Jae Lee
COM 101 – ND
Education has had a major impact on my life but before I get to that, let me start off by giving a brief introduction of myself. My full name is Jae Hyun Lee but I like to be called Jae. My family came here from Korea when I was 2 years old. Having grown up in Queens almost my whole life, I developed a “New York” lifestyle where the tempo of everything I do is fast paced. I used to not be able to communicate well with people who I am unfamiliar with but that has gotten better through the years as I got comfortable speaking to whomever.
My overall education experience has felt like a developing relationship between a girl and a boy. In the beginning, I had no desire for education but as time grew, I found a motivation for success and that has played a major role in my life. Another key part that played a big role were my teachers/professors. The ability of how well the teacher or professor can communicate with students normally judges the grades I receive, but luckily I have ran into many professors with great communication skills.
One of my biggest weaknesses is the ability to not communicate well during certain situations. Sometimes what I am thinking in my head does not translate to how I want it to come out. Also when I try to explain or describe something in detail to try to sound very professional, the right words just would not seem to come out.

Who You Are By Mike Hartwig

Essay about Who Are You?

WHO ARE YOU? Back in the 1820’s and 1830’s a new religious and philosophical movement began to take shape in the eastern part of the United States.

So, it was with low hopes that I began reading William E. Combs’s book “Who Told You That You Were Naked?” -- the latest theologian to weigh in on the most hackneyed topic since Kate Middleton’s wardrobe. I was wrong. The man has something to say.

To Be Careful Who You Trust In Machiavelli

Andrew Tanyous One of Machiavelli’s advices to all leaders is to be careful who you trust. Machiavelli states: "... He who is the cause of another becoming powerful is ruined; because that predominance has been brought about by astuteness or else by force, and both are distrusted by him who has been raised to power" (229-33). It is proven all over the history that treason comes from people who were most trusted by their leaders. On the other side some people say that a strong rule is build by the…

I M Nobody Who Are You Analysis

Dickinson’s I’m Nobody, Who are you? The poem “I’m Nobody! Who are you?” by Emily Dickinson establishes a feeling that can rarely be expressed without the use of imagery.

We all wonder who we are, why we…
