For the last two years I’ve been working really hard to pass all my exams successfully and to get accepted to college. And yet college seemed to be the scariest thing that I could think of. Whenever I thought about it, my stomach would immediately begin to spin in circles. Although I was ready to go off and be by myself and meet new people, I was scared to death at the same time. I pictured hard classes that I wouldn’t be able to keep up with, people that wouldn’t like me, long hikes to get to my classes, and horrible food. I couldn’t imagine leaving the security of my own room, my own stuff where I want it, my friends that I’ve spent practically my whole life with, my family who put up with all my little quirks.

Everyone else that I talked to, however, didn’t seem to have this problem. They all were thrilled at the thought of being on their own and not having to worry about their parents telling them what to do or not to do all the time. And, sure, the thought was extremely exciting to me as well, but how would I survive without my family and friends and the things that had taken me eighteen years to get used to?

The summer before I came to college was probably the most fun my friends and I ever had. We all knew that in September things would never be the same again and we had to make the most of it while we still could. As the end of August rolled around we knew that it was time to say goodbye and be on our way to our own independence. I packed up the memories of the last eighteen years of my life into about five suitcases and was ready to go. I still didn’t feel like I was just as mature as my older college friends and I thought that I still looked like I was twelve years old.

We finally made it to the doors and began unloading my clothes and the eight million bags of food that my mom had packed for me. I still was unsure about sharing my room and not being able to have the privacy that I had back home. I was worried that the little habits that I had might annoy my roommate and that my roommate might have just as many annoying little habits that I might not be able to handle as well.

After I had all my things unpacked and put exactly where I wanted, my roommate and I decided to go around our hall and see whom we would be living with for the next two semesters. As we went around to different rooms and met different people my nervousness seemed to diminish. I began to realize that not everyone here knew everyone else and most were just as anxious and nervous about being here as I was. It worked. I started to feel better and was actually kind of excited about living here all by myself.

I still miss the security of living at home (and I wonder who would blame me for this feeling) and, most of all, home-cooked meals that are nonexistent here and the friends that I grew up with. But I know that we’ve all changed and those memories are just that – memories, no matter how pleasant they might be. And when times get too tough, my mom is just a phone call away. But I’m not too quick to call her and have her solve my problems. I’ve learned that I can usually work things out by myself. I’m glad that I’ve gone through these changes in myself and it makes me realize that I don’t need to fear change, that it’s just a part of life that everyone has to go through sometime.

