@@해진리 그 당시에 영어로 진행했어서 영어 버전 스크립트 공유합니다. Dear Class of 2024, For a long time, I was unsure whether or not I had the right to stand here. My fellow law colleagues who have spoken before me have mostly explained their study tips. Thus, I decided instead to talk about something more important than studying: HILS life. What’s the first thing that comes to mind when someone says “law school?” Competition? Internships? How to get a good grade? Until I came to law school, this is how I have lived my life. As a foreign national in the United States, during my middle and high school years, I continuously pushed myself to get the best grades to go to the best schools to secure the best internships. There was nothing but a competition to be the best. When I heard of HGU, I heard that HGU doesn’t emphasize competition, people share their outlines, and the Christian community was such a wonderful place. Thus, dreaming of the Garden of Eden, I returned to Korea. However, unlike my expectations, the first semester at HILS was filled with case briefs and call-on, which caused significant stress for so many of my peers. I personally took digestive pills before torts and ran to the bathroom many times. Everyone was busy, living their busiest lives. There were many times when I doubted the path I had chosen and wished to give up. However, my colleagues and I supported each other one day at a time, and we finished our first semester. Friends of mine call us the “RPOP” (reasonable person of ordinary prudence). Thus, if I’m stressed out, others are stressed out as well. If others are happy, I will be happy as well. By that logic, if I have to pull an all-nighter to get my case briefs done, my classmate next to me is crying his eyes out in his room for the same reason. Whenever you feel tired, shout “I am the RPOP!” In my second semester, I have collapsed countless times, more so than ever before in my life. I don’t wish anyone sitting here today to undergo the same fate here, which is why I am standing here today. If there is anyone who is undergoing something similar to me, just contact me and I will be a good listener, and we will find a solution together if possible. Everyone else seems to be pushing ahead with their lives, but I felt like I was slowly being left behind. I got on my knees and begged the Lord Almighty to give me the boldness to grow as a person. I am too weak to stand alone. I don’t know if coming here and crying and pondering whether the path I took is wrong, everyone else is busily working their way up, but I’m just being left behind. I didn’t know what made me happy, I didn’t know what was pushing me through this ordeal, so I hung on to God and prayed every day. One day, I even told the good Lord that I could no longer handle it. This is the end. There were times when I went to Dean Lee and told him I wanted to take a semester off. Of course, I wanted to say on the surface that this path was the one that God chose for me, that God walks beside me, and I wanted to shout that everything is okay. However, the reality was very harsh, dark, and scary. I wanted to give up everything. There was no one next to me, all my family was in Seoul, and the only place, I could go to, was the beach in Youngildae. So I went to Youngildae Beach every night to walk, to look for an answer, and I was so lonely. In Ecclesiastes 4:12, there is a verse that is my favorite verse; Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken. Alone, you will fall countless times and will lose. I would also not be here if it weren’t for my classmates who listened to my worries, prayed for me, worried themselves sick about me, and cared about me. There will come times when you stumble, fall, and find yourselves lonely and tired. Look around you. Everyone is tired. We are not here to compete amongst ourselves but to sympathize and love each other. In the Bible, it says to love your neighbor as we love ourselves. If someone stumbles, please don’t think “I’ve just passed one competitor, I’m not going to fail.” We have to take our fellow classmates with us, rather than leave them behind. When you fall over, someone will be there for you. When I fell, my neighbor gave me strength, and thus I want to reciprocate to those around me. I believe this is what God was talking about when he said the light and salt of this earth. Rather than competing against each other, I want us to help and support our classmates. And rather than gossiping and fighting, I want us to embrace and forgive one another as a community. Knowing God, walking together step by step, and accomplishing our goals with patience instead of rushing ahead and being unaware of others, - this is what makes Handong special and attractive. These values also show the power of cooperation as God’s gift to us. We would not be here and have met without God’s guidance. I want to take this time to welcome you to HILS, a space that is both like the wilderness and the Garden of Eden. To share a few studying tips, do not procrastinate, and finish your assigned reading and case briefing daily. It is helpful to reference the senior students’ outlines, but nothing beats reading and finishing it yourself. For midterms and finals, you would have to read them all over. So, it is best to read them thoroughly and do case briefings throughout the semester. If you made your own outline, you would not need to read over all the notes but just review your notes. Again, an outline made by yourself is the best because it is familiar to you and facilitates memorization. I also recommend writing out the rules. I hope that rather than focusing on surviving through grit and studiousness, the Class of 2024 would work together so that no one will be left behind. Thank you for listening.
안녕하세요 저는 한동대 학부생이고 HILS 진학을 고려하고 있습니다. 몇 가지 궁금한 점이 있는데 시간되실 때 짤막하게라도 답변 주시면 정말 감사하겠습니다! 1. 저는 초, 중, 고, 대학교를 모두 한국에서 나왔고 UIL(한동대 미국법 학부 전공) 전공을 하지도 않았기에 HILS 과정을 따라갈 수 있을지 매우 걱정이 됩니다. 지금부터라도 토플 공부 등을 통해서 최대한 영어 실력을 끌어올리려 하는데요. 현실적으로 수업 따라가는게 가능할지, 저처럼 토종 한국인분들도 과정을 잘 따라가는 편인지가 궁금합니다. 2. 입시가 서류, 영어 입학시험과 면접으로 이뤄지는 것으로 알고 있는데 입학시험과 면접을 어떻게 준비하면 좋을까요? 감사합니다.
안녕하세요. 저희 동기나 선배 후배 분들 중에도 한국에서 초, 중,고, 대 다 나오신분들 많습니다. 물론 처음에는 시간이 더 할애되고 어려운 부분은 있을 수 있지만 영어 실력이 전부는 아니라고 말씀드리고 싶습니다. 물론 면접이나 영어 시험도 통과하셔야 하겠지만 수업을 따라가는데 있어서 더 많은 노력을 해야할 것 입니다. 영어 입학 시험과 면접 관련 영상은 다른 영상에 남겨두었습니다. 혹시 더 궁금한 사항 있으시면 dannykim0206@gmail.com 으로 연락주세요.
Wish for the best!
건강한 생각과 마음을 가진 청년이네요! RPOP! 저도 힘들 때 기억할게요ㅎㅎ
영어 버전도 만들어서 HILS OT 때 틀어줘도 좋을 거 같아요 후후

Dear Class of 2024,
For a long time, I was unsure whether or not I had the right to stand here.
My fellow law colleagues who have spoken before me have mostly explained their study tips.
Thus, I decided instead to talk about something more important than studying: HILS life.
What’s the first thing that comes to mind when someone says “law school?”
Competition?
Internships?
How to get a good grade?
Until I came to law school, this is how I have lived my life.
