Jeong Hae-won
Café Course / Korea
Came to Japan in April
2009
Va was the closest school to the concept of a café that I visualized.
- Q. What was your educational background and what were you doing in your home country before entering Va?
- In Korea, I was studying the western history at the Yonsei University. Before entering Va, I continued to mainly study the modern history of France and the UK in graduate school.
- Q. Why did you decide to enter a school in Japan?
- There are lots of unique cafes in Japan, not like Korea. As I have a dream to open a café in my home country, I strongly wished to obtain knowledge and skills that were not available in Korea.
- Q. How did you come to know Va?
- My classmate from Japanese language school told me that she participated in and enjoyed the open cmapus day of Va. At that time, I was comparing various café schools, so I took part in the open campus day in the summer.
- Q. What made you enter Va?
- The open campus day made the best impression, and this is the main reason I choose this school. Va was the closest to the concept of a café that I visualized. By looking students, I felt "I too am able to study proactively", so I decided to enroll.
- Q. Did you have worries or anxiety before enrollment? And how did you sort them out?
- I was worrying about my age and lack of work experience at restaurants. But now, I am happy that I can challenge a new goal and dream. I enjoy learning, by utilizing the experiences and knowledge I received from international traveling until now.
- Q. What is the best thing and the most memorable thing you experienced after entering Va?
- The Va trip and what I learned about coffee in extracurricular lessons taught by a professional were fun and unforgettable.
Practice hours were the most exciting part of classes. - Q. Finally, could you tell me "your dream"?
- With my own values and sense of beauty, I want to have a comfortable café, where customers get relief from everyday stress by enjoying something delicious.
