I am a tax accountant and essayist.
I have got a Master of Business Administration, for which I took
a master's course at Yon Sei University. When I was in commercial high
school, I was just seventeen
years old. I was the only student, among approximately four hundred, who
got a hundred in the bookkeeping examination. When I was at the age of
nineteen, in the third grade of high school,
I won the grand prize in the school autumn writing contest. The
title of my essay was "Alma Mater"
Then, seven years later, as I was a young man aged twenty-six years, I
took a qualification examination for tax accountants. More than
four hundred candidates applied and only twenty-three applicants turned
out to be qualified. I was among those who were qualified.
Now, I have been self-em ployed
for twenty-five years as a certified tax accountant and have also been
active as a member of the Korean Essayist Association.
My parents provided me with good education and my elder brother got an
application form for me. He encouraged me to take a qualification
test to be a certified tax accountant. My father was a teacher and novelist.
He passed away when I turned just twenty three. He was blessed with
six sons and three daughters, among whom I was the fifth son of his.
