I led a very simple life: Study, Church, Family, repeating, repeating: Like deciples of Jesus: Wake up eating, reading, again eating, studying, family and church. Happy. One could say, a model life. The result was that I had excellent grades.
When I became 6th Grade student, with this desire to want to sincerely give glory to God, I prayed to obtain the first place in all the school. The first answer from God is that, God removed my early morning (dawn) sleeping. God helped me to wake up in the dawn (early morning.) Hence, I could obtain four extra hours of study time. The second answer is that God gave me the amazing ability to concentrate on study. For example, at that time, I could use five minutes as if it were ten hours. So I could obtain the first or top prize of the whole school. At that time, we had many big exams, even every month in all subjects, like the Iowa tests in all subjects. And in the mid-terms and final exams. In conclusion, I was allowed to be the student to carry the school flag during the school concluding Commencement Exercises, which was also part of the concluding sports festival. This picture of me became part of the year's Yearbook.
At that time, I studied very hard, without sleeping. Through this experience, I had realized that the most important things is that the passion to move Heaven's heart, or to inspire Heaven -- Heaven knows very well about passion. The most important thing is that I had realized that Heaven knows very well about passion, God remembers very well about the passionate heart of a person. I learned that one's passion can make Heaven move.
The difference between first score students and the poor score students is very very small, I realized. Looks like one paper thin gap, or even smaller than that. That means that everybody can become an excellent student. Everybody who has a passion to make Heaven inspired can accomplish. Through this realization, I always support students who suffer with low grades, or financial problems. I had a role as a mentor or counselor to them.
Resembling my biological father, I like to encourage other people, and applaud or brag for other people. I like to save or reclaim people. When people are dying, I like to revive them, so they regain energy. The feeling of sharing, and comforting someone, empathizing with them, That is my father's style, and mine also. To give them courage, and vision. I always ask people, what is your dream? That is my habit. When I get the opportunity to talk with a friend, I always try to say, their advantageous or good side to them. I enjoy this. Through my encouragement, some people obtained an amazing upgrade of score. Through this experience, I realized how great and is positive energy and positive talk.
In Middle School it was my dream to enter into the Special high school. This dream gave me motivation to study hard. So throughout middle school I continuously earned top grades. In Korean schools, they have a free study period after class was finished. During that time many teachers asked me to become a kind of "assistant teacher" since many students liked me and I was a good model so I could teach the other students.
Some students expressed gratitude to me for doing this because the way I explained was easier to understand than the teacher.
I always followed the Bible, and I had a good conscience at that time. So in my third year of Middle School I was appointed as the leader of the group in our school whose job was to lead the moral and legal situation of the students in the school. This was a group that was like an intermediary for students who had some kind of trouble and we were there instead of having the law or the police intervene. I received a lot of love from the students by activating through this role. In conclusion by the request of all students and teacher they asked my mother to become a teacher for one day for my class. This was a good opportunity for her to share with all the students the goodness and Grace of God. Finally, when I graduated, I received many different awards.
I passed the entrance exam for the Special High School. Through this experience I received an answer from God. Right after hearing this news, I went immediately to the church. I met God there personally. I was unable to control my tears. God showed me my whole life story. Realizing the tremendous grace of God, I could not stop my tears. I realized that God had always been listening to my small voice, even my complaints; God was always listening. I decided to stop crying, but it was very difficult. Then I realized that the tears were not mine, but they were God's tears, God crying within me. That was an amazing realization for me. The one who was crying in my mind, that was not me. It was God. I felt, Wow, God is crying! And He is crying for me! Then God whispered to me, "How long I have waited for you! I have always been waiting for you, for you to realize my love! When you studied in your room alone, I was always right there with you Whenever you felt lonely, and whenever you were crying, I was always right there with you. This moment with God changed my whole life. From then on my life really became a God-centered life.
After this, I joined a Missionary group and dedicated my life to God. I took care of neighbors who were in need. At this time still a high school student. I took care of my neighbors and my classmates. In High School I decided to change the way I gave glory to God. Before, the way to give glory to God was to get first place in my studies. In High School, Now instead, I learned a new way to bring Him glory. This was through a life of service and charity work. I would make effort to get first place in service. I always sacrificed to serve people around me. I always yielded to people. In my second year of high school I received the model student award representing the whole school from the Principal of the school.
At that time my friend defined my life as "holy and humble".
After graduating high school, the life of adulthood was also the same, "Holy Life Citizen". God's Word and Holy life was my compass. I had focused on service work, particularly elderly people who were single and living alone and also voluntary medical service for people who lived in rural areas. I had focused on these activities for eight years. I received many scholarships for University. I was on the Praise and Worship Team and appeared on TV many times as the main singer. I worked in KIST (Korean Institute of Science and Technology) in Seoul for a very short time. I worked in DNA filtering in the brain research lab. Doing this for a little while, I realized this was not my life dream, it was not my destiny. So from then I decided to change my life path. I realized I like meeting with politicians and global leaders, That is my real character and my real passion. So I felt I should become a politician. I started studying international relations and politics, and diplomacy. I immersed myself into that world. I started working in the UN International Department's Information Center located in Samsung Digital Library. At that time I read many scholarly journals related with the UN International Department., Through reading these I really developed a keen interest in this field. As a Korean University Diplomatic Student Organization member Jeong Hoon Kim (Secretary of President of KOICA, and Director of PR&Press Team of KOICA, MOFAT, Former the youngest secretary of press for president Lee Myung Bak .in Transition Team of President. In these days, he became best-seller by his book) At the time of the most recent presidential election I also helped President Lee Myung Bak in various ways.

Going in and out of the President's office, I tried to give glory to God. Together with the President's spokesman, Sun Gyu Pak, and Dae Jun Joo, who worked as the President/s security guard for twenty years, and the secretary of Human Resources for the President, Myung Shik Kim, we held a meeting to bless the President in his office, called Chong Wa Dae, or the Blue House in English.
I had supported KFP(Korea Forum For Progress) and had helped Dong Hyun,Yoon,Public Relation Director of KFP. He is my good friend.
