One day in January 2024, I woke up in the morning and felt pain in my neck. I could feel a small lump. As time passed, the lump grew bigger and bigger to turn into a bump, and the affected area became swollen. It was easily visible, so I turned up my collar or covered it with a scarf. ...
I studied for the glory of God, and I received a scholarship.

I have prayed to God how I would be able to glorify God with my study and wanted to be used for His kingdom. In 2004 I traveled to Australia and studied there for a year. When I saw many college students studying hard day and night for their future, I was challenged and determined to study harder to be used as a tool of God. When I applied for next subjects after I came back to Korea, I chose only courses that seemed to be difficult to study but helpful to my future. It seemed difficult for me to gain a good grade point. Just before I started the first semester of 2005, I received the news of the recurrence of my mother's disease and I had to take care of my home. I had two different part-time jobs, so I did not have enough time to study. But I was thankful and considered it as a good chance for my blessing. My younger sister Nakyoung Han is a freshman of Dept. Hotel Cooking of the Jangan College. When she entered there, I said to her, "This semester let's please our senior pastor and our mother, so that we can help our home financial situation. Let's get good grade points and scholarships to the glory of God." I was faithful to my God-given duties with wisdom and did my best to study at my school. In remembrance of Rev. Dr. Lee's sermon "Secrets to Successful Study" I prayed and studied. I have been neither absent from nor late for my class. I always sat on a seat in the frontal line at each class and actively and faithfully joined each class. At my part-time jobs, I tried to evangelize students and plant the word of God into them. God was pleased with my deeds and my sister's faith, and He gave us blessing. I received the best point of A+ in all the 9 subjects and won the first place in my department, my sister also got an A+ in 8 subjects out of 9 and received a scholarship that way we were able to receive all-expenses-paid scholarships in the next semester. Now how grateful I am to receive such wonderful blessings in my youth through the love of God, the grace of the Lord and the teaching of the shepherd! I will receive the wisdom from above and study harder so that I show an exemplary Christian life to the world.