    Start of college life: how I coped with fear

    Начало студенческой жизни: как я справился со страхом
    За последние два года я работал очень трудно передать все мои экзамены успешно и , чтобы быть принятым в колледж. И все же колледж , казалось, самое страшное , что я мог думать. Всякий раз , когда я думал об этом, мой желудок немедленно начнет вращаться по кругу. Несмотря на то, что я был готов уйти и быть самостоятельно и познакомиться с новыми людьми, я был напуган до смерти , в то же время. Я представил жесткие классы , которые я бы не быть в состоянии идти в ногу с, люди , которые не хотели бы меня, длинные походы , чтобы добраться до моих занятий, и ужасной пищи. Я не мог себе представить , оставляя безопасность своей комнате, мой собственный материал , где я хочу это, друзья мои , что я провел практически всю мою жизнь, мою семью , кто мириться со всеми моими маленькими причудами.
    Все остальное , что я говорил чтобы, однако, похоже, не имеют этой проблемы. Все они были в восторге от мысли, что сами по себе и не беспокоиться о своих родителей , говоря им , что делать или не делать все время. И, конечно, эта мысль была чрезвычайно интересной для меня , как хорошо, но как бы я жить без моей семьи и друзей , и вещи , которые мне потребовалось восемнадцать лет , чтобы привыкнуть к?
    Летом , прежде чем я пришел в колледж, вероятно , самое забавное мои друзья и я когда — либо имел. Мы все знали , что в сентябре вещи никогда не будет прежним , и мы должны были сделать большую часть его в то время как мы все еще могли. В конце августа каталась мы знали , что это было время , чтобы сказать до свидания и быть на нашем пути к нашей собственной независимости. Я упаковал воспоминания о последних восемнадцати лет моей жизни в пять чемоданов и был готов к работе. Я до сих пор не чувствую , что я был так же , как пожилые моих старших друзей колледжа , и я думал , что я до сих пор выглядел как мне было двенадцать лет.
    Мы наконец сделали это к дверям и начал разгрузку мою одежду и восемь миллионов мешков еды что моя мама упаковала для меня. Я до сих пор не был уверен , о совместном использовании своей комнате и не будучи в состоянии иметь частную жизнь , что я должен был вернуться домой. Я был обеспокоен тем, что маленькие привычки , которые у меня были , возможно , раздражать мой сосед по комнате и что мой сосед по комнате , возможно, так же , как многие раздражающие маленькие привычки , которые я не мог бы быть в состоянии справиться , а также.
    После того как я все мои вещи распакованы и поставить именно там , где я хотел , мой сосед по комнате , и я решил пойти вокруг нашего зала и посмотреть , кого мы будем жить с в течение следующих двух семестров. Как мы ходили в разные комнаты и встретил разных людей , моя нервозность , казалось, уменьшится. Я начал понимать , что не все здесь знали , и все остальные , и большинство из них были так же , как беспокойство и нервничать по поводу пребывания здесь , как я. Это сработало. Я начал чувствовать себя лучше и был на самом деле своего рода рады жить здесь все сам.
    Я до сих пор скучаю безопасность жизни у себя дома (и мне интересно , кто бы винить меня за это чувство) и, прежде всего, домашние блюда , которые не существуют здесь и друзья , что я вырос. Но я знаю , что мы все изменились , и эти воспоминания не только что — воспоминания, независимо от того , как приятно они могли бы быть. И когда времена становятся слишком жестким, моя мама просто телефонный звонок. Но я не слишком быстро , чтобы позвонить ей и иметь ее решить мои проблемы. Я узнал , что я могу , как правило , работать вещи самостоятельно. Я рад , что я прошел через эти изменения в себе , и это заставляет меня понять , что мне не нужно бояться перемен, что это всего лишь часть жизни , что каждый человек должен пройти через некоторое время .

The table I’m sitting at has a wobble, so I’ve spilt some of the first cup and most of the second down the white trousers I was so proud of as I swanked in front of the mirror in my hotel room this morning.

    I can see the hairdressers or stylists as they prefer to be called, as they work. There is a man with a ponytail who is perambulating around the salon, stopping now and then to frown and grab a bank of customer’s hair. There are two girl stylists: one has had her white blonde hair shaved and then allowed it explode into hundreds of hedgehog’s quills; the other has hair any self-respecting woman would scalp for: thick and lustrous. All three are dressed in severe black. Even undertakers allow themselves to wear a little white on the neck and cuffs, but undertakers don’t take their work half as seriously, and there lies the problem. I am afraid of hairdressers.

    When I sit in front of the salon mirror stuttering and blushing, and saying that I don’t know what I want, I know I am the client from hell. Nobody is going to win Stylist of the year with me as a model.

    ‘Madam’s hair is very th …’,they begin to say ‘thin’, think better of it and change it for ‘fine’—ultimately, coming out with the hybrid word ‘thine’. I have been told my hair is ‘thine’ many times. Are they taught to use it at college? Along with other conversational openings, depending on the season: ‘Done your Christmas shopping?’ ‘Going away for Easter?’ ‘Booked your summer holiday?’ ‘You are brown, been way?’ ‘Nights are drawing in, aren’t they?’ ‘Going away for Christmas?’

    I am hopeless at small talk (and big talk). I’m also averse to looking at my face in a mirror for an hour and a half. I behave as though I am a prisoner on the run.

