Talk about the lives of seniors in Korean high schools.

Senior years of high school in Korea is a trying time for students. It's when they have to get down to business and prepare for college admissions. They need to prep for the SATs at the end of year, so they have a heavy workload. Students also have to submit applications to college in various forms, including regular and early admissions. High school seniors go to school at the crack of dawn and take classes all day. After school, they attend private cram schools. Many study even more through online lectures, and some receive private tutoring. In addition to students, the whole family goes to great lengths to provide a good atmosphere for studying. It's worth it if the student gets into the college of choice, but those who don't try again the next year.

You look a little bit upset today. What's wrong? Are you okay?

I'm just tired from studying so much. The test is less than 2 months away.

Don't worry so much. You'll do fine. I have faith in you.

Thanks for your support. I'd be glad when this is all over.
