My life before I came to the US

I came to the US about 3 months ago. My life in Korea was quite different from what I am doing here. 
Back in korea, on weekdays I worked as a judge, and on weekends I raised my family as a husband and a father. 

First of all, I would like to tell you about what I did as a judge. In many countries judges have a lot of authorities related to people and property. Judges also have a huge number of tasks. 

To make a long story short, I will say 4 things: 
    In a criminal case, I made the decision whether someone indicted for a certain crime was guilty or not. If the defendant was convicted, I decided how long the person should be in jail or how much the fines the person should pay were, and I issued arrest warrants or search warrants at the demands of the prosecuter. 
    In a civil case, I ordered someone to do or not to do something if necessary, and I decided who was responsible for the dispute and how much he should pay for financial compensation. I also arbitrated in a dispute by figuring out proper alternatives or encouraging a settlement between the plantiff and defendant. 

    I held a trial two days every week. There were a lot of allegations, pleadings, testimonies, and examinations of evidence so it took a long time very often. 
    Outside of the court room, I read documents summited from both sides, researched laws and precedents, and wrote down sentencings in my office. 

Secondly, it is time to talk about my weekend with my family. Since I did not have enough time to spend with my family because of my busy work, I tried to get along with my wife and daughter as much as possible. We usually enjoyed brunch at a cafe near my house, walked around the park, and sometimes drove out of the city. I loved playing soccer with my daughter. Good family time made me feel refreshed. 

Besides that, when I had free time, I played a guitar as a hobby. I am not a good player, but I love the time when I hold a guitar and hear the unique sound of it. [this sounds more natural: "but I love holding a guitar and hearing the unique sound of it."/"but I loved when I held a guitar and heard the unique sound of it."] I experienced performing onstage with my band members last May. It was really fantasic and amazing. Sometimes I reminisce about that moment. 

To wrap up my story, I work hard and also try to enjoy every moment of my life in Korea.

First of all I would like to tell you about what I did as a judge.
In many countries judges have a lot of authority related to people and property. 
And judges also have a huge amount of tasks.
To make a long story short, I would say 4 things. 
In criminal cases, I made a decision (you could also use "decide") whether someone indicted for a certain crime is guilty or not.
If the  defendant was convicted, I decided how long the person should be in jail or how much the fine should be that the person should pay.
And I issued an arrest warrant or a seach warrant on demanding of if the prosecuter demanded it.
In civil cases, I ordered someone to do or not to do something if necessary.
And I decided who is responsible for a dispute, and how much he should pay for financial compensation.
I also arbitrated in a dispute trying where I tryed to figure out proper alternatives or encourage settlement between plantiff and defendant.
I held a trial two days every week.
There were a lot of allegations, pleadings, testimonies, and examination of evidence so it often took a long time very often.
Outside of the court room, I read documents summited from both sides, researched laws and precedents, and wrote down sentencing in my office.

Secondly, it is time to tell about my weekends with my family.
Because I did not have enough time to spend with my family for because of my busy work schedule, I tried to get along with my wife and daughter as much of the time as possible.
We usually enjoyed brunch at a cafe near my house, walked around  the park, and sometimes drived drove out of the city.
I loved playing soccer with my daughter.
A good family time made me refresh. (Or, you could say that "A good family time refreshed me.")

Besides these things, when I had free time, I played a guitar for hobby. 
I am not a good player but I love the time when I catch a guitar and hear the unique sound of it. (This sentence sounds pretty strange to english ears. You could say something like " I was not a good player, but I loved to hold a guitar and hear its unique sound.")
I experienced performing on the stage with my band members last May. It was really fantasic and amazing.
Sometimes I reminisce about that moment.
