Andrew Young Kim by Young Min Kim https://padlet.com/gogojls85/andrewkim Introduction for the Class Fall 2017 EDSC 310 en-us 2017-09-01 04:26:34 UTC 2025-12-18 07:14:28 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Lovecoffee.png Hello, my name is Andrew Kim. Nearly half of the people that I know call me “Young-Min,” which is my Korean name. I came from Korea about three months ago after the decision of pursuing my career in teaching. Hence, I am still adjusting myself to the new lifestyle in America. gogojls85 https://padlet.com/gogojls85/andrewkim/wish/184135239 2017-09-01 04:34:03 UTC https://padlet.com/gogojls85/andrewkim/wish/184135239 I was first drawn to teaching. There are several reasons, but the main cause that led me to take action to pursue teaching credential is that my director at the academy where I taught students in Korea told me that I have a talent for teaching. gogojls85 https://padlet.com/gogojls85/andrewkim/wish/184135517 2017-09-01 04:36:56 UTC https://padlet.com/gogojls85/andrewkim/wish/184135517 I am a graduate of Cal State Polytechnic, Pomona in Business Administration. After graduating from the university back in 2005, I had worked in banking for 5 years as a personal banker at Chase until I realized I should go back to Korea, where I am originally from, to teach students. gogojls85 https://padlet.com/gogojls85/andrewkim/wish/184135750 2017-09-01 04:39:16 UTC https://padlet.com/gogojls85/andrewkim/wish/184135750 When I am not working on college-related tasks, my older sister, Jane, takes me out to explore local itineraries in Orange County. The most recent place we visited was Las Brisas in Laguna Beach, where it is well known for the ocean views and brunch. I also work part-time at this small UPS store as a shipping clerk and notary. gogojls85 https://padlet.com/gogojls85/andrewkim/wish/184135913 2017-09-01 04:41:33 UTC https://padlet.com/gogojls85/andrewkim/wish/184135913 I plan to teach math in high school, and have to pass CSET in math and have been studying for it. I do not particularly excel in math, yet I do enjoy studying it. Back in high school, Mrs. Sherman and Mrs. Lee, my math teachers, inspired me to become a math teacher with their effective teaching. In addition, I wanted to become a teacher when I learned that California has a shortage of math teachers. gogojls85 https://padlet.com/gogojls85/andrewkim/wish/184135953 2017-09-01 04:42:14 UTC https://padlet.com/gogojls85/andrewkim/wish/184135953 This is where I am from! gogojls85 https://padlet.com/gogojls85/andrewkim/wish/184155394 2017-09-01 08:41:54 UTC https://padlet.com/gogojls85/andrewkim/wish/184155394
