Humans of CSHS - Lee Se-hee

To CSHS students ; If you try, you can do it. Cheer up, and please enjoy your meal!

I interviewed the school dietitian at Changwon Science High School. Her name is Lee Se-hee. I will tell you about her story.

She didn't have a clear dream when she was a teenager and just wanted to be a teacher. She enjoyed eating, so she had become interested in nutrition. She searched for jobs about nutrition and got to know about school dietitian positions. She majored in food and nutrition and completed a course in education to become a school dietitian.

She said it was a little difficult to come to school on the first day at CSHS because it is too far from her house. It takes about 40 minutes by a car, so she couldn't often come at breakfast time. She felt a harmonious, more friendly and quiet atmosphere during mealtime because CSHS has few students. She likes it better as it takes only 20 minutes rather than the 40 minutes meal time at her previous school.

She said nutrition is the most important when making a menu and taste is as important as nutrition because if a school dietitian plans nutritionally balanced menus, it won't help if students don't eat. Usually, students’ favorite foods and teachers’ favorite foods are different. So, there is a conflict between different foods. She has to make three menus per day at CSHS and she try not to overlap menus, but there might be a few mistakes. She asked to be excused.

Her most memorable school memory was when she first worked at an elementary school in Gimhae. It is an isolated school, and it had 150 students. It was so cute when small children made chewing motions. She was able to become more friendly with teachers because there were only a few teachers at the school.

Her motto is, "If you try, you can do it." She thinks CSHS students are very nice and hopes all students will go to the university that they want. Enjoy your meal!

My second question was about who is his most memorable student while he was teaching high school. He answered that in 2012, He was teaching freshmen in high school, and there was a student that had many problems. He didn't want to come to school and was involved with a gang. He tried to keep him away from gang members and encouraged him to keep coming to school regularly. A year later, He transferred to a different school. He was curious about him and one of his coworker told him he graduated high school because of him. That was his the most memorable moment while teaching. I realized that he has passion and love for his student a lot. Also he has patience and responsibility.

My following question asked if he wanted to become a teacher when he was young. He answered that he wanted to be a scientist.

He answered that he was very impressed by a tight school life of both teachers and students, and their efforts to improve skills and ability to control themselves. I understood that what he experienced in high school, I was so impressed by both teachers and students.