    I’ve looked at wigs in stores, but I am too shy to try them on, and I still remember the horror of watching a bewigged man jump into a swimming pool and then seeing what looked like a medium sized rodent break the surface and float on the water. He snatched at his wig, thrust it anyhow on top of his head and left the pool. I didn’t see him for the rest of the holiday.

    There is a behavior trait that a lot of writers share—it is called avoidance activity. They will do anything to avoid starting to write: clean a drain, phone their mentally confused uncle in Peru, change the cat’s litter tray. I’m prone to this myself, in summer I deadhead flowers, even lobelia. In winter I’ll keep a fire going stick by stick, anything to put off the moment of scratching marks on virgin paper.

    I am indulging an avoidance activity now. I’ve just ordered another cappuccino, I’ve given myself a sever talking: For God’s sake, woman! You are forty-seven years of age. Just cross the road, push the salon door open, and ask for an appointment!

    It didn’t work. I’m now in my room, and I have just given myself a do-it-yourself hairdo, which consisted of a shampoo, condition and trim, with scissors on my Swiss army knife.

    I can’t wait to get back to the Toni & Guy salon in Leicester. The staff there haven’t once called my hair ‘thine’ and they can do wonders with the savagery caused by Swiss army knife scissors.

    Lessons leave no time for play in Seoul

    A 17-year-old boy drifts into sleep, his head drooping into the textbook open in front of him. It is 9 pm and Yang Dong-myung has two more hours of study to complete before going home. Around him sit other teenage South Koreans struggling to stay awake as a tutor scribbles English vocabulary on a blackboard. Mr Yang and his classmates are among the roughly 80 per cent of South Koreans who attend private evening schools, known as hagwort, to improve their changes of reaching university.

    An almost cult-like devotion to learning has been among the driving forces behind South Korea’s rapid economic development over the past half century, creating one of the world’s most highly educated workforces. But concern is growing that the obsession with education has spun out of control, putting children under too much stress and families under pressure to pay expensive tuition fees.

    The government signalled its alarm last month by announcing plans to outlaw evening classes after 10pm as part of tougher regulation of the $ll billion hagwon industry. Mr Yang attends his hagwon in Seoul four evenings a week from 6pm to 11pm after a full day at school. “I get tired and fall asleep in class,” he says. “But in Korea education is important so my parents force me to study.”

    South Korea spends 6.8 per cent of gross domestic product on education, more than any other member of the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). However, the country’s public spending on education is highlighting the role played by private tuition in Asia’s fourth-largest economy.

    The teachings of Confucius, the ancient Chinese philosopher who stressed the importance of scholarship, influence many east Asian societies. In South Korea, the zeal for learning is reinforced by a belief that knowledge is crucial to the bid to catch up with richer nations such as Japan and stay ahead of China. “Korea is a country with few natural resources so to better ourselves individually and as a nation we have to use our brains,” say Lee Nan-young, mother of two teenage students. Commitment to education is reflected by research showing South Korea’s 15-year-olds have the highest scientific literacy and second-highest mathematics standards among OECD members.

    Private tuition has become so entrenched that public schools skip parts of the curriculum on the assumption it will be taught in evening classes. “Public education teaches students to be rounded individuals; hagwon exist to get them through the university entrance exam,” says Mr Lee.

    Getting into a good university is considered a ticket to success in status conscious South Korea, where people are judged according to educational background. The annual entrance exam is so important that people start work an hour late on test day to keep roads clear for candidates, while airports restrict take-offs and landings during the exam to avoid disturbing students.

    There is growing awareness of the negative consequence of such a fanatical approach to education. “I worry about my children having no time to exercise and have fun,” says Lee Nan. “Children are getting fat because they are always studying.”

    Jung Bong-sup, head of school policy at the ministry of education, says the hagwon style of teaching fails to provide the skills needed in the modem global economy. “Students memorise facts but they don’t learn the ideas behind them,” he says. “In the 21 st century people need to think creatively and that requires more interactive education.”

    However, as long as university remains the path to prosperity in South Korea, parents will send their children to hagwon. “If other kids go then so must yours,” says Mrs Lee.
