Changing my Life

     Have you ever been to the University of Kansas? When I have prepared to go there, I thought that it is very small, and there are not interesting events. However, it made me to change my views in several ways. 

     First, my research area has expanded. My major is Family Policy, and I earned Ph.D degree in 2010 in Korea. So far, I have focused on these fields before I came here. For example, in order to for Korea to solve low fertility problem, we have planned “Health Family Policy, the 5^th,” and I used to work for the Institute of Family Policy. However, When I came here, I have found some articles about American elderly living and met professors at social welfare. In particular, American middle-age has entered in Baby-Boomers in 2010, and I have been interested in this area. It is useful for me to research on Korean Baby-Boomers. Therefore, I might apply for Ph.D program in School of Social Welfare after I will finish at the AEC classes.

     Second, I have been experience about multiple cultures through at the AEC classes. I have been taking English classes since January in 2012. Although there are many multicultural families in Korea, I have felt various languages, religions, and custom. For instance, lately, I have been studying with Indonesian friends. Even though it is summer, they do not wear short-leaved shirt because of religion. When I met them, I do not understand, but I know that why the religion affects how to wear clothes for them. For this reason, my opinion has changed, and I have been multiple cultures in the world.

     Finally, I have been saving money since January in 2012. I was a Research Associate Professor before I came here. At that time, I eared money by myself and could buy everything. However, I have bought a cheaper lately. For example, when I went to Walmart, I could not purchase a new air conditioner because it was expensive. Due to the fact that I do not work, I have to save money and can not spend money.

     In conclusion, my views which were experienced at the University of Kansas has changed positivly since I arrived here.

Cause-effect : Thyroid

Thyroid

             Have you ever heard Thyroid? or do you have any illness? I could not wake up early morning and do anything because I have been Thyroid. Before I have it, I wake up early, and every my life is so interesting. Since I have been Thyroid, I felt very tired. When I knew these features, I went to hospital in no time. Then I took blood test, and I waited my results. If there were not any obvious symptom in my body, I will not go there. However, because of extremely tiredness, I decided to go there. It was not temporary symptom. While I was waiting for result, I was scared. After I know that there is Thyroid in throat, I was sad. I have to take medicine every morning because I have Thyroid. If I will have a baby, I have to take it. Because of this illness, I am stressful, and every day, I feel tired. Therefore, I can not do everything and study hard. Nowadays, I am more tired than before. Therefore, I went to Watkins Hospital last week, I took blood test. Currently, I am waiting for result.
