An Introduction
Hi everyone!
I’m Annie and I’m a 3rd year UBC student doing Political Science major and Women’s and Gender Studies minor. I’m very excited to be taking a writing-intensive course this term because I absolutely love writing. It’s my favorite hobby, and I definitely want to incorporate that into my career someday.
I was born in Seoul, Korea and moved to Canada with my family in 2001. We settled down in Burnaby, where I attended St. Thomas More Collegiate. After my 9th grade, however, I transferred to a mini-school program called UBC Transitions. It’s a high school situated on UBC campus, so I’ve had quite a lot of time to familiarize myself with UBC before I even was a student here. Thanks to that program, I was able to graduate a year early and attend UBC. Since an early age, I’d known my passion for politics and delve right into political science courses. I enjoyed every single one so far – I’m not kidding! – and trying to expand my field of major by being part of the World Model United Nations organizing committee this semester.
Last term, I was on exchange through Go Global in Lyon, France. Being a political science major in Vancouver, Canada, I thought it would be useful to have fluency in French. Living and studying in France for 5 months was definitely an eye-opening, at times challenging, but mostly enjoyable experience. I also had an opportunity to travel around Europe quite a bit – and visited places like Spain, Italy, Greece, Switzerland, England, and Monaco. In the midst of my travels I think I was bitten by the travel bug because I’m just itching to go somewhere new! Nevertheless, it is nice to be back in my home town, at my home university.
In my downtime I do fashion blogging and play classical piano. I’ve played the piano for 15 years and have performed in the US and Europe.
I’m looking forward to this course and to reading all the interesting things everyone has to write!
Cheers,
Annie
