I believe that almost of people have somthing important change their life especially in a postive way.For me the important things change my life is when I married.I think this is develope for many reasons.
First of all,eventhough I got married in earley age I think I learned how to resbonsible for my family particularey when I had a children ,this gave me a self confidence because I had to raise my kids and also to take care of my my family , and this efforts are not easy for me because I was in 20 years old and I have no experience about that.
Moreover,when I obtain a children I did not think about myself however I always think about the futur of my kids and how they have to get the best education so I decided to improve my self in many field especially in my studing to get the best therefore they will get the benefit as well as me .
In my opinion this is makes me more effective in my life because Im not live alone but I have a big responsibilities thereupone I have to change myself and a I have to acquire the best chance I will face it in my life and this is how the person invest the opportounities to change his life to the best.

However, these new experience led me to be domesticate to my family, and also led me to thought that I must maintain my family’s assets and properties. The difficulty of this situation was conceder a range of factors. These factors include my work, my father business, family’s properties, domestic chores, and compare between these factors. The most thing that I promise to do it is as my father help me to got my education and be what I am today, I will help my brothers and my sisters to get their education and support them as I can. The final I won’t accept that any of my brothers and sisters says our father was gave us a lot of money and you don’t. [/align][/B][/font][/size][/color][/font]
Many days have passed in my life, but none of them were similar to the day that I am going to talk about. In the beginning of that day, I thought that it will be a usual day such us the other days. Before this day, I was a careless guy who doesn’t care about rules and don’t respect law. I was driving over the speed limit and I gave my back to the traffic rules before that day.
I was going to the cinema trying to get to the cinema as fast as I can. But unfortunately, instead of going to the cinema I have been arrested because I passed the traffic red light.
Actually I don’t to tell you what exactly happened in the police station, because it was really embarrassing and feel so shame when I remember that day.
Despite of what happened in that day, I’ve really learned a lot of things. I’ve became a person who respects law and trying to advise my friends to do the same thing. It was really important day in my life.
Think about an important change in your life. What led to the change or helped cause it?
People have a lot of changes in their life. They may change when specific new motives are in front of them. Only after they find and pick up opportunities which will be advantages to them, they will be changed to be better. I've also met different moments which are very attractive to me. Sometimes I used to regret what I decided something wrong at an important moment. However, I usually took only good chances for me, and was satisfied with my decision.
The most important change in my life was what I came to the USA by myself from Korea for the first time in 2002 when I was a senior in university. Planning to begin to work, I had met many people in my fields to ask advices of them. Some of them advised me not to study English anymore because English skill was not required to be a fashion designer which was my goal at that time. Others said that English is the basis of every language in every field, and encouraged me to study more in the USA. They also advised me to have various experiences in other countries before starting working as it as possible. Especially, the New York City which I would like to go is the one of the biggest cities for fashion. Finally, I planed to study English in the NYC for a year rather than working in Korea as soon as I graduated. My personality was totally changed during the time. What I got advantages living in NYC alone were much more than just improving English skill.
I felt the each people in the NYC were very characteristic, positive, and free. Almost all of them seemed like not to care about how others estimated their features. No special popular style was in their outlook. Everybody was different, and had own their style. It was so exciting thing contrasted to Korean women. They looked like almost same because they usually followed the popular fashion trends in every seasons. I had also been familiar with the similar fashion style between every woman in Korea, but I changed a lot after I lived in the NYC with them, so I lost my interest in normal, formal, and regular styles which had been my favorite until before I came to the USA. I became to love unique, vivid, and detailed things. This change affected my favorite fashion style too, so the company which had been my favorite one since high school student was on the bottom of my interest when I chose my first job after I came back to Korea.
Eventually, I totally changed living in the USA by myself. From improvement of English skill, having experiences in a fashion company in the USA, studying in FIT in which almost all of the students who are in fashion field hope to study, and becoming a person who has a wider view for everything than when I was in Korea.
I wanted to be a baseball player when I was a middle school student because I was interested in sport. One day, I decided to give up becoming a baseball player because I didn't have a strong frame and my economic power wasn't enough to become a baseball player. Furthermore, my family member couldn’t reach a consensus. After full consideration, I have changed my decision to be a baseball player. Nevertheless, I have had a deep affection for sports. That’s why I took a growing interest in the sports industries such as management and agents. Maybe, I could do that, because of the movie ‘jerry Maguire’ I admit it helped and motivated me to achieve obtainable goal. Sometimes, when I am not conscious of my achievement, I try to see the movie ‘Jerry Maguire’
