His name is Jong-min!!

I want to introduce Jong-min. Do you know about him? Actually I didn't know him until now!! Let's know about him!!

He was born in Young-kwang and raised in Seoul. His hometown, Young-kwang, is fairly beautiful and littel seaside town. There have surrounded the sea and mountains. There locate in westsea in Korea is peaceful, quiet and beautiful. Especially automn scenery is fascinating. If you see, you can't turn your eyes. (I'm not sure... This sentence is right or not...) When the sunset you could see that the sky put on bauty and mountain turned crimson. The beauty of the scenery beggars all description. He had to move to Seoul when he was 5~6 years young because his father's company transfered to seoul but his grandmother and some relatives have lived in there still now. So they(his family) have went to there 3~4 times a year.
There are 4 of us altogethor; his parents, brother and him.
He desn't know well about his family. However especially he really respects his mother. She is very enthusiastic and diligent person. She told often "If people stop doing, they will be certain to lag behind." So she alwasys endeavors to do whatever studying or working.... She likes studying something even though she is old. So he respects his mother.
If you want to know his dream, follow article is appropriated from his 1st journal. His dream had changed many times. When he was a child, he wanted to be an architect as his father. When he was an elementary school student he wanted to be a scientist. Eventhough, he knew he couldn't, he really wanted to be Superman after watching the Superman movies. But, they were not real dream jobs they are not realilty.

Did your dream come true?
- No, they were not real dream jobs they are not realilty. But he has other firm dream job and he is approaching step by step...

Why did you come to Toronto? Did you decide it by yourself or not? Why?
- He has to study English for changing his major. When he decided to go to foreign countries to study English, his brother recommended Canada. His brother had an experience last year, he had been to England to study English.

What's your major? Is it fun?
- His major is Food Science & Technology. In his case, he could not choose my major, he decided major that depended on his test point. He is not interested in it.

What do you want to be now? Why?
- Follow article is appropriated from his 1st journal... Now, he has a firm dream job that is being a special education teacher. Teaching other people seems interesting and challenging. Especially, he thinks teaching handicapped people is more rewarding than teaching other people. It is so difficult being a special education teacher that required tenacity and a lot of experience. Actually, he has some experience and that is teaching handicapped people. Four years ago, he visited a nunnery for volunteering to teach the handicapped. He went to there without any idea. At first, he just needed volunteering experience for entrance into a school of a higher grade. He taught Mathematics and Korean to the handicapped who need help. It was interesting and challenging, so he kept going until last month. His experinence there was enough to change his future. He agonized changing his major to special education but he decided during volunteering that he needed English to be a special education teacher.

Please tell us about one of your funny friends and a fun story.
- He always funny. When he spends time with his friends. He has 4 friends who is most friendly. He doesn't remember speciall funny experience.
They had took a trip at least 2 times a year. In July of last year, he took a trip with them. They planed to go from Seoul to Nam-won that they just used our motorcycles. When they went through a mountain at night, suddenly his motorcycle was broken. There was no light, very scary. They had to pulled to my motorcycle while they were going over a mountain almost 3 hours. It was very tired and scary, but he can't forget the memory.

Please tell us about your personality (more than 3).

When he stayed Korean, he was really talktive person but these days he can't talk a lot.
He thinks his English level is not good, he wants to talking with his friends a lot.

Do you like yourself?
- sometimes YES, sometimes NO... (his answer)

What are your good points, or bad points you think?
