About Yumi

Hello, everyone.

I took the class, Lessons in Leadership and the Dynamic You, because, to be honest, I want to know who I am. Who am I? How am I different from other people? If people say I am odd/unique, how am I so? I always had this kind of questions. Leadership is second interest I have, not the first one. I am very interesting to find myself through this course. Of course, I want to learn about the leadership too because I know I do not have it. I want it to control myself. I want to be a leader of myself.

I would like to introduce Yumi.

Yumi was born in Seoul in 1992 as the first child. Her mother was Korean and her father was Japanese. Yumi grew up in two different cultures at same time.

She mainly lived in Japan. As she got older, Korean culture in her family got less and less. Thus she cannot speak Korean well.

When she was 8^th grade, she moved to Egypt for her father’s job for four years and a month. She went to Cairo Japanese School first, and moved to Cairo American College when she became 9^th grade. Yumi leaned English there. She came back to Japan and went to Japanese publish high school for last high school year.

She now lives in Keyaki dorm. Her family lives in Yokohama. She love Yokohama and believes that its her home town.

Yumi thinks her character is something natural that she had when she was born with, but how she think is based on her life which had many moving. She had gone three elementary schools, two middle schools, two high schools and one university. She has many friends but had said good bye to many friends.
