| Suk Hyun Jung |
Hello, my name is Suk hyun Jung and
my American’s name is Jake. I am from South Korea. I am an exchanging student
from CAU which was located in Korea and I have been the Winona for six month. There
are some reasons why I apply this minor project. Frist of all, this semester is
my second and last semester. Before I come back to Korea, I am look forward to
doing something special. In addition, I was surprised that many WSU students
have not known for my country yet. In performing this minor project, I want to
introduce my country. For these reasons, I was participated in this project.
I am 24 years old and junior. In
Korea, there is a law that performed a mandatory military service for 2 years.
I served military as artillery in Mun-san which was located near North Korea.
Military experience was one of the hardest experiences in my life and demanded
physical challenge. However, by enduring these experiences, I got to valuable
lessons such as endurance and team-work. In addition, I could inspire my
patriotism.
I am very active person so I can easily
hang out with stranger and become a good friend. At first, I am not that
outgoing person. However, by going through many activities in university, I
became very outgoing person. When I was in fresh-men in my university, I joined
the student association club. I was in charge of external cooperation team. I
had to deal with many people and held many activities. I had no choice but to deal with many people.
In addition, I performed some corporation ambassadors. By performing these
activities, my character was changed.
Now, my major is business
administration. I am especially interested in marketing so I am taking
marketing classes in here. I am dreaming of being a CEO of the marketing
company. If I head back to Korea, I will be going to enter into a marketing
company. I will build my career at there and I want to establish my own company
later.

| Shah Mohammad Raiaan |
Hello, I am Shah Mohammad Raiaan. Since I am from
Bangladesh, I would like to be called Raiaan because we use our last name more
often than not. I am a 21 year old born
and brought up in Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh. My major was environmental science in North South University in Dhaka where I
studied for a couple of years before deciding to transfer to Winona State
University last year. The reason I chose
to come here is very straight-forward, the high value of an American degree
worldwide. Since learning something new
has the same extent of difficulty irrespective of the geographical location of
the institution, I figured it would be a great move to go for a US degree.
My interest in environmental science as a potential career
choice picked up when I was in the eight or ninth grade. Yes, watching
documentaries on environmental issues on geographic and discovery channel did
lure me into it. As a couple more years went by, my interest on the subject
grew and here I am trying to work my way towards becoming an expert on this
particular field someday. My future goals include working in the development
sector with a reputable donor agency like the World Bank.
Apart from my career goals, I have a few hobbies including
music, movies, tv shows, hanging out with friends and partying. However, I rate
playing billiard as a hobby of mine that would rank in a more dedicated
category. Being a crazy enthusiast of
the game, I never missed an opportunity to help myself to an hour or two in the
pool halls of Bangladesh. I did spend quite a bit of money learning to play but
redeemed a part of It in the last couple of years when I started doing well in
the local tournaments.
As a person, I feel I am quite friendly and really like some
time hanging out with friends, family and relatives. I do get a bit anxious at times particularly
when under pressure but also feel that a little support is sufficient for me to
overcome that easily. That is all I could say about myself.

I
am a British student from London in my senior year at Winona State University, where
I am pursuing a degree in Advertising and a minor in Sociology. Although my home is the United Kingdom, I
have spent a considerable amount of time in the United States and I am very
keen to secure a position at a top American or British advertising
company. I was educated in the UK and
also gained some valuable work experience in London before starting at Winona
State University. My strong interest in
advertising and marketing came as a result of working in the real estate
business in London. Although I was the
youngest and least experienced in the company, I achieved the highest number of
sales as I realized early on the importance of creating strong advertising
campaigns in order to be successful and my leadership abilities allowed me to
delegate to create more sales
I
am an outgoing person who also likes to lead by example and I enjoy
being
active. I love meeting new people,
socializing and developing new ideas. I
have a passion for sports and was a proud member of the Wellington
College
Rugby Squad, as well as the London Scottish Rugby Club. I am now
playing rugby for Winona State University. I also enjoy a wide variety
of other sports
including tennis and I spend a good amount of time training. Another
passion of mine is photography; I
also love music, art, travelling and the world of entertainment.

| Left: Najeejaras Bothdamrih |
My full name is Najeejaras
Bothdamrih, which is almost impossible for people here to pronounce. My parents
gave me the nickname Penloy and it has nothing to do with my first or last
name. I’ve been living in Bangkok, Thailand since I was born. I went to a
public school in Thailand and moved to an international school later on in high
school. When I was fifteen, I participated in a foreign exchange student
program, which I got to fly all the way from Thailand to USA by myself. I got
to attend Rushford-Peterson High school in Rushford, Minnesota. I spent one
whole year living with an American host family that I found to be the most fun
and nicest host family an exchange student could get! They were part of the
reasons why I chose to come back to Minnesota along with my personal love of
the beautiful weather and the environment here.
I’m a freshman and majoring in
business administration. I’m also part of Delta Sigma Pi, a professional
fraternity for business students. I live in Sheehan and, so far, I’m enjoying
the gorgeous view of Winona from my window!
