Today, I went to my high school alumni association. My high school was a girls high school, so we always have a meeting with another boys high school alumni association. It is kind of general because there are not so many girls and boys high schools in Korea. I'm already senior so it is not necessary to go there, but I decided to go because I am an ex- president of the alumni association. It has been a year since I went there the last time. So, I was a little bit excited to go there again. I imagined how people had been changed and how they had spent one year well while I was in the United States.
However, it was a bit different from my expectation. There were so many young students who are like freshmen and sophomores and whom I don't know. My friend who is one year younger than me told me that she was the oldest girl in the association in the last meeting because many seniors didn't come. I finally realized that I became an old university student. When I first joined the association, I was a sophomore and everyone looked so matured. It seemed like I was never able to hang out with them. But, now I became the one who is called one of the oldest member of the association.
I don't feel sad about this. I just was surprised about this changing generation situation even though Univerisity life is just 4 years. But, I feel sorry that I couldn't see many people that I have known in that place because many of them are busy with their job-hunting and preparing a graduation.
