Nice To Meet You:)


Hello, my name is Kyeong Rok Choi, a student who is taking the 'interesting-looking' class, 'Advanced English Writing', at KAIST. I was happy to meet all of you in the first class.(The leftside, don't surprise about the different hair length compared to current hair. I visited barbor shop last weak to cut my hair =)

In contrast to your expectation, I'm not an adult and not a normal student in KAIST. I'm a 17-year-old boy(American--or European--age, of course) and a student of 'Korea Science Academy of KAIST' which is a gifted school oriented to science and mathematics. Then why am I in the writing class in KAIST? It's because I'm attending a special program called 'Honor's Program.' As a participant of this program, I'm spending the last semester in high school. But please never regard me as a foreigner or non-KAISTian-- I have both my stdent ID and an ID card!!

I'm really interested in biology--but it doesn't mean that I don't like other subjects; I love all the scientific subjects and even the arts, and the humanities! Last year, I conducted research on ncRNA at the lab of professor Young Hoon Lee at KAIST, and until last summer vacation, I conducted graduation research on cell aggregation at KSA. My another interest in biological area is brain science. I started learning brain science since last year, and I attended an international brain science competition about a month ago. Without science, I also love phylosophy and psychology, and really interested in learning foreing languages, such as French, Chinese, German and so on...

My hobbies... there are so many things. I love reading literatures, drawing pictures, watching movies, playing musical instrumets... there are so many favorite things to enjoy during my free time. But a problems is that: I have not enough free time to enjoy those fascinating things because of busy schedules of classes and research. Anyway, there are more hobbies I'd love to do. I like playing basket ball and badminton. Since about few days ago, I started learning tennis--it's really fun! I'm planning to learn swimming during next winter vacation!!

It was a long story, wasn't it? I'd like to have fun classes and spend great time with you in the class:) Again, nice to meet you!
