5. Obsolete any outcome
Even
though there are many different definitions of success in the dictionary, but
for me, success is simply when I accomplish something I wanted to accomplish. For
example, from when I was in 8th grade, I wanted to make an album of
my photos and my family’s photos for my mom and dad’s birthday. I bought an
album in the summer of eighth grade but I had no time to finish it until I was
in tenth grade I finally finished it and gave it to my mom. I worked on the
album every time I had extra time and also on weekends. I also had to wait
until I went to Korea again because I had to get baby photos of my family from
when my brother and I were young. I had to go to both of my grandma’s house to
gather photos so I finished about one fourth of the album when I was in ninth
grade. After I got those photos, I started to work on the album. I put A WHOLE
LOT OF EFFORT into the album and when I finally finished it I felt SO
ACCOMPLISHED and successful! This was one time I felt successful. When I gave
the album to my mom, my brother told me that I just made that because I did not
want to use money to buy my mom something expensive. I was MAD because I always
had the idea to buy my mom something and my brother always just told me lets
half the price to pay for something expensive. I made the album because I
wanted to make something memorable for my mom and something she could keep.
Also when I grow older, my mom could see the album and remember that I made
that for her when I was a sophomore. I told my brother that MY ALBUM IS WAY
MORE MEANINGFUL than anything in the world! I felt really relieved and
successful because I was one step ahead of my brother towards my mom. I also
wanted my brother to make something meaningful like that for my mom and dad. By
seeing what I made, I wanted my brother to also make something so that my mom
and dad would be SUPER HAPPY. Other times I felt successful was when I scored
in sport games like in a basketball game or soccer game or during a volleyball
game. I feel happy when I score and accomplish my goal. Even though while
playing in a team I get tired and want to stop running, after the game when my
team wins, everything I did feels right and I feel like I accomplished
something. Everyone in the world feels successful in many different ways. When
someone defines success, they say the definition in their own way. I also feel
successful when I get good grades. When I get a bad grade I feel unsuccessful
and stressed and for the whole day my mood is down to the floor but when I get
a good grade I become happy.
