Min Ji Kim

(Class of 2019)

“It is a big surprise for me to graduate from IBA. I totally did not know how to speak English when I first came here to the Philippines, that I could not even distinguish between small and big letters. I even thought that okra was a green chili before. I was that confused and made lots of mistakes. However, I was helped by my very supportive family, teachers, as well as friends. With their support, I did my best to develop and reach the top. And on my journey to the top, I realized one of the most important things in living life, that no man is an island. I needed help and asked for help. I also needed people to share my success with. I really appreciate everyone in my family and school for helping me grow and achieve my goals.”
