A Wonderful Change in Class 1-1

During the first day of GEO 9 (Winter Camp 2011) I discovered that our class was mostly composed of men. There were 10 men in our class, 8 from the Songsin Campus and 2 from Songsim Campus (including me).


When I found out about this, I felt terrible. Everyone felt terrible. Nobody had energy. The delicious Michel food tasted bland for us because we were all in low spirits.


This winter season’s GEO has discouraging student ratio. I found out that almost 9 of 10 students are men.

There was an average of one woman for every class and ours was not lucky enough to have any woman at all. Because of this, our class did not have a lot of energy. We were becoming tired very quickly.


But God truly exists! One day, He sent us an angel. Class 1-1 has our very own angel. Her name is Kim Jae Youn. She is 21 years old and lives in Sanbon. Jae Youn is an incoming sophomore Nursing major at the Songeui Campus. She told us she was not able to come to class earlier because of an examination she had to take at Songeui Campus last January 5th.


Jae Youn joined Class 1-1 on the afternoon of January 5th. Immediately after she arrived, our class felt a burst of energy. We got the power! She is the power of Class 1-1.


Because of Jae Youn, our class was energized. All of us eagerly went to class hoping we would be her partner for Professor Jason’s “Free Talking” or “Question of the Day” activities.


We gained new confidence in speaking in front of other people.


Class 1-1 members even won first place in the Group Presentation Contest. We beat teams from Level 2.


As GEO 9 (Winter 2011) ends on January 28th, Class 1-1 will have many lasting memories. All of which is because of our own sweet angel, Kim Jae Youn.
