A Person Who Has Made a Difference: My Brother

A Person Who Has Made a Difference: My Brother

       My brother changed my ideas about living. He was born in a city of Ulsan in South Korea. He wasn't rich in his childhood, and he was normal. His environment was not good. But he didn't accuse his environment, and he always tried to make his evironment what he wanted. Consequently, he is working on his Ph.D in Penn State University now. I think he is a great person because he always does his utmost in everything that he does. Whenever I am depressed or frustrated, he advises me and is with me. I still remember his advice that "if you act like everyone else, you can never say that you tried!". I believe it because he is showing me it now. He is 7 years older than me. I spent a lot of time with him during childhood because my parents were busy. He learned a lot of things because he was curious about everything, and he did them well. I like him, so I have tried to follow him. Although I can't do all of the things he does, I can learn some of them. He is a person who has made a difference for me, and he is the best mentor in my life.

Try It Out!

Introducing Myself

       Hello! I would like to introduce myself to you. My name is Jeongtaek Kim. Just call me JT. I'm from South Korea. I'm a senior student in University of Ulsan in South Korea. My major is Electronics. I was born in a city of Ulsan in South Korea, and I grew up there while I was in South Korea. Then I came here a month ago. Everything is new, and all things are unfamiliar. But they make me feel interested because I had never gone to other countries before I came here. There are five people in my family. They are my father, my mother, my old brother, my old sister and me. But I live here with my big brother now. My hobbies are listening to music, watching movies, playing basketball, surfing the Internet and playing flute. I have a lot of hobbies, but I don't think that I have outstanding talents. I have liked many kinds of pets since I was young. So, I am happy whenever I see rabbits on the grass on campus.
