1. Hello, please introduce yourself first.
Hello, I'm Park Jeong-hwan, majoring in business administration at Sungkyunkwan University. I completed my bachelor's degree with a senior graduation from business school by maintaining good academic performance during the 8th semester and winning the Business School Performance Excellence Award and Sungkyunkwan's Best Diploma Award at the degree conference in August this year. I'm so proud to be part of this interview^^
2. I heard that you won the dean's award in the 2021 Degree Award for Excellence in Performance/Research. Please give us a brief acceptance speech.
I ran with great greed for my academic performance every semester, and I felt like I received it as a result of my efforts, so I was very satisfied with the graduation ceremony. Of course, I was very proud and happy when I heard that I received the dean's award, and it was even more meaningful in that I believed in my own potential again at a time when I was about to take on a bigger challenge in the future. As soon as confidence declined due to lack of visible results during the career preparation period after graduation, it became a big driving force in studying for a long time toward the dream of becoming a legal professional. One regrettable thing is that I couldn't receive the award in person because I attended the offline graduation ceremony due to COVID-19.

3. Is there any indoor and outdoor activities that you participated in when you were an undergraduate? Please introduce the most memorable activities
Immediately after entering college, I entered the b-friendz of the Business School Association in March and found it very rewarding in the process of helping my business classmates' needs for a year. In particular, the most memorable project is the "one-on-one matching project for group volunteer activities", which matches the demand for volunteer work and the supply of students. In connection with the Jongno-gu Volunteer Center, I tried to help business school students do regular volunteer activities in Munmyo and Gwanghwamun by class. It was the activity that gave the greatest sense of accomplishment in that it allowed social service to promote friendship between classmates. In addition, in order to solve the financial burden of students due to major books during student council activities, the 'major flea market' was activated to trade with each other at reasonable prices, forming a small network of sharing in the school. The fact that we can maximize the convenience and happiness of our classmates has been the driving force behind our sense of mission.
After the 8th semester, I served as a policy intern in the National Assembly of Korea and assisted in the legislative process. In particular, we have requested a 'Partial Amendment to the Shipping Act' that subsidizes the entire fare so that preschoolers in islands can use coastal passenger ships free of charge. I was proud that I could actually help the common people by proposing a policy that could reduce the burden of childcare costs and private shipping companies at the same time.

4. You have received several excellent grades scholarships, do you have your own secret?
In this regard, I have received stepping stone scholarships, six excellent grades, and four Dean's List, so I think I can give you more realistic advice. I think it's something that many juniors are curious about^^
First of all, I think it is a basic and important step to carefully prepare for the 'class application' a step you choose, among various major and liberal arts subjects and professors who teach them. I think it is essential to carefully examine the lecture reviews and lecture plans and find classes that suit your interests and strengths.
Next, it was most important to put the intensity of efforts to invest in business major, law subject, and liberal arts subject in a balanced manner. While there are subjects that you can understand well even if you spend relatively little time on, there are subjects with strong memory volatility such as majors and laws, so I have invested more time in these subjects. To be specific, I tried to think of highly volatile subjects in my head during the extra time spent along during work, such as using public transportation. Rather than taking a close look, it is recommended to follow the entire progress quickly and study the easily forgotten parts again.
In addition, there is a common way to apply it to all subjects, I studied with a focus on the structure and connectivity between details before memorizing them. It's good to open a book recklessly and memorize it exactly for each part, but if you can think structurally about how many chapters and which sub-topics you belong to, you can write logical answers especially in multiple choices and descriptions.
5. What are your future careers and goals?
Earlier, I decided on my dream career as a legal professional, and after graduation, I am currently trying to go to law school. Recently, I went to the Seoul High Court and watched civil and criminal trials, seeing the reality that ordinary people who are ignorant of the law are not protected by the law because they do not learn the law separately. I want to be a legal professional who works hard to resolve disputes smoothly and help them. Since one legal provision has a great influence on the lives of countless people, I want to grow into a legal professional who provides legal advice with a heavy responsibility.
6. Lastly, please give advice to your classmates at the business school.
I recommend you to meet not only business school students but also people with dreams in various fields and find your own identity and strengths during college life. Since each individual has a different opportunity and time to have a dream, I don't think it would be helpful to give direct advice to my classmates that 'this kind of activity will do better'. I think there will be friends of the type who find the best way to suit their aptitude in the process of dividing time between study and multiple activities, while friends who understand the path they want clearly and prepare intensively. Don't be too impatient, understand for yourself what kind of person I am, and I hope you will develop your career path in a way that suits your dream.
