I was born in 1980 in Korea. Most of my ages graduated from college, and they work in some companies. I was three times to try applied university in Korea, but I failed to go to the university.
I tried to find my aptitude, but I found my aptitude through a lot of failures such as athletics (golf), music (playing soprano saxophone), cooking and playing the part of an actor. Also, I had a terrible car accident that I spent a lot of time in the hospital. When I was injured my part of the body and was hospitalized in hospital, I was able to look back my past because there were a lot of people who had serious problem in their body. However, they did not give up their life and dream. I realized I was fool because I was negative everything to do and gave up easily. However, this car accident gave me an opportunity of new life and optimistic mind, and I got strong mind to challenge everything that I can do. I was not interested in studying, but I finally found to study economics which is my aptitude through I read books and newspaper. Moreover, it is my belief that actual experience is more valuable than learning by books. While serving in Defense Security Command (Korean military) for 26 months, I harnessed my patience and confidence in my ability to overcome any life difficulties. The military services provided me with an opportunity to look back seriously on what I had done at school and in my personal life previously. With the experience and learning from the hardships, perseverance, personal relationships, fellowships in the military life, I was able to see things from different perspectives and in more matured ways. It made me feel sorry for the time I wasted in the past. In addition to the military life and various part-time jobs I had taken occasionally including Wal-Mart Korea and Lotte Department Store. I realized that I had a great interest in working with people and doing business. When I worked at Wal-Mart and Lotte Department Store along with many people of different ages and background, I observed that effective communication skills with coworkers were critical in achieving any planned goals. I often took on active roles in narrowing differences in opinion and conflicts among coworkers, enabling our team to achieve the planned goals. Even though these were part-time jobs, I could get a taste of management and business in which I found a great satisfaction.
I know I was backward in other people who were my age to attend the company. In this reason, People around me make me feel more depressed because of my failures. However, I never give up my dream which is finance analyst. It was difficult at first to study in the United States for various reasons such as language barrier and culture difference. So, I cannot get good grades for most courses when I attended in Skagit Valley College and first semester in Santa Monica College. However, I have successfully overcome these difficulties. I believe that my military life provides me challenging mind, and this experience gave me motive like Thomas Edison. I never think about failure when I do something, and I am always optimistic. I strongly believe proverbs such as “Slow and steady wins the race” and “Mistakes breed success.” I do not think that I failed every time to do my work because I think that it is processing to approach my dream even if I wasted time to reach my dream job because of failure. I believe that it is good experiences. I am not disappointed by a lot of failure, and I overcome to challenge my dream again. When I get difficult situation in the future, I will try to solve the problem. In addition, I will analyze the problem, and I make an effort that I will not make same mistake again in the future.
