"My name is JiHwan Kim. I am a political science student from Yeungnam University in Daegu, South Korea. I came to Boston to study English at the Kaplan International School and learn about U.S culture.
My teaching internship at Operation P.E.A.C.E. is a great opportunity to practice my English skills teaching computer skills to low-income residents and be of service in Boston. In the beginning I was very nervous meeting and speaking with Americans. But America has many kinds of very interesting people. Every day at Operation P.E.A.C.E. I meet people from different backgrounds and cultures and gain more confidence.
My internship training also taught me that it’s okay to make mistakes when working with people from all walks of life. Senior citizens are particularly kind to me, and I am fascinated to view world history from their life perspectives.
My motto is this: ‘No road is long with good company’. And I want to be a good company to everyone who needs my help." For more information about our internships programs, please call David at (617) 267-1054.
