<My brother, my compass>

I was sitting in a café behind our school. While I was waiting him and killing some time
with my cellphone, Jae Ho entered the café with his suitcase. Jae Ho was wearing sleek neat
inside his coat. He pursues neat dress style which reflects his lifestyle. He ordered
Americano which is same as mine and sat in front of me with gentle smile.
The reason why I chose Jae Ho as my interviewee is because he is the one whom
I know and respect most. As I explained about his brief profile in the outline sheet I
had submitted, he is an alumni of HUFS. He majored English interpretation and translation in
HUFS College of English. I was with him in his HUFS graduation ceremony. And I am
seeing him just about to early graduate HUFS graduate school and get a master's degree. He
is now studying language(English) mechanics.
As he has not enough time, I started interview rapidly. Firstly, I asked "Please explain about
your major in graduate school and how will you gonna apply your major in your future career?" He said "what I
am studying is easily speaking, a collaboration between computer program and language."
When I was a freshman, I visited his home many times and saw him doing something looks
like computer programing. "It usually deals with analyzing what human says and translating it
into it's own computer code and proceed it into certain result.", He continued. "But I think I
am not gonna use what I am studying that much in my future career. Because I decided to enter a
enterprise and make some money first for future business what I have in mind." He kept it
secret what is in his mind.
He is a quite conservative man. Because he has lived apart from his parents from when he
was a freshman, he became very independent type of person. He has payed his tuition fee
all by himself and made his living by himself by tutoring students or working in academy.
So many students from our college admire him in that point. I always have wondered why
he doesn't get any support from his parents and lives by himself." He replied after a short
recitement, "Actually my father is 70 years old, quite more like a grandfather's age than my
father's age. I had difficulty communicating with him over that age barrier. My father didn't
understand my values and we always had conflicts. It was quite natural for me to get out of
my house and announce independent from my parent. Actually that helped me become a real
adult and study hard when I was an undergraduate." I nodded and understood thoroughly
why he has lived that life until now.
At last, I asked him for some advices about living valuable life. He became shy and said "I
am not that great person as you and your friends think. But I think I has lived quite
differently from my peers. As I said, I became independent from my parents early compared
to my friends. So I had
to earn money much more than my peers but instead, spend less time hanging out with
friends. I think that growing background made me lived quite conservative life and pursued
safe road. I studied hard and went to graduate school to assure my living. But I think it's not an
answer to life. I want you to experience more interesting things in life. Travel, love, and do
many other funny things in life. I think that things will make your fountain of originality and
creativity. And it will proceed to your future success. You can be a better adult than I am."
