Hi, I originally came from South Korea to study at
UC Riverside, in February in 1983. One and a half years
later, I became a paraplegic due to an accidental gun-shot
injury during a robbery in Los Angeles. This horrible
accident turned my life completely up -side down. However,
four years later I returned to college to keep my life
moving forward.
After many years of hard work, I finally graduated from
California State University at Los Angeles in 1997 and
earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Accounting. Later,
my curiosity and interest in computer technology led
me to pursue a new career as a web master. I completed
the Web Programmer Certificate Program in California
Polytechnical, Pomona in 1999. I am a freelance web
developer now and really enjoy designing web pages and
programming for clients.
With a new thirst for life and learning, I entered the
master's program in College of Education Foundations
at California State University at Los Angeles. My emphasis
area is in Computer Technology in Education. My objective
now is to become a computer instructor. Furthermore,
I want to organize a non-profit computer education center,
funded by grants and gifts, in my Korean community to
provide job skills to people with disabilities and to
low income families with language barriers.
Speaking
of families, I have been happily married for the past
6 years. We have no children. My wife also came from
South Korea. I had to wait for a while before my bride
decided to marry me. Before she finally said yes to
me , we exchanged love letters for the two and a half
years. We married in Las Vegas in October, 1996. Know
what? I think I am really blessed to have her.
