That's how I was able to continue playing soccer .

         I was grateful for just that .

         I was always grateful just to be able to continue playing soccer .
         Because soccer was everything in my life at that time .

         or didn't want to think about my life without soccer .



         ‘ Soccer club disbanded’

         However, in the middle of the second year , the soccer team suddenly di

         sbanded . The reason was the financial situation of rural schools .

         I started wandering from that day . The only thing I've played since ele
         mentary school until now is soccer . Since I couldn't play soccer , I just

         didn't know what to do . When I entered class, I couldn't keep up with th

         e progress of the class . In order to study, you need to know a certain a
         mount of knowledge . Because I was working out, I didn't know anythin

         g , not even the multiplication tables or spelling . So for me, school class

         es were just ‘sleeping time . ’


         ' What made me exceptionally good at soccer was effort and persistence

         rather than talent .'

         ' Others just played soccer , but I played with fire in my heart .'
         ' Others just played , but I ran for my life .'

         ' I think I'm probably ahead of them in terms of mentality .'



         'It may be because I lived with fire in my heart .'



         ' Wandering and rest'

         However, the soccer club was eventually disbanded due to financial prob
         lems . The sky is yellow , my mind is gray . The bottom has arrived .



         I couldn't play soccer anymore, which I loved .

         I left school and wandered aimlessly ,,,,
         Memories of dipping my feet in the clear water of Geumseonjeong Pavili
                                                                                                      QR
         on at the foot of Sobaeksan Mountain in Punggi ... .
