My family often went out on weekends. My father liked to took me and my brother with him. So we went many beautiful places in Korea. One day, we went to Hwawang mountain. It was too hight that we have to walk about 10kilometers to reach the top. My family ready for water and some snacks, then start to climb the mountain. I have the least body strength in my family. So only after walking about 3kilometers I almost used up my whole strength. I plumped down on the ground. I felt like I can not go anymore. My father gave me water. Though I drank water, I can not stand up. My hip stuck on the ground. Father made me stand forcibly. I do not want to walk anymore so I slobbered to my father. "Father, I can not go anymore. Why don't we go down?" Father soothed me and grab my hand. I inevitably climb that mountain. I was very annoying that time because my legs were twinged, moreover, I did not have any energy to move. That I complained endlessly. Suddenly my father said, " Mountain is like a life. As there are both downhill and uphill roads on mountain, your life also have good and hard time. When you face hard time in your life, will you complain and go down like now? Throw away all your complaint and see around. Isn't it beautiful?" Then I could see colorful flowers , high trees and hear bird's cute singing. I could feel the fresh air surrounding me. Complaints in my mind had covered my eyes, ears and skin. My father always helps me to catch little things that I can easily ignore. Father takes me mountains every Sunday that I can get power to fight against hard times. I learned about life from mountains and my father's saying. Moreover, when I get stress, he plays with me. Like friends we go PC room, garaoke or eat delicious foods. Sometimes, against angry mother, we ally with each other. For me, father has more meaning than just my father. He is my best friend, only person who I can save whole my secret, a great teacher who taught me what is life and strong super hero.
