I am a mum with two kids who are nine years old girl and six years old boy. After married and kids were young, I haven't had a time to look after myself. Once kids went to school, I had more time to think about life. After much thought, I thought I might like to be interested in web design and development. Now I am here to begin my journey in Dev Academy. When I studied at Yoobee School of Design, we had a team project to design a tracking App. There were three members in our teams and we had a weeks to finish the project. We divided it into three different roles and we become a leader of each roles. End of the first week, we heard that one of our team number's mum was in the hospital and her conditions wasn't good so our team member had to go to Auckland. We all understand her situation so that me and another team member to extra works. It can be quite a hard situation in our team, because of my personal values to work hard, working in a team, and having sympathy towards the personal needs of one of the members, it was so much of an issue to me. Another time, we had a personal project for a packaging design for a baby product. I found a really nice design pattern from a Korean baby product. I was quite tempted to copy it. However, I wasn't comfortable deep within. Due to my ethical view, I decided not to copy this design, instead I designed my own unique packaging design. It wasn't as nice as the other design, but I was happy and satisfied with my own design from my own research and effort.
My Korean culture is family orientated and has an emphases on communal living. Also I've learnt to have an attitude to respect the elders. On top of this, we have a hard working culture. Since I was young I spent a lot of time with not only my family but also relatives. In such environment I've spontaneously learnt to care for others, have a sympathetic heart and a view to always spend time together. Although having a big family cause us to be comparative, we do it to have fun and we do it out of love.
