A person who I admire or respect.

Blog Post #2 Assignment

Who is this?

     I admire Ban Ki-moon who is UN Secretary-General. He was born in Eumseong-gun Chungcheongbuk-do, in 1944. His famliy moved to Chungju where he was raised. When he was child, his father had a own business. However the business went bankrupt so his family became poor. When he was six, unfortunately there was Korean war. So his famliy was going poorer than before. Even though he was in these situation, he had strong passion for learning English. As a result, he entered Seoul National University for studying International Relations and he received a B.A. in 1970. After that he earned a Master of Public Administration at Harvard University which is John F. Kennedy School of Government in 1985. Also he earned Master degree of Laws at University of Malta on 22 April 2009 and receiced an honorary degree of Doctor of Laws at University of Washington in 2009.
And then he was the Foreign Minister of the Republic of Korea from 2004 to 2006. Now he is UN Secretary-General.

Why do I respect him?
     I don't admire his position. I want to talk about his personalities. When I read a book about him which is 'Study as a fool, dream as a genius'(I'm not sure exactly, the title is Korean.) He always try to learn somethings. For instance, he is native Korean but he speaks English, German, French, and Japanese. When I knew that I was surprised. I thought even though he is an old man, his passion of learning foreign languege is great.
     Also he make full use of remained time effectively. In addition, he has good relationship with people, is very modest, is always willing to help somebody etc. I can't say everything.
I think there are many things to learn from him. So I usually think about his attitudes when I do something.
I'm totally sure it's going to be good for me.

What am I going to do?
     I'm senior now, I have a lot of things to do. I know there are some hardship and trouble. However I'll struggle by myself with what I learned from UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon. I'll be necessary person in the society and world. I hope Ban is healthy and strong for a long time.
