image text translation

(1)Seoul National University Bamboo Forest 4 hours 3 hours
(2)I literally grew up in a very poor family
(3)My mom, who works at a restaurant, and I spent my middle and high school years in a semi-basement room with a floor space of about 6 pyeong
(4)She worked more than ten hours a day and made money from living expenses
(5)I think it was the hardest time when I applied for early admission. I applied to only two universities, shaking my hands at the more expensive application fee than I thought I didn’t have money to pay for my application right away, so I was able to apply for two universities with 100,000 won given by my homeroom teacher who knows my family’s situation
(6)Luckily, I got a chance to have an interview at Seoul National University My mom was happy with tears, and she gave me 50,000 won for the car Unfortunately, she couldn’t keep up because of her busy restaurant work
(7)Since I lived in the countryside, I bought a round trip bus ticket and went up to Seoul with the remaining 15,000 won Since it was a morning interview, I decided to go up the previous afternoon and take the subway to Seoul National University, sleep in the jjimjilbang, and go to school
(8)I arrived in Seoul for the first time in my life, but the money disappeared I looked through my bag and checked my pockets for an hour, but I couldn’t see the money
(9)I was sitting in the waiting room crying, and then I came to my senses and started walkingWhen I asked how to get to Seoul National University from the terminal, everyone was dumbfounded, but I walked in the direction you roughly told me I walked for 2-3 hours. I was so cold, hungry, thirsty, and tired
(10)After 11 p.m., I was crying on a bench in front of an unknown apartment building, and a security man approached me
(11)He asked me what was going on and I barely told him what was going on He was surprised and took me to the night room. He cooked ramen for me and said he wouldn’t mind sleeping a day or so, so he’d sleep here and give me a ride when he gets off work tomorrow morning
(12)When he took off his shirt in the car, he told me to wear this because his clothes were too tacky, and I said I couldn’t answer because I was sorry, so he wrote down his phone number and told me to get into college and bring my clothes to him later, and he gave me 10,000 won to pay for the car when I got to the terminal
(13)I was able to get an interview thanks to him and I got accepted to Seoul National UniversityWhen the successful candidate was announced, I called my mom’s restaurant first, and then I called him He was so happy like his job and asked me to come up and have a meal later
(14)Life in Seoul wasn’t as easy as I thought. It was more expensive than I thought and there were limitations in tutoring and part-time jobs
(15)I saved 500,000 won and bought a suit that I had my eye on after the first semester I met you in seven months and gave you a nice suit I returned the shirt, but I really wanted to give you a nice suit that fits it Fortunately, you kept saying no, but in the end, you really liked it
(16)It’s the day I spent the biggest amount of money in my life, but I was really happy that day
