The Dark Skinned Clown
His name is David in English. He is Korean but his outward appearance could confuse anyone including me. When I first met him during middle school, I thought he was a foreign student because he had really dark skin. He is five feet eight inches tall and loves to wear sport clothes because he loves playing soccer, tennis, and taekwondo. He is also very talented in music. He is a great singer and an excellent drummer. His sisters are majoring choreography so it is not a surprise for him to be great at music. However, he is very poor at academic studies. He would always be causing trouble during class and therefore be sent to the principal office. Yet, he is very friendly and interesting because he loves to be funny and make jokes.
Even though he is careless most of the time, he can sometimes be serious. I could still remember him say that "Failure is the mother of success" when I failed to get a high TOEFL grade. He encouraged me to keep working hard although there will be times where I would fail. That comment fits him very well because he continues to work hard even though there are many hardships coming at his way. He has always been a special member of our school, our church, and even our family. He knows how to deal with anyone even the little kids because of his mature and childish attitude.
Right now, he is busy practicing Tae Kwon Do in his university, working hard to become a professional. I know he is working hard because his improvement is too big. I met him just two weeks ago and he showed me crazy acrobatic movements he learned in his college. He also used to work at a restaurant every day during vacation until he got his scholarship from his college. I believe that out of my friends in my school and church, David has been the one who had matured the most during our time spent together since 2008.
David's first impression was always being a clown. He was the clown in our class during middle school and he still is today. Although people say bad things about his grades, people who come to understand him better will know that he is a hardworking friend. Most people react positively towards David because of his funny attitude. You could say that he can be friendly with anyone. I am proud to say that he is my best friend.
