Eight years old little boy was playing guitar, watching rock concert on tv. That was the one thing that I daily did. As soon as I came back from school, I grabbed my guitar without a hesitation, played it while watching video tapes which i recorded other guitarists play. Although there was no stage for me to show my performance at that time, I didn’t stop my guitar practice. When I became twelve, I participated in the talent competiton in my city. I was the youngest participant at that time. This was shocking since at that time in South Korea, no children event attempted to participate in such contest. Although I was youngest, I won 3rd prize for my great potential. After that I played guitar on street-performances no matter what. Nothing stopped me from playing guitar wherever I go. I was so happy that I can play guitar and can show to other people. Like that I became 17 and stood at a crossroads. I only had two choices: play guitar or study as most of my friends did. My choice was study because I realized that I couldn’t be a great guitarist. I took a entrance test of private highschool and got admitted. After I graduated from my highschool, I got into UCLA. Sometimes I regret about my decision of not choosing the way to become a professional guitarist. I think my reckness of passion made me to abandon my dream to be a guitarist. Without passion, people can't be anything. When I was young, my passion in playing guitar never behinded to someone else. Indeed, I always thanked myself for playing guitar, which I extremely enjoyed the most without any specific reason. I loved every moment when I played guitar, and my guitar skills improved rapidly day by day. These days, I really want to get that passion back. Although my guitar never forgive me about my betrayal action, I want to apologize to my guitar and want to play him again. I finally realized that I’m nothing without music and guitar. So I considered that although I can’t be a professional guitarist in this life, I can be a good amatuer guitarist. Playing guitar can’t be my prior job, but it can be my prime hobby. Because I grabbed my guitar and reunited with music again, my life became full of passion and joy. Playing guitar is the reason why I lived, why I live and why I will live.
