INT 95 First Blog Post
Greetings, I am Chris Jung and I am from Idar-Oberstein, Germany. I moved over here when I was 10 years old and lived in Redwood Shores, California since then. I enjoy playing basketball, accounting, and the car brand BMW. I played basketball from sixth grade till the end of High school. I miss playing basketball because I miss the closeness of being on a team and everybody working towards one common goal. I would say that I am a team player in mostly everything and if it is possible I am always looking for the best interest of the unit rather than just myself. I love money and everything to do with it. It amazes me how a piece a paper manages to control most people's lives so perhaps that is why I enjoy accounting and money in general. My love for BMW stems from my experience of driving my car, washing my car, and just spending time with my car. I can honestly say that driving anything other than my BMW has been a disappointment in both performance and sensation. I would like to add that I do enjoy other motor sports like dirt biking, and ATV's. Mainly its the sound of the engine revving that attracts me to compete in these sports but I have to add that knowing you can die at any second makes the sport a lot more intense and for me that is exciting. In essence I enjoy the unpredictability that motor sports bring.
As a student I am interested in Economics and accounting for multiple reasons. I enjoy the Economics side because it allows me to have a better understanding of how rational people act and why they act in that way. I also enjoy all the Economic laws because they often apply to numerous areas instead of just one field of study. I enjoy the accounting aspect of the major because it will allow for me to examine a business and determine it's worth as well as if that business has room for growth. An account is safe secure and grounded and in the financial aspect of my life I enjoy those qualities. I hope to learn more about myself on this journey in addition to my studies and hopefully enjoy every day of my life.
Hey Chris! First of all I am jealous that you were born in another country, let alone Germany. That also means you probably speak the language ( actually I do know you speak the language) which is awesome. I took french for 7 years but I can't carry a conversation with anyone for the life of me! I also have to say that I too enjoy money, probably for the same reason as you: it's fascinating that a soiled piece of paper can be so powerful and desirable. However, unlike you, I will probably not go into studying Economics because I am terrible at math.
