WHO AM I ???

I am a sophomore at Kyung-Hee University College of Oriental Medicine. As do all other students, I have dreams as well as ideals. I enjoy listening to music and exercising. I also love to hang out with my friends. I can sometimes be carefree--in other words, I can be lazy and I can also sleep a lot. To become an oriental medicine doctor, however, I will study hard.

My peers tell me that I have a fierce first impression. In fact, they tell me it's hard to approach me at first. But as intimidating as I may seem, I am a very sensitive person. I cannot overlook any difficulties my peers are experiencing, so I try to help people out a lot. That is the precise reason why I decided to major in Oriental Medicine. I want to lend a helping hand to those in need of treatment.

I am from Daegu, and I used to live there with my parents and my younger sister. Ever since I was young, I wanted to become independent of my parents, mainly because I was always an independent individual with a love for secrecy and privacy. That is why I studied hard during my high school years; so I could get in to a university in Seoul. At first I faced were many difficulties, but now I am used to living alone and am enjoying life.

I am sometimes stressed out because of all the work I have to do as well as social relationships. I resolve such pressure by playing musical instruments or working out. When I am playing the drum I can forget about all my worries, which is what makes it such an enjoyable activity. Sometimes, when I feel uneasy, I just set off on my bicycle without any specific destination. I regain my peace of mind during my random ride through the city.

Because I am quite on the secretive side and am sensitive about other people's feelings, I don't express discontent often. In many cases, the discontent builds up inside me, so once I am mad, I transform into another person. Often times, this causes me to have huge disputes with my friends. I am also capricious and I tend to get tired of things pretty quickly. I ought to try to correct whatever flaws there are in my personality.

I haven't had many opportunities to think about who I am before I wrote this paper. Through repeated self-evaluation, I hope to become a better person.
