To describe oneself to another is very important, because people who describe themselves can be shown to many people who have different thinking. They have no idea about people who meet each other for the first time, because it’s the first time, so if someone expresses just his or her good points, then people who are meeting them will be known just one aspect of them. And sometimes when people have to show ourselves for reasons, they seem to exaggerate their career and merits. That is the reason why people who want to express themselves to another should tell the truth. For this reasons I would like to describe myself very sincerely. My name is Jin Ho Lee, but most of my friends who were in Canada called me just Jin. I think it’s very easy to pronounce for foreigners. I was born in Seoul in 1983, but our family had to move to another city called Mokpo which is located in Jeonnam province very far from the Seoul at my age 8. In Mokpo I lived there for about 12 years because I had to finish my compulsory education. I spent most of my time in Mokpo and most of my friends are in this city. And as many people know Mokpo is small city, so it’s difficult to get out of this city to go to another good university which is in big city. And so it was to me. Anyway I’m attending Kyung Hee University fortunately. Now it’s a time to introduce my character. I’m a man of reason, and I’m so sensitive that sometimes a small problem can make me depressed. Nowadays I’m thinking about my future and marriage. Maybe it’s the main problems that I’m undergoing in recent years.

Sensitivity means that is very sensible, so the people who are very sensitive can be easily harmed by words which is containing nothing to the others. For example if someone says some jokes then sensitive person cannot accept it. They just take a word in its literal sense. Not only they will be harmed with it but also it can make people who are joking embarrassed. I don’t know whether it’s right or no. But I think I have to change this character a little bit because I don’t want make the other people confused, and it can be related with my future and marriage.

Future and marriage is one of the main topics of people who are in their late twenties. I’m also in late twenties. Most of Korean men who are not disabled should go to the Army, and it takes their 24 months. I also spent my time in the Army, and it was the heaviest time that I’ve ever experienced. Maybe it won’t be changed. After finish this two years, most of Korean including me start to think about there future and marriage because men are later than women who don’t have any obligation to go to the Army, and unfortunately I spent one more year than the others because I tried to go to better university. After finish our university course most of Korean men will reach their late twenties, and there’s no more time to spend to try daring attempt at great risk. This time is not just ours. We have responsible for our wife, children and parents. For these reason people are in their late twenties need to be stabled.

As has been demonstrated above, a little sensible character but not too much and future and marriage are the main thoughts what I’m thinking most importantly nowadays, because it can be related with other people. We live as a member of society, so what we do for us can have influence on the whole society, and that’s why these two things were chosen to me recently. I wish everything what is happening to me around will be good.
