Changing and Challenge Times

I'm an ESL student who lives in Seattle. My hometown is South Korea. These days, my life style has changed because I am now a student. Before deciding to become a student again, I had worked in computer science area for a long time after graduating from college. I wanted to take on new challenges to achieve my life goals; therefore, I put my job on hold, and departed to Seattle for my new experience.

I get up early in the morning because I have to prepare for the day, pack up my homework, get ready a school test, etc. It is very interesting to me because when I went to work, I got up much later, and still made it to work on time.

Also, I usually wore a formal dress when I went to my company; however, today I usually wear casual dress. It is very comfortable and it reminds me of when I was a college student.

Additionally, my big change is my position as one of society member. First of all, I am an international student and I respect the new environments such as, homework, test, attendence. At work, I was the project manager. I always led many project teams or small groups and taught computer programming to many others; however, today, my role has changed as an educatee. In order to learn English, jofully, I accepted this situation and it is one of my delight.

Furthermore, I will study for two years in the U.S and maybe study the "Business Information Technology" at SCCC. I expect my these challenge times to change my life. From the result of efforts, I will accomplish my last goal in my life.
