Then, why don't you use the government-funded child care service? 

   

Child care service is a service where a child caregiver visits a double-income family with children under the age of 12 and takes care of the child.

   

Some of the expenses are supported by the government according to income standards, so they are available at a relatively small cost.

   

There are four types of child care services, part-time and full-time. Part-time care is divided into general types, which are care-oriented services, and comprehensive types that support household activities in the form that children under 12 use for as long as they need from three months old.

   

In addition, there is a type of special support for children with infectious diseases that helps protect children who have contracted infectious diseases at home. The cost of the charge will be different even if you use the same service in the form of government support and personal charge. 

   

Only families with a median income of 150% or less are eligible for support among families with job openings, working families, disabled parents, and multi-child families. Lastly, you can apply for the child care service through the child care website.

   

   

First, I think my sincerity this semester was one of my big strong points. Sincerity may seem natural, but it is actually a very difficult element to maintain. Especially in the current chaotic Covid-19 situation, maintaining a diligent mentality is a very difficult task. So, I'm very proud that I've never been absent or late for classes in these circumstances, and I've attended all classes in good health and sincerity. Also, not only is my sincerity in attendance, but I also tried to maintain my sincerity in myself. As an example, I have made it a habit to personally record each week's class contents and assignments and save them in my computer file. Through this habit, I was able to review and revise my assignments from time to time and eventually submit more complete assignments to the professor. Through these processes, I was able to grow greatly, and I realized that living more faithfully than others by investing just a few more minutes could come as a huge difference in the future. I want to give a good score to myself for achieving this enlightenment while maintaining my sincerity.

   

Second, I volunteered to play a role as a leader in this semester's group discussions. At first, it was a huge challenge for me, but by the end of the semester, it became one of my strong points. In fact, I volunteered to play a role as a leader thanks to Reflection Time last semester. Reflecting on my discussion activities through Reflection Time, I thought I should play a role as the leader of the group discussion this semester. And this idea eventually became the driving force behind my growth. As a leader, I asked a number of questions to elicit the opinions and thoughts of my group members, constantly presented my opinions and thoughts on the topic, and was responsible for summarizing the opinions of the group. Also, I continued to encourage members to engage in aggressive, active discussions. Of course, despite these efforts, I have been very embarrassed by some of the members who are not actively involved in the discussions. Furthermore, I was usually in a position of seniority as well as a group leader, so I could feel that there were some students who thought that I would lead the discussions and solve the problems naturally. These points were sometimes very burdensome, but I thought overcoming these burdens and problems was also one of the challenges as a leader. As a result, after overcoming all of my activities and burdens as a leader, I was confident that my active attitude had greatly grown me as a leader and as a human being. As I said above, these experiences through challenges have now become a strong point for me, and I will try to become a person who can solve problems and situations by utilizing these experiences in the future.

   

Third, I have consistently reflected on my achievements throughout the semester and put great importance on Reflection time. And I think these factors are one of my great strengths. I have a very urgent personality, so I really need to check myself like this. As I said above, I have my own organized assignment files, so I have constantly reviewed and checked my achievements on a daily basis. Occasionally, I had time to access my fellow students' padlets and reflect on the shortcomings of my achievements, comparing their achievements with mine. Moreover, since I have volunteered to play a role as a group leader this semester, I have been reflecting on whether I have harmed the group members as a leader or ignored their opinions after the group discussion class. In addition to these efforts to reflect on myself, I considered the Mid-term Reflection provided by the professor very important. Through the Mid-term Reflection Time, I was able to realize my mistakes in the first half of the semester and organize what strengths to maximize and what weaknesses to overcome for the rest of the semester. Also, through these processes, I realized that reflection is a very important factor, and that continuous reflection can lead my future in a positive direction. In particular, I could learn that if I ran forward in a hurry, there would be mistakes, but only when I had time to reflect on my achievements, it would be an opportunity for further development. I want to give myself a big grade in that this semester was an opportunity for my attitude of reflection to become one of my strengths.

   

As a result, I was able to achieve a lot of growth and achievement on my own this semester thanks to these strengths and efforts. Of course, there were moments when I made mistakes, but I think the fact that I knew the importance of my strengths, continued to challenge, and strived to maximize them is the basis for me to get more than medium grades this semester. Listening to the professor's class for a year, I have always thought about how I can do better, and I can be proud that I have made many trivial efforts in addition to the above three reasons. There have been a lot of hard times, but I want to thank myself for overcoming everything and gaining so many strengths and thank Professor Maria for providing this opportunity.
