When I was a child, I felt that my parents did not pressure me much to become someone that they wanted me to be. They tended to let me choose whatever I felt was best for me. That’s why I have lots of dream jobs back then including becoming a president or a minister of culture. In reality, I chose a very different career path. I entered a vocational high school with a major in fashion. After graduated, I realized that fashion was not my passion, and I decided to work in the food and beverage industry to be more specific I work in a restaurant. From what I have seen, successful people in this industry have long-term experience work and at that time, I never thought about continuing my education.
In 2020, the world was hit by the COVID-19 pandemic. The place where I worked lasted only 8 months before going bankrupt, and I lost my job. I tried to start a business by selling my cooking using the knowledge that I had, but it was not enough because of my lack of knowledge to manage finances. Eventually, I got another job at a Korean restaurant due to my Korean language skills, not my cooking skills. Since then, I began to realize that knowledge in just one industry was not enough. Last year, after watching many motivational videos from students studying in Korea and abroad, I started to think to continue my education and enter a college. By coincidence, a friend was looking for (a/some) student candidates to join his university and invited me to join Esa Unggul University that offers evening classes because I am currently working. As a result, I ended up studying there although being a student and a worker at the same time has made me very busy with little rest, however I’m happy to be doing this now.
