My Learning Plan media type="file" key="Jin Seon's Learning Plan.mp3" width="284" height="102" I am Jinseon Park. I was born in Korea. I completed University and I have got a Bachelor of Christian Education. After that I worked as a religious worker for churches in Korea. That time was a fantastic period of time in my life because I accomplished my vision and met my husband. A few years later I got married to him. Now I am the mother of two boys and the wife of a wonderful husband. I have been working as a house wife so I could not learn English. From the first day of this year I was determined to study English. That's why I came here today.

My **short-term** **goal** is to complete Certificate 2 this year. I would like to learn grammer, writing, speaking, all areas. I have a dream about speaking like a native speaker. That is my **long-term goal** before I take the next step, work. To become a native speaker, I need to practice all areas. One day I'd like to have an **occupation** where I help people**.** Hopefully, if I have the Certificate IV of Social Welfare from the Polytechnic, I'll get a job as a social welfare officer like a Centrelink officer. Wow!! It's a fantastic goal. I will be so proud of myself. Ha,ha,ha.....Certainly, I'll get it. I'll do that..... Accordingly, I have to try hard to overcome **barriers** for example, laziness. I have to go to English class and not be absent at any lessons. When I plan a weekly time schedule and a day time schedule I don't follow it. Sometimes I put off things I should do that day. So I have to try to follow time management control. The other barrier is my busy life. I have one body but my duties as a house wife, as a minister's wife and as a student mean that life is a juggle.

In conclusion I'd like to say that my first job in Australia was a good experience for me. Two years ago, I wanted a job. I have many **skills** for a job and I also have lots of **experience** and **qualifications.** One day I saw the Mercury newspaper's advertisement about '**employment**'. It was a good chance for me. I read the job's **conditions** and **responsibilities**. Actually few days later, I had a **interview**. The owner wanted a **full-time** worker but I couldn't choose that because I was busy raising a family. I decided that the job was not suitable for me. I gave up. After that someone rang me up. It was the company's owner. He said "Oh! Jinseon I need you. It doesn't matter. Whatever you want, **part-time** or **casual**."

This is a part of my life's story. I have achieved so much and in another ten years time, I'll have an even better life than now.
