One day, someone asked me
to ask myself what I want to do with my life, what my purpose of living is. I
was thinking, but I couldn’t get the answer. So he said it’s easy and asked me
again, what my passion is, what thing that makes me happy. And then I was
thinking about it again. I said to be surrounded by the people I love, to make
them happy. But he said again, it’s not that. Maybe family and friends are
important to me, but still I need to know what thing that I do that makes me
happy. I was thinking so hard, and finally I found the answer. To meet people,
to interact with them, definitely not to be behind the desk, stare at the
computer a whole day.
Yes, I love meeting new
people, interacting with them. Knowing what kind of life they live, listening
to the story of their life, knowing their way of thinking and sharing mine too.
I think it’s the best feeling in the world ever.
I was a very active kid, I
liked to ask question while everyone was too shy just to raise their hand. And up
until now I always have a thousand of questions whenever I see something new.
My mom also always encourages me to not be afraid to ask and to speak in front
of many people. I owe my family for raising me in that kind of atmosphere.
I’m always excited to learn
something new (well, definitely not math though), and that’s the reason why I chose
Korean language as my major in University. I love learning new language. And when I’m able to speak in
other language, that’s also the best feeling in the world. Especially when I talk to the native,
and they could understand what I say.
I always believe
everything starts from a dream. One day, I will go around the world to meet new people,
learn new culture, and understand new language. I know I can’t fulfill my passion right now,
but someday, someday I also know
that I can, mentally and financially.
