From time to time, change decides problem of life and death. For example, in the case of chick, to pip egg is change. By the way, it means death soon if chick refuses this change.1
I am a person who fears change. Like a chick, if I must have broken egg, I will do worry more than hope, and fantasy about ‘When I pip this egg, what world will be outspreaded?’ There is a word called ‘Fear itself is a fearful thing’. Through this opportunity, I will try to fear that I fear the change, and challenge new things. I think that I, who meet from new place, can grow me.

There are many reasons why I apply to an exchange student program. First, I want to improve my English skills. (I realized that lack of my ability in English as I choose Life Science department in Handong University and take the class in 100% English several times) (해석불가). Since I take the English class, reading and listening skiils are being improved, but I still cannot speak the way that I mean. (내가 원하는대로 말하지못한다라고 표현하고싶으신거죠?) I heard that the most important factor of learning English is confidence. I think that I can break through my limit that I defined and can be helpful in my major class progressing in English, if I was faced with the environment that cannot but use English with confidence through the exchange student program. (위에것도 "정확하게는" 해석을 못하겠네요. 일단, 제가 약속이 있어서; 오늘은 여기까지만.. 언제까지 필요하신거죠?)
Second, I want to understand foreign culture and join with foreign friends. I am born and have lived in Korea continuously. It is all that I get back 3 times to short term mission trip in Japan that is an overseas. It was short period, but I could experience Japanese culture. I think that I may have good opportunity that understand foreign culture and join together with foreign friends through the exchange student program, like that I could learn culture and my view that see the world could widen through short term mission trip for short period. I fear change and like accustomed thing as said in front. However, I want to take part in all programs actively, learn their culture and introduce Handong University’s culture to them through this opportunity.
Finally, I expect social intercourse with foreign friends. In fact, I do not know well how I can get many things about Life Science that is my major through the exchange student program. However, I hope to can share my vision and each other’s vision which friends, who have same study in the other countries, are thinking. I hope to learn through them that I could not think, and to help them.
Although several months can be a short or long period of time, I want to have wider field of vision during that period. I want to see the world by wider field of vision. I think that challenging new things with fearful thrill is blessing in my 20s brilliant university season.
