Project description
Information about myself: I am 22 years old( Sept.9, 1992). I was born and raised in South Korea. Came to America in December of 2009 got into Cedar Park Christian
high school as freshman in 2nd semester. After graduation of high school in 2012, i enrolled Bellevue College and tried to figure out what i want to major. Finally i
could decide my major, which is Media and Communication Studies. Because i realized that i enjoy talking with foreign people about culture, languages, and foods. Even
i want to know about the diplomatic relationship between my country and other countries. By talking with a lot of foreign people, i definitely realized the
significance of communication skills. Also the significance of media in current days by hearing and watching Tvs. My experience of working in Korea as a business
company’s intern helped me to decide my major. My career goal is to get a degree of Media and Communication Studies and become an international exporter with better
communication skills and skills of using media effectively. From Bellevue College, i will get associate degree in end of March 2015.
Lastly writer can refer my previous essay.
When I first entered middle school in Korea, I remember being confused as to why my brother and I had to decide whether we wanted to live with our father or mother.
Surely I complained about my parents constant bickering, but I had difficulty understanding why we could not all live together. Although a painful experience, it was
through my parents divorce that helped me to learn the virtues of selflessness and leadership.
Before the divorce, I craved both attention and materialistic possessions. I was adamant in obtaining what I wanted and complained until my desires were satisfied. For
instance, when my parents refused to buy me the same toy or game that they gave to my younger brother I would cry, refuse to eat and pester my brother daily. My
parents felt sorry for me and eventually bought the product. As a result, I often took advantage of my parents generosity with little regard for their feelings.
After the separation however I felt extreme sadness and did not want other people to know about my parents separation. It was painful especially when my friends would
sometimes joke and make fun of people’s parents not knowing about my circumstances. Because of my friends’ words I would become depressed and often had to fight back
tears. From this experience, I realized that other people also may have hidden secrets or other emotional scars and became more cautious in how I spoke and acted
towards my family, friends and other people.
As I continued to show respect and become more considerate to the people around me I noticed how individuals began to enjoy my company and treat me with the same
courtesy. Although I initially felt alone when my father left, by thinking less of myself and being a blessing unto others through maintaining a positive attitude and
encouraging friends and family when they were depressed, I noticed my own pain and loneliness diminishing. What’s more I learned how valuable it is of being content
with not only the people, but also the possessions I already had.
By learning the importance of selflessness it also helped me to become a better leader. I never thought about the responsibility as a big brother and oldest son before
I learned the importance of selflessness. Even though my dad always wanted me to become a leader of other people, I had no interest becoming a leader. When I, however
finally learned how to think other people feeling first, automatically I could see myself as a leader of family and leader of school. I joined the National Honors
Society in order to serve myself with my abilities. I had difficult time dealing with my language barrier but I still had to tutor people who need my help. By becoming
the leader of school in an academic way, I learned how to encourage other people and how to help other people with my capability. Due to my consideration for other
peoples feeling, I became a leader of the church youth group as the final way of showing how I have really grown over the years. As a leader of the church youth group,
family, and school, I learned how to negotiate the myriad ideas, favoring harmony rather than conflicts. Just being a leader of many groups, I not only thought about
the responsibilities but also the fairness for every people in order to reconcile majority of group.
By watching my moms devotion to raise me and my brother up properly, I turned away from the wrong actions. Also, I finally became a person who really considers other
peoples feeling first and respects other people as well. Certainly, my parents divorce not only caused me period of resistance but also made me more mature person.
Now, I care about other peoples feeling first and try to respect other people. Therefore, my parents divorce helped me to change my personality from egocentric person
to a person who tries to understand other people and respect other people.
