Hi, my name is Artem Ryabov. My family and I live in the beautiful town of Cornwall, New York. Although it might sound like this place is in the middle of nowhere… well it actually is, which is why I came to Manhattan, yearning for a change of pace. However, Cornwall was not always my home, as I was born in Rostov-na-Donu in Russia. When I was eight, me and my mother joined my father in the United States, where we lived in Brooklyn for two years. As you can probably tell, my environment changed quite a lot during my youth, and I believe it has given me a more worldly outlook.
Although my homes define me as a person, my interests also identify me as an individual. I am an avid futbol fan, and rarely stray to watch other forms of sport. I see the game not only as a physical and technical competition between athletes, but a game of strategy and intelligence between managers, which is what makes it so captivating for me. Another passion for me is studying the stock market, in all its complexity and variety. I intend to incorporate my interest in the market into my professional life. Also another key hobby I have is the cosmos, although I have not really followed that interest too much. The mystery and the possibilities really pull me into space exploration, but I do not see myself following that as a career in my life.
Besides my hobbies and homes, I might also be identified by my actions. I really enjoy reading, except my favorites are usually nonfiction, since I feel like I am learning valuable information. I also enjoy being social. For me, being social introduces me to other perspectives and ideas which a book never could. Lastly, I can also identify myself by my very analytical nature, for I naturally break down all aspects of my environment and extrapolate the findings.
All these things make me an individual, my interests, my homes and my actions. I currently find myself studying in the city where I believe I can continue to follow my passions, while also absorbing the unending variety.
