Self Introduction : Jiae Kim

Hello everybody. My name is Jiae Kim. As you may recognize by my last name, I am from South Korea. Unlike you guys I am a first-year Ph.D-student in the mathematics department here at the Ohio State University.

I am a little bit excited about taking this course. I haven't taken any composition class so far and never wrote any essay even in my native language. So I hope I can learn lots of things about writting through this course.

Let me talk a little bit about myself. I grew up in Incheon located right next to Seoul, the capital of South Korea. Incheon is located in west side of South Korea, so I had had a lot of chance to get a beautiful beach whenever I want. It took only 20 minutes to get there from my home. Even though I didn't swim in the ocean, I pretty enjoyed night view of the beach. So when I decided to study at Ohio State University, I was slightly disappointed about losing a chance to go to a beach. Now I am getting used to the weather and scenery of Ohio.

Now I'd like to talk about my life at Ohio State University. As a graduate student in mathematics department, especially as a teaching assistant, I am grading and tutoring undergraduate students. My duties are demanding for me, I sometimes get depressed. However try to make my mind refreshed right away and remind how thankful OSU is for giving me a generous opportunity. I hope everyone enjoy this class and get to know each other.
