            I was born in Seoul, South Korea 1995. I have two older brothers who go to college in New York and Daytona. When I was 5 years old, I was interested at sports. So, I started playing soccer with my brother, and somehow I started playing hokey too, I played for 4 years. When I started play hockey, I didn’t even know how to skate, so I practice every day only skating for 4 days. After 4 days, I start play hokey on the field. After few years, I was really good at it. I was captain of my team; I always played with 13 years old guys when I was 7 years old. If I can go to past right now by time machine, then I’ll choose to go back when I start hokey.

One day when I was 9 years old, I follow my mom to golf course. My mom gave me a golf club and told me to try to hit the ball, I hit it well, and I want it. But I never thought I want or will be a professional golfer until I play a first tournament. I played good on first golf tournament, after that I wanted to be a professional golfer. So, after that I practice every day, really hard. So, I become a rank 3 on my age when I was 13 years old.

My parent asked me about going America and play golf and study. So, I went to America by myself when I’m 13 years old. I went to Mike Bender Golf Academy in Florida, and I start played to tournament a lot more, and my golf game improve a lot more. 2 years later, I moved to Lake Mary, Florida. Now I go to school Lake Mary Prep High School, and I’m still want to be professional golfer.

I had to fight through all the hard work and I wanted to give up. But golf is a something that you can’t take it off from me. I will never give up and I’ll do my best until I reach my goal. I try to be independent. While I’m playing golf I had a lot of moment that I want to quit golf, but I don’t give up because it’s just part of the game of golf.
