Korea. This is because Korea is my homecountry. After coming to Malaysia, I realized that Korea really did comfort me. Whenever I was in Korea, I felt that I am free like a flying bird and I felt really comfortable. Also, I could buy anything I wanted in Korea. I am really missing Korea.
