Spring, summer, fall and winter. That is the way to divide one year, which is used worldwide, depending on the change of climate. But in Korea, a more detailed division into 24 parts, which is called 24-Julgi, has been used for a long time.

 

Baekro, one of the 24-Julgi, that means 'pearls of dew', is what we’re going to talk about. Around Baekro, Sep. 7, clear and moderate days make crops ripen.

 

“There is no need to check crops after Baekro.”  It is the old saying that highlights the importance of Baekro in growing crops. Because Baekro is the period for growing crops, it is top priority to have an ear of rice at least until Baekro.

As Baekro is an important moment for crops, what is the Backro moment in the life of Jeju-NU students?

My special experience during summer

 

During this summer vacation, I sold drinks and crackers at Top-dong, coast roads and beaches. At first I thought I can earn a lot of money but opening a stall on the street was quite tough. Many street vendors yelled at me. As a result, I totally became bankrupt. It was just a small business but an invaluable experience. Failure is but the threshold of success. I will never be afraid of failure again and keep challenging. I think that is my secret to succeed.

After suffering comes happiness

 

Each person's life will have a few turning points. The one that gave me the greatest change, I'm afraid, happened when I was 13. Although from childhood I know Mongols are good at riding, I was not interested in horses. When 13 years old, I had watched a fantastic acrobatics on the horses which made me have a new understanding of riding.          

 

Looking at the people doing all kinds of action on the horseback, I couldn't help but want to be with them. I got a chance to participate in the acrobatic show training, and I succeeded to make it through one year's hard practice, which was a dream come true. I quite enjoy every minute on stage. From then on I learned, it is only through the efforts to obtain happiness that is the true happiness. I will always be happy.

What is your turning point in your life?

 

I entered university a year later than most of others who are in the same age. When my friends enjoy university life, I had to study for Korean SAT. But still, I didn't know where I heading to. There are no goals, or dreams in my life.  Luckily, a great opportunity came to me and it changed my life. After the exam, I got a part time job at JIBS, a broadcasting company in Jeju, and finally realized that is the exact thing that I want to. Thanks to the opportunity in JIBS, now I am working at broadcasting in Jeju-NU to be broadcasting engineer.

Communication with the world!

 

Since my start in JEBS (Jeju-NU Educational Broadcasting System) as a member of the press section to my present position of news chief, I have eagerly wanted to communicate with the world I live in. I feel a sense of accomplishment in my work when I can uncover the facts of school matters and deliver this news to students. Broadcasting work can be tiring, but I have always enjoyed communicating with people and learning about the stories of campus. I believe this work has helped me grow into the woman I am today. I have always lived by my motto, ‘Communication with the world!’
