Professor Yoon advised the parents not to be enticed by various reports on what to eat and do to be healthy. “We must take health and longevity to the next level, of quality, not mere quantity. True longevity is not just living a long life, but eating well, loving well, and joyfully living a full life.”
Seo San-shim, a student at the Parent College shared her enthusiasm about the college. “In addition to my son’s entering this prestigious university, I also have been given a chance to enhance my life. I have high hopes for the Parent College, because I will be able to learn from the best professors in Korea and also meet other parents and share information.” It takes Ms. Seo eight hours on the road to participate in the Parent College because she lives four hours away. However, the long distance is not discouraging Ms. Seo and other participants who are coming from various parts of the country.
