What makes me special. | Jeeun Jane So | TEDxRikkyoU
Hello, my name is Jane! My Korean name is 蘇在恩, So Jeeun which means ""May there always be grace"".
I am an ordinary college sophomore and also a 320,000 Youtuber sharing my life as a student in Japan. I study international business at Rikkyo University with wonderful friends there!
I was born and raised in Japan in a Korean family and have mastered Korean, Japanese, and English while enrolling in Japanese public schools for 12 years. As I got older, I wanted a freer and more diverse environment, so I went to Arizona, USA to study abroad in high school. Through my experience in the U.S., I was exposed to the vastness of the world and its diverse values and simultaneously began to think deeply about ""who I really am”. I was also able to find my past self, who had been living with feeling inferior and self-hatred then.
Our lives are filled with various choices and events, and when we connect them together, we create our own ART. My ART is still a work in progress, but I would like to share with you my past and the various TIPs I have gained from them:) Hello, I’m Jane!
