When I had nothing left to hesitate over, no more regrets to hold me back, I set off for the Ivy League.
An Ivy League Study Abroad Memoir by former prosecutor-turned-attorney Lee Hong-hoon: A Second Act of Life!
"I will dedicate the remaining third of my life to myself.” After 20 years as a prosecutor and a successful career as a partner at a top law firm, Lee made an unconventional choice—a path that few would consider. From any vantage point, such individuals earn our silent admiration and support. Perhaps it's the unique aura that emanates from those who dare to tread uncharted territory.
At the height of his career, when life seemed most secure, he chose to shake things up. Not just locally, but on the far side of the globe, requiring a journey halfway around the world. The decision to pursue studies abroad in midlife is remarkable in itself, but the fact that this journey unfolded in the Ivy League, one of the world’s premier academic arenas, makes his story even more compelling. His vivid account of what he saw, heard, and learned offers inspiration for anyone contemplating a new chapter in life.
Whether you’re hesitating at the threshold of a life-changing decision or seeking practical insights into studying abroad, this book is a beacon of guidance and encouragement.
It isn’t that special people take on challenges; it’s that those who take on challenges become extraordinary. This is a work that gently, yet powerfully, pushes you forward.
