Who am I?

In "Catcher in the Rye", Holden Colfield says he wants to be a catcher in the rye who keeps little children from falling off the cliff. Setting aside the debate on the quality of literature work itself and my personal preference about novels, I deeply sympathized with Colfield. Since I was a high school student, I wanted to be a psychiatrist. I think, in a sense, being a doctor-including herb doctor- is similar to the catcher in the rye. As catcher keeps children from falling, doctors help people in their extreme situation. Now I am majoring in Oriental medicine in Kyunghee university. I'm glad and proud that I have a chance to make my dreams come true. So after my graduation, I'll study psychologic medicine related to oriental medicine further. As they are both metaphysical, I expect oriental medicine can supply effective new interpretation for mental problems. I suppose the reason I got interested in mental science is derived from the stress I got during my junior high and high school days. Though it may seem nothing peculiar, the situation mixed with my personality and home background had weighty effect on me.
I was born an only child in my family. Thanks to my parents' method of fosterage, I grew up to be very disciplined. Most only daughters are said to be stubborn and selfish. But I've tried to be in others' shoes and not to think too highly of myself. I got enormous love from my parents, but as I got in school, implicit pressure that I should get into prestigious university also grew severe. These environmental factors must have affected my personality.
As for my personality, I am a dreamer, in short. I wish to do so many things but my resolutions are mostly short-lived. For example, I've dreamed about traveling various nations to experience their culture, but I have no concrete plans and don't know when it will be accomplished. Maybe owing to such characteristic, I'm an introvert. Also I admit that I am not that amiable to everybody. Once I grow emotionally close to someone, I show sheer trust and positive attitude, though. One of my shortcomings is that I sometimes act so recklessly that I feel overwhelmed later with the results of my behavior. But in some ways my reckless behavior helps me challenge and do my best. This aspect may thought to be contrary to what I've stated above. I think it's because I'm often carried away by my feelings. Very frequently, I become a perfectionist. While it sometimes causes me stress, it also makes me try hard. And this semester, one of my goals is to focus on english writing!!;D
