It has been over one month since the former President Park Geun-hye was impeached. She did not perform her duty as the country’s leader, remaining lots of doubts on the ferry disaster, and her corruption scandal.

Meanwhile, the salvage work on sunken ferry of Sewol is ongoing. I saw the article in which the belongings of students were discovered inside the hull. The moment I saw the picture of the students’ things - crumpled bills for their allowance and some school materials - I could not help suppressing my anger. During that time, President Park had not recognized the gravity of the incident and did not take swift actions.

Her irresponsibility made students’ dreams and futures sink in the cold water.
In the present, the new presidential election has become important to our country. Some people think that their votes do not matter. But I think it is completely wrong. We have to be more prudent than ever. We also have responsibilities to cast our votes as citizens. The same disaster should not happen again.
