for 2015. The reason for this swimming competition was to support Dokdo Island.
As you know, Korea is fighting Japan because of Dokdo Island.
Japanese people say Dokdo is Japan's island, but Koreans say Dokdo is Korea's!
Right now, Korean soldiers are protecting the island, so it belongs to Korea.
So, the event or fundraiser was called "Loving Dokdo Island" Swimming Competition.
Anyone could swim and enjoy this competition, so I decided to swim for it.
There was a fee to swim for this event, so my parents paid for me.
(Thank you mom and dad! <3)
However, all the money went to Dokdo Island, so that we could continue to protect it!
I am happy that I participated in this event.
I also feel very proud to help Korea!
I had a great result, thanks to God and my parents,
I came in 3rd out of 7 swimmers for individual race.
I also had a team relay with my friends and
we did our best, so we came in 7th place.
We will have a better score next time!
Through this event, I realized how important Dokdo Island was and as a Korean,
I must protect and love my country.
The 1st place winner got to go to Dokdo Island for a week.
Next time, I will go!
Please pray and support our Dokdo Island!
P.S. It's snowing!!!!! Please enjoy the snow and stay safe!
