I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the republic of Korea and to the free and righteous nation's glory with full loyalty.
Also, before reaching the school, I could see the marchings. All students and teachers who were wearing the uniforms were marching along the road as blowing the flag! It was very impressed me because in Korea, I could see the marching only on TV. These all were really nice. To me, it was new Independence Day.
But, in this ceremony, we , I could think and learn their mind and spirit to celebrate their Independence Day! This is really good mind which we have to take. Own country is important for the public. In fact, in Korea, like this public holiday, is just holiday for the most of people. They, including me, just take the rest and enjoy "The holiday". 'When we were young, around 1970-80, we respected our country and we had to be faithful to our country, even though we had forced it to respect. That was an important thing to do which we should do. But, now Age,generation are changing and the habit, customs of people are changed by developing, individualism, and materialism. Now, we must learn this posture. Look, these two country has the same special day but each are doing differently so much!!' my parents said. I really agreed about it. Now, we can think about one thing. Own country is very cherish for its own people. But, most of the people don't aware of this important truth. In my case, I'm living in India which is not my fatherland. I think that's why I could think more about this. We have to thank for own country. We have own country, We have own mothertongue, We have our National Anthem, and so on. If we don't have fatherland, we do have nothing as the base. Nation is a base of people.
Every times, comparing India to Korea is inevitable but by doing this, I'm getting wider thinking and real open-mind and the power of think to other society in various ways. Afterwords, for me, there will be so many things to think and compare. I really look forward to face those, really...
