Road Casting
It feels like 2016 started a couple days ago, but time flies and now we are preparing for another new year. The Argus wondered what would be the most impressive memory to HUFSans this year and what they are going to do next year. Four HUFSans shared their own stories with The Argus.
Heo Sang-do, China, Dept. of Korean Studies ’15
My most memorable experience was when I became the first non-Korean president of my department. It was a great new challenge for me. I have made many friends and learned many things from this. This winter, I plan to complete a course in teaching to acquire a teaching certificate for Korean language. Actually, I have made a lot of effort toward this. I have learned a lot of Korean by doing part time jobs in Korea. In the future, I want to study more and become a good Korean language professor.
Park Shin-hyung, Korea, Dept. of Greek Studies and
Bulgarian Studies ’15
This summer I went backpacking around Europe with my friend. It was so awesome that it felt like a midsummer night’s dream. While traveling, I have made a lot of special and unforgettable memories that will last a lifetime. Also, I will be doing an internship in the embassy at the end of this year. I am glad to take a first step to become a diplomat. After that, I am going to the United States. for six months to study. I am already excited to go there. I think it will be a good experience for my future.
Lee Jee-won, Korea, Dept. of English for International Conferences and Communication ’15
In the beginning of this year, I had a great opportunity to join an international non-profit organization, AIESEC Korea. Through various conferences in which I discussed social issues with foreign students, I could broaden my perspective as well as come up with practical and meaningful solutions on an individual level. The most recent meeting I attended was in regard to Energy Security out of Sustainable Development Goals set by the United Nations. AIESEC helped me draft specific solutions for social matters, not merely shifting the responsibilities to companies and governments.
Sara Ito, Japan, Exchange Student
The summer of 2016 was very special to me. A friend of mine recommended a Korea-Japan exchange program named “Future Leaders.” Although I was nervous at first, students participating in the program kindly approached me. We soon became close friends and went around tourist attractions like Myeong-dong and Gwanghwamun. Communication did not matter at all because we had a common interest in K-Pop, K-dramas and other Hallyu culture, which we gladly chatted about. It was a worthwhile activity that I strongly recommend to other students.
Watch for The Argus reporters on campus. The Argus will be casting you.
