I have known my boyfriend for about nine years. We were on good terms when we were classmates in the sixth grade. He always helped me with everything, and I also gave help to him. For example, when we went home, he carried my bag, and I made a present of a teddy bear to him. We liked to eat lunch together, and I walked to and from school with him. Although we were children, we had good feelings for each other. When I was in middle and high school, however, I lost contact with him. He had remembered my telephone number after living elementary school. He made my telephone number into his secret number in bankbook. When I was freshman, I had received a telephone call from him.
　　　 "Do you remember me?" He asked.
　　　 "Who?”I answered. I could not remember him.
　　　 "I am Won Woo." Thereupon I could know who are him.
　　　 "How have you been?" I answered.
　　　 "Do you remember that we would meet after we became university student?" He talked. Because his speech, I can remember our promise when we were elementary school. We carry out our promise after the day. So we became a couple. He has a favorable influence upon me.
　　　 First, I know I lack tenacity and perseverance. Because my boyfriend is a soccer player at Kyoung Hee University, however, he has a very strong spirit and body. He started playing soccer when he was in the fourth grade. He has been playing soccer for almost twelve years. His height is one hundred seventy-five centimeters, his weight is sixty-six kilograms, and his hairstyle is very short and straight. His position is midfielder. Almost all of his life is made up of constant repeated training. He takes over twenty laps around a track of four hundred meters every day. But he does notgrumble about it. He says, "Though soccer is very difficult, it is my dream and my life." He wants to become a great soccer player and a soccer coach. So he hopes to develop his soccer skill still more. I have become aware of my own weak points through him. I have several weak point. When I happen difficult problem, I give up it easily. I do not try to solve it. And my dream change open because I cannot concentrate upon one thing. So I have not complete my object perfectly. But he has complete his dream by tenacity and he always try to cover his weak point. Now I try to solve my problem by perseverance as him.
　　　 Second, the biggest change in my life since I met my boyfriend is to read books. He likes to read books. He mainly reads a novel in his dormitory when he is not playing soccer, and he tells me a moving summary of the books. Then I listen to his stories with great interest because they are so pleasant. We speak over the telephone about books almost every day. I have never had an interest in books　 but I found my interest rising because of him. One day I said to him that I would read a book in my free time, too. Thereupon he surprisedly said, "You are so beautiful." I was very happy. In fact, I hate to read. After I heard his praise, however, I read very hard. Because I want to hear to his praise, I have taken an interest in books.
　　　 Last, he has given me beautiful memories. They fill my mind and always make me feel happy. For example, on my birthday this year, he prepared a special present for me. I will near forget it. It was a small book of poems and essays. The title was, I'd Like to Give My Lover this Book, and the book was about love. I think that the title of the book expressed to me his true feelings, which he had never said in words. So I was more overjoyed than if he had said, "I love you."
　　　 I learned a lot of things from my boyfriend. They are very important to me, and I will remember them forever. He has made my life rich and given me energy. I always hope that he will become an excellent soccer player and be healthy. Sometimes I dream about life being married to him. He will definitely become a professional soccer player, and I will help him to do well in his career and to be successful. For example, I would like to cook delicious food for him, and I want to wash　 his clothes. We will not spend much time together because he will be away from home very often for practice and games. But I will always think that he is just beside me. I would like to feel happiness and sorrow with him, because that is true love.
