Chris Ahn’s Monologue

When you first saw me back on the first day of school, what kind of person did you think I was? Just another Asian kid, he seems like a cool guy or nothing at all? When you look at me now, what do you think? Not just another Asian kid, he’s pretty cool, or ew why is he in ALL my classes? But maybe still, you have no opinion about me at all? Probably not likely.
Well regardless of my first and second impressions, I’m making my third impression right now. For those who don’t know my name yet, my name is Chris, I was born on June 19th, and I am Korean. South Korean. I live on Long Island and I commute to school by talking the LIRR and then subway. Enough about that. I tend to be a bit cocky at times but I try my best to be modest; like I was president of my school, played 3 varsity sports, was homecoming king, I was Mr. Big Shot… Oh I’ve said too much.
A signature trait about me is my musical talent. I’ve played the violin for 13 years and I still continue to play. I was planning on majoring in violin, but that’s a story for another day. I also play the drums, guitar, and bass guitar and I’ve played the viola, cello and piano. I enjoy playing just about any sport other than soccer, basketball and ping pong being my favorite to play, and I enjoy watching football. I probably came from a different environment than that of most of you city-goers. Being from Long Island and … just a popular guy, coming to Baruch was an interesting transition. Going to a school where people aren’t yelling your name from down the hall and seeing unfamiliar faces was something not new, but a transition. I’ve come to realize how tiring commuting is. Taking my 10 minute walk to high school is sissy stuff compared to my hour and 15 minute commute to Baruch.
The thing I enjoy the most about Baruch is meeting new people. I’ve met all the people in LC17 and have more or less had at least one conversation with everyone, if I haven’t I’m still getting to it. I consider myself pretty outgoing, sociable and witty guy, but at the same time pretty timid and soft-spoken; depends on where I am. I like LC17. I hope to stay friends with most if not all of LC17 in the following years.
There’s too much about me to discuss in a monologue. I talked with one of my fellow LC17’ers and my LC17 buddy felt that writing a monologue about yourself was hard. For some reason, I thought it would be easy to talk about myself so I said it’s not that hard, but it’s not as easy as I thought. A monologue is basically speaking my thoughts out loud to an audience, or maybe the audience is reading my thoughts… I wasn’t too sure what else to write; I enjoy sports, I’m musically talented, I sort of discussed my personality. Let’s talk about favorites:
Favorite color: Purple Favorite movie: Pirates of the Caribbean. I enjoy chick-flicks time to time. Favorite food: Steak Favorite number: 1
Favorite candy: Sour watermelons Favorite fruit: Watermelons
Favorite Baruch block: LC17
I could list more but I thought you would get bored of favorites. Anyways, my thoughts in my head seem to be withering off so I won’t be able to read my thoughts aloud to you. If you’d like to know more about me my number is 516-ask-me. And this is my monologue.

People say we look alike. I don't know...
