Chapter 5 From child king to adolescent girl

When I was in elementary school, I especially loved reading historical novels about war. Every time I read Alexandre Dumas, I was always nervous and excited, and the number of times I read it was countless.The loyalty shown by the swordsmen, especially the Three Musketeers who risked their lives for justice and the courageous d'Artagnan, their stories filled me with excitement, and I still remember them vividly. My father seemed to like my reading taste very much. One day he handed me a copy of "Three Kingdoms" and said to me: "This book may be a bit difficult, but I think you will like it." After the "Three Kingdoms", I seemed to have encountered a whole new world, even in class, I wanted to rush home to read this book.As I became more and more addicted to the book, I naturally began to like several characters.I especially admire Zhao Yun. Looking back now, I even wonder if my first love is Zhao Yun, because every time he appears, I will unconsciously bump into him.

"Gunhye, which character in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" do you like the most?" When my father asked me this question one day, I replied without hesitation: "Zhao Yun." Reading preferences like this are also directly reflected in play.When I was addicted to "Three Kingdoms", I often played mischievously with my friends using branches as swords. When I lived in Sindang-dong, I often played games such as throwing sandbags, picking up stones, jumping rubber bands, and hide-and-seek with friends in the community. At that time, I was very competitive, so I went all out every time.In order to become the champion of picking up stones, he and Geunling would practice at home in advance, and even in order to last until the end when jumping the rubber band, he would dance until his entire cheeks were flushed.At that time, as long as you were good at playing the three games of throwing sandbags, picking up stones, and jumping rubber bands, you could become the king of the kids in the community, and I definitely had such qualifications at that time.

Such an active and mischievous character only became peaceful after moving into the Blue House.When I was in the first grade of Sacred Heart Girls' High School, I lived in the school dormitory for a year, and learned to observe discipline and get along with others naturally.By sharing good books with friends, I also got rid of the habit of partial reading in the past, and then came into contact with various books, and the depth of thinking became different.But the key factor that transformed me from a mischievous ghost to a steady girl was my mother's strict requirements and education on our words and deeds after my father became president.

Although the usual mother is very kind, once the children make mistakes, they will be merciless.She always emphasizes the sense of responsibility and prudence. Pretending to be sick and acting like a baby are useless to her. Even if it is a very small mistake, as long as we don't sincerely admit it, she will scold us severely. Thinking back now, my mother was really an amazing teacher. Even if I was dissatisfied, my mother, Jinling and Zhiwan were easily persuaded by her.Mother's fair and unwavering consistency principle enables us to have a clear understanding and distinction between right and wrong and black and white.

"It doesn't matter whether your grades are good or bad, the important thing is to have integrity in every moment." My mother's will and belief in character education are very firm. Thanks to her education for us when we were young, we got the most precious asset in life - caring.Caring for people is actually etiquette for people. Mother would not easily allow us to use the valuable stationery items given by others.One day, Jin Ling found a beautiful colorful bag that could be used as a shoe bag. She was very happy and wanted to use it when she went to school the next day, but her mother insisted that she bring the usual shoe bag.

"The one you are using now is also very good. Is it necessary to use something that other students don't have?" Mother's words imply that some students can't even afford ordinary shoes and bags, and she wants us to know how to love ourselves and be content.She told us all the time: "Even if our father is the president, we will not change anything. One day we still have to go back to Xindang-dong. We can't have a sense of superiority just because we live in Cheong Wa Dae. Don't forget that this place is only temporary. A place to live." When I lived in Cheong Wa Dae, my mother's teachings were deeply imprinted in my heart.A mother who is kind to others but has strict self-discipline, I hope that our three siblings will also be as strict as her in self-discipline and lenient towards others.Ever since we lived in Sindang-dong, my mother would let us play to our heart's content in the morning, but at night, she always asked us to write a diary and do a day of self-reflection.

Following my mother's teachings, I have cultivated the habit of writing a diary every day since elementary school.Record what you did well and what you didn't do that day every day, and write down the shortcomings that need to be improved not only in the diary, but also in other notebooks.This method helps to break bad habits.Although it will take some time to get rid of it, just like the bad habit of biting nails was accidentally quit by myself, I will cross out the bad habit that I have quit with a red pen, and get a sense of accomplishment in the process. The reason why I can develop these good habits is due to the influence of my mother on me.I respect my parents, my mother especially my idol.The kind and confident mother who thinks deeply about everything is the object of my admiration since I was a child. I spent my adolescence in the life of imitating my mother.
