I was born in Damyang, a beautiful placeknown for its bamboo forests in Korea. I spent much time in the forestspainting pictures of the bamboo. Painting is one of my talents. I lived thereuntil last year when my family moved to New York. My mother, a scientist, wasasked to come work here.
"There are no bamboo forests," I said, "thereis nothing to paint in New York." "Don't worry, my dear daughter. Youwill find many things to see and paint there," said my mother. "Iwill miss home," I said. "Then you can paint pictures of yourfavorite places. They will make you feel at home," she said. So when we moved,I brought my forest paintings with me.
New York was not easy at first. I missed home a lot. Yetwhen I looked at my paintings of bamboo, I felt much better. I soon foundfriends at school too. They also like painting, and we now paint in a groupafter school.
Last month, we had a new neighbor, Varvara, an old ladywho moved from Russia, to be closer to her daughter. She was sad to leave herhome. My mother and I often visited her. She told us her homesickness andeverything about her hometown Vyborg. I could picture her home in my head.
Varvara missed her home so much that she became ill. Iworried about her and I wanted to do something for her. I had ever been in hersituation before. At least, I had my forest paintings of home. However, shedidn't even have that. Unless...
A few days later, I met Varvara on the stairs. She lookedbetter but still sad. I gave her my gift: a painting of Vyborg. I had paintedit from her memories.
She began to cry as she saw the painting. At first, I wasworried that she didn't like it. Later, she told me that those were tears ofjoy. I knew just how she felt-wherever you go, hometown is always with you.
