It has been an incredibly stressful year for high school seniors in Korea, as they spent their days and nights by the lamp, burying their faces in textbooks upon textbooks in preparation for the dreaded college entrance exams. 


These college entrance exams are very important in the fiercely competitive Korean society where being admitted into a well-respected institution is a must for these youngsters. The pressure placed on them is tremendous and each day the exam date draws nigh, they likely feel their footsteps growing heavier and heavier.

Sometimes, all these students need are warm words of encouragement from their loved ones. And that is exactly what the students of select high schools got while they were taking a Korean language aptitude test. 


As they were working down the list of questions on the test, some students' eyes brimmed with tears unbidden. The tears came after they read a personalized message from their parents on the test, placed randomly on the exam as one of the questions. Soon the room was full of muffled sniffles as each student silently read the messages from their moms and dads. After all the laborious school years preparing for a single, decisive moment, what these students needed most of all was loving words from the ones they love.
