Biography

  I grew up in a typical Korean home.  I was born in Korea in 1983.  My father worked at a bank, and my mother was a housewife.  There was one brother already in my family when I was born.  He was 1 year old at that time.  When I was child, I always played and competed with him. When I was 6 years old, my sister was born.  I went to kindergarten, elementary school and middle school with my brother. I learned many things from him. For example, he taught me math and science.  When I was an elementary student, I hardly studied.  I spent lots of time playing with my friends.  It was a very happy time without any anxiety.  After I entered middle school, I started studying hard because high school students usually study very hard in Korea.  After I spent most of time studying, I graduated from high school.

  Now, I am concentrating on learning English.  As soon as I graduated from high school, I came here, Georgia.  Then I am studying English in Georgia Tech.  I live in my aunt's house where two children and my sister live.  They can speak English very well because they have lived for about 3 years in America.  So, they sometimes teach English to me.  Although I am studying only English, I felt difficult to study.  I have not enough time to do other things.  There is a lot of homework, and I have to memorize English words because I don't know enough English words.  

  In this year, I will study English only.  After I finish the English course, I will test SAT and TOEFL.  I will enter the GT and major in computer science. So, I want to finish this English course as soon as possible.  After I graduate from the university, I will go graduate school.  But I have a duty to Korean army.  I'm not sure my duty of Korean army because I don't want to enter the army.  I want to get married before I'm 30 years old and to have two children who are one boy and one girl.  I want to get a job and have a happy life with my family.
