My child will soon be entering elementary school.

The thought of my child starting grade school next year made me feel a bit anxious.

아이가 내년에 μ΄ˆλ“±ν•™κ΅λ₯Ό κ°„λ‹€λŠ” 생각이 λ“€μž μ‘°κΈ‰ ν•œ 마음이 λ“€μ—ˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€.

​

I've heard that while kindergartners return home after 4 in the afternoon, grade school kids come home shortly after lunch.

* shortly after lunch : μ μ‹¬μ‹œκ°„ 직후에

​

That means there isn't much free time left over for the moms.

So, I decided to prepare this year for certification exams that take up a lot of time.

​

First, I studied for and obtained certification as an elementary school math instructor.

​

Next, I earned a certificate for computerized accounting.

​

It required more test prep than I expected because it was an unfamiliar field.

* test prep : μ‹œν—˜ μ€€λΉ„

* an unfamiliar field : μƒμ†Œν•œ λΆ„μ•Ό

​

I had to take the test with a sense of tension that I hadn't felt in a while.

​

Before my child starts elementary school, I plan to prepare for two more certifications.

아이가 μ΄ˆλ“±ν•™κ΅μ— μž…ν•™ν•˜κΈ° 전에 자격증 두 개λ₯Ό 더 μ€€λΉ„ν•˜λ €κ³  ν•©λ‹ˆλ‹€.

​

I believe showing my child the effort I put into studying is a valuable lesson.

​

I'm not sure whether these certifications will ever come in handy.

But I believe the time and effort I spent will not be in vain.
