Epilogue

The class bell is ringing, I grab the book and rush into the classroom. Children are sitting in the group, as they see me, they smile at me. To see these children's pure smiling is the happiest thing for me everyday. This is the fifth year from I graduated from college, I don't obey my sister, I became an elementary school teacher and work at Mr. Bennett's children's school. Whenever I remember this, still feel guilty to my sister, I know I should choose to be a what kind of person by myself and now I don't think I'm doing wrong things. But Korean culture influenced me too much, I can't completely forget it. 

As soon as I graduated, I went back to Korea for one time, my little brother has grown up, my older brothers are busy working, my sister is working as a nun. We hugged together, I sobed even can't say anything. I know what to say, I have missed them so much after all I couldn't  see any of them in the whole four college years. My sister is so relieved that I came back, she told a lot about the nun work. I breathed deeply and said:"Theresa, I know to be a nun is the best thing for you. But I just think it's not for me. In these four years, I have thought a lot about the future. It changed my mind. I'm sorry I don't obey you, but I think being a teacher is better for me." My sister starred at me and was silent for a long time. She sighed:"I know something changed you a lot in America. If you had decision, just do it. I can't control you now, but I hope you are not swepped by the American culture." I know my sister was angry with me, "No, I'm not. I won't forget anything about Korea." She didnt respond and leaf tthe room.

After I came back from Korea, I went to Greece with Marci. Greece is such a beautiful and mysterious country. Marci took many pictures. In these five years, Marci tried to accept her parents. I sometimes went to Ellen's home, she has got married with Kyle. Ellen always tell me to find a nice boyfriend. This reminded me Tom. In the whole four years, he has ever invited me for many times to go out, but I have too much work to do. Sometimes I, Ellen, Kyle and Tom go out side together, I would more like to regard Tom as a nice friend. Ellen always complained this, she think we should be a nice couple.
