Reflective essay


          Have you ever been punished to others such as your parents, teachers, or your family members? Punishment is very painful and it can be hurt. However, not always all the punishment is just painful. Even if you are so painful and get hurt, you can get 'Empathy' to creature which you harmed. The movie 'Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter and Spring' shows good punishment of the old priest. One sunny day of the Spring, the young mock hanged the heavy rock to frog, fish and snake which he just caught in the forest. All the frog, fish and snake that he caught and hanged heavy rock cannot move anymore and they even died. However, the old priest observe the all situation happened in the forest and during that night while young mock sleeping he hang the heavy rock on the back of his body just like he did to animals. The old priest told him to save all the animals that he teased. Then he said if he didn't return all the things, it'll be your life's heaviest load. While he saving the animals, he realized how cruel he was and had empathy of animals.


          In this video, it shows fable with moral lesson of life and death. This is an example of good punishment and I think good punishment is one of the way we can learn something is very precious and important in our life.

          I have been punished from others many times with the way of scolding or having a communication. Not the all the punishment was very helpful to me but some of them realized me and made me never do bad thing what I just do, next time.
It was a story happened when I was really young.(:kindergartner age) I was playing around sofa with my  sister and we go up on the sofa and tried to lie but sofa was not much big size to lie and have some rest with my sister. As a result, I was really sleepy, tired and also angry. I pushed my sister under my sofa. Finally, she dropped over floor and her bone was broken. I was really shocked that I cannot play with her. I just thought only playing because I was so young to understand other things. Thus, I take care of her everyday and I wanted to cry while I'm taking care of her because my sister looked hurt and uncomfortable because of me. First, i just did it for playing with her but after a while I was frustrated that i did horrible things to her. It was not an actual punishment that other ordered to me but I was so sorry to see she was in trouble and it was the most unbearable and hard punishment that I had before and also until now.
If the first story is teaching how injuring other can be harmful to other and also me, this second story strongly realize me about my conceit. I'm till regretting what did like that. When I was a 4th grader. I was participating at speech contest as a class representative. I thought I was the best so whether I practice or not I could get 1st prize. However, this was totally wrong thought. As I said, I did not practice at all and when the contest started I forgot every single word of my speech and I ruined it and cried. I cried not because of resentment that I didn't get the prize. I was so sorry to myself and other who believed me. After this event whenever I participate at some contest, I practiced really hard. Consequently I didn't regret of the result and be satisfied and proud of myself that I worked really hard and did my best.

            Punishment is a very painful thing to bear it. Even though punishment is so painful to bear it, I think punishment is the biggest learning that I can get in my life. Many students didn't know the reason and truth of punishment and just be angry and blame one who scold them. Everybody should know the reason of punishing them is they love them and really want to fix your bad habit. Thank you, my parents, teachers, one who scold and punishment. Thank you one more time!
