Who am I – Sung Hyun Ahn

Who do I think I am? Well, I can say that my name is Sung Hyun Ahn, although many of my friends call me Eugene. I can say that I’m a freshman at Baruch College. I can say that I play the guitar or that I am in a band. I can even say that I am a very active guy. However, these things are answering questions starting with what. What is my name. What college am I studying at. What instrument can I play. Answering the question “Who do you think you are?” is a tough one, especially since many people really don’t know who they really are. Well, to tell you the truth, I can’t really say who I am. So, for now, I will supply this blog post with basic information about me. I am a first generation Korean-American. I am going to major in Actuarial Science here at Baruch College. I like to work out and play baseball and football. Well, as a freshman at Baruch College, I do have many concerns about my freshman year. First, although I am an active person, I am a very shy person as well. Therefore, it will be hard for me to make new friends on the spot. Second, I cannot get the study pattern right because I never actually studied intensely in my life. I believe that now that I am in college, I should make studying a priority. Finally, Baruch College is a commuter college. I live in Bayside. So, it takes me roughly around an hour and 30 minutes or longer to get to school. Thats basically more than 3 hours of traveling everyday. I think this will ruin my sleep because now I have to study intensely during the night to make up the time I missed to study. I do try to study in the subways and the buses, but I rarely am able to concentrate. Being at Baruch College, my experience from my high school and the experience I am receiving in college is totally different. For an example, in high school, the teachers basically teach you the course. However, in college, the professors tell you to read the textbook. Then they would review the materials you read in a lecture. In college, there is a lot more to read and understand. My first year at college will change me through the way I study.
