[Extract] Quoting Day 6 [Seungri’s Shout To The World Chapter 12]

                     <Create a ‘dream’ which can change your life> 

  ‘It is okay. Although you have been eliminated in another audition before, if you keep trying, you can do it. Son, Do it until you succeed. We believe in you.’

 When I returned to Gwangju after the selection of Big Bang members, my parents had not said anything to me besides encouraging words. I was sure they were disappointed at my failure but they did not show any traces of it. I always reminded myself that ‘I cannot let the efforts that I paid to be in vain.’ so I relaxed a bit. My mum had prepared some good dished for me at the late night for me since I was heading to Seoul again very early on the next year. She showed her support by providing me with good food.

I cannot give up since I don’t want to disappoint such a pair of good parents. ‘In order to repay what my parents have given me, I have to work really really hard. I have to try again ’ I promised myself. 

 I guess all parents support their children like how my parents do but my parents are especially supportive. When I was small, I did not put studying at the top of my list of priority but they never complaint. They knew that I was very interested in singing and dancing, they just supported me to do whatever I want and have never, ever blamed me once for this.

   ’You can do whatever you want but I want you to work hard on them.’ I am really thankful for having them as my parents. Even after I was accepted by YGE to be a trainee, they had been helping me out too. They asked the school to allow me to take leaves for training even though I was only a junior school student. On the other hand, I was stressful for their support so I worked very hard to achieve what I promised them. 

  When I was still a student, I once met some classmates whom did not pay any attention to schoolwork. I went to the game rooms and comics stores with them every day after school. It was the time before I had met the dancing team that I later enrolled in. At that time, I did fight with people sometimes, too. However, one day, I suddenly saw the sad faces of my parents and from there, I discovered deep disappointment. At that very particular moment, I knew that what I had done was wrong since I thought, ‘if even parents could not place their trust in me, who would ?’  And I am so glad that I also started to dance at that time.

Ever since I was small, I have had  a dream, ‘I have to be a person who can repay the trust and love that my parents have been giving me.’ Although I did not know what I should do in order to make them happy, I was so determined to do so. I want to try my best in every aspect and be the son that my parents can always be proud of. 

This is the dream which motivates me to work very hard throughout the course of my life.
