Jon in Long Island
My name is Jonathan Jung Min Park. Coming from a diverse background, I can say that I love opening up to new cultures. I am Korean, was born in Thailand, grew up in Taiwan, lived in Korea for a few months, lived in Kansas for a year, then moved to Long Island in 2007. The reason being that my parents were missionaries all across the world and I just happened to tag along. This gave me the ability to speak Korean, Mandarin, and English although English is my best language by far.
As for my hobbies, I am passionate for soccer and Manchester United is my favorite team. Besides playing video games, playing sports, and watching TV, my hobbies include playing the drums, beatboxing. I’m a facebook addict, and I LOVE to eat. Thai, Indian, Korean, Chinese, Italian, Brazilian. The list can go on forever.
Nonetheless, I’m enjoying my experience here in Baruch as a Macaulay student. I began volunteering at a homeless shelter, I am the President of the Soccer Club, and also starting a project called Baruch TV. My experience here has already changed who I am and I’m looking forward to meeting new people and trying new things.
That’s a really unique bio. So cool that you got to see a lot of the world at such a young age, and that you speak those languages. Do you know where you’re going for study abroad yet? :)
Hey Alessandra, thanks! I would like to travel to Spain or Italy. It’d be pretty cool!
