Famous person

When I am asked which Korean figure I most admire, I always say I admire Ban ki moon, the current Secretary General of the United Nations. As a career diplomat in South Korea's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, he represented our country for 30 years, promoting peaceful and friendly relations with other countries. After being elected to the position of the Secretary General of the United Nations, he has dedicated himself to make the world we live in a better place to live.

 

Ban ki moon has dedicated himself to bring peace and prosperity to the world. Because he always thinks beyond the borders of his country, he has always tried his best to tackle countless world problems. As a result of his truly global mind, he successfully dealt with North Korean nuclear threats, widespread poverty, humanitarian crisis and climate change. He visits regions where disaster has struck and where injustices are committed. Thanks to his efforts and dedication, he prevented many nuclear catastrophe, expanded women's rights and advanced democracy in many other countries. He has also contributed to the gains in literacy and life expectancy, a reduction in poverty, a decrease in the spread of HIV and AIDS.

 

Although he is now on the highest official position in the world, he always maintains humble attitude. His humble demeanor came from his humble childhood. Raised in the small farming village of Korea, he lived in constant poverty during the Japanese occupation of Korea. Because he was the oldest child in the family, he had to take care of his younger brothers and sisters. As a teenager, he studied hard to achieve the goal of being a professional diplomat. Even after he became one of the powerful leaders of the world, he certainly has not forgotten where he has come from, which makes everyone admire him even more.

 

The event that motivated him to pursue a career in diplomacy and public service came when he was in high school. As a high school student, he always studied hard with a passion for English and international politics. He was always the top of his class and got the chance to go to the United States' White House and meet John. F. Kennedy. This event led him to become a diplomat and serve Korea and the world. He served on the foreign ministry for over 30 years. After 25 years of service in the South Korean division of the United Nations, in 2007 he became the first Korean Secretary General of the United Nations.

 

To sum up, as the Secretary General of the United Nations, Ban ki moon contributed to solving many world problems including nuclear threats, environmental issues and human rights crisis. His truly global mind and universal vision originated from his humble upbringings and passion to make the world a better place to live. His story has inspired me to work hard not only in the classroom but in anything I do.
