  • 안녕하세요! 내 이름은 한나입니다 means "Hello! My name is Hanna." :)

  • I've read so many mangas and watch animes. I think generally the main charecters of those mangas and animes are shy high school students that have no friends. Because most of the mangas and animes are for those kind of students who have diffuculties in their school life and they publish mangas and animes to make them happy when they read or watch it....

  • I am good at organization but sometimes I fail at communication and leadership skills. I think it's because I don't feel really confident to share my ideas.

  • In my opinion career is about how you can help people. Even when you only have just a company through employing someone you can help someone also their family. So it's all about helping other with your strenght. That's why I want to get a perfect career for helping more and more people in this world.

  • I think in the past people more want to make money with hard working because it was hard to get money and people was giving all efforts they can. But now people are getting jobs which are no need any effort. For example many people are doing their job with sitting on computer all day. And I think that makes people so lazy.

  • First, I don't really have any experiences. When I am at high school, our teacher was telling us to write something about future and I was writing short articles for this tasks. That was my only experiences.
