Unit 67 The Principal

W: How long have you been a school principal, Mr. Shin?

M: I have been a school principal for 18 years.

W: What made you get involved in education?

M: When I was 12 years old, I read an article about how the human brain works.

I studied very hard. I tried to use my brain well. Soon, I began to get interested in education. W: I see!

M: After college, I became a teacher.

I was given the position of principal 12 years later. W: Do you ever wish that you had done something else?

M: When I first started as a principal, I missed being a teacher.

I liked spending time with children and helping them learn and grow. However, I knew that I could do a lot of good as a principal. W: You have certainly done a lot of good, Mr. Shin!

You started a special program to send all the students in your school to college! M: I have been planning to do that for some time.

I'm glad the program is so successful.
