Monologue

My name is Ahnaf Miah. I was born at Sunnyside, NY and I currently live in long island.  Long Island is really an awesome place to live school wise and living wise compared to queens, even though those were the best years of my life so far.  I love to play basketball, handball, go watch movies, sleeping, eating, playing videogames and spending time with friends and family. Friends and family matter to me most because they are the only people who will stick by your side through thick or thin. I also forgot to mention that I LOVE to drive. The feeling that you get when you drive is indescribable. What I hate is the commute from my house to Baruch, waking up early to go to school, being bored and doing chores. I believe that I am kind, passionate, decently smart and decently good in everything I do. The roles that I play in my life are to be a good brother, good son and good friend. I am not really afraid of a lot of things but I am afraid of doing badly on major exams, presenting in front of the class and getting caught doing something bad. There has been a lot of embarrassing moments in my life but a recent one was when I was trying to download a movie in the living room with my dad there and a very disturbing pop-up video showed up. I pressed the mute button as quickly as I could and I was shook. Luckily my dad didn’t notice because he had his eyes and ears glued to CNN. A moment in which I feel empowered is when I am a group leader for class assignments or when I am the reason my team is winning in basketball. For Baruch, my main concerns are getting good grades, handing all my work in on time and trying to adapt to college life because I still have “senioritis” from my senior year in high school. Even with these concerns, I am still looking forward to continuing my education here at Baruch college and hopefully get a good job as a result from it.
