About You

Your name is Ronjon, and you live in Oz. You like Oz. A lot.

Originally, you are from a suburb about an hour outside of New York City; Americans would say Jersey but you instead claim New York as your home of origin. You do this because no one in Melbourne knows where Jersey is, and here in Melbourne, you will not meet any New Yorkers who might be offended by this slight exaggeration. You started doing this halfway through your two-year tour in Korea, because no one in Seoul knew where Jersey was either.

Except for one New Yorker you met. She was so offended that she made a scene during a party, enough that everyone avoided her for the rest of the night. Truly, she was a New Yorker, the kind of New Yorker you hope never to become. But you received a flash of perverse pleasure from seeing her alone and friendless; this taught you that you are in fact a New Yorker, at least in mentality. You do not like this part of you, and you are doing your best to replace your Biting New York Mentality with the Supportive Melbourne Mentality. Although you have made strides, you have not yet been completely successful... and so you are ashamed.

Regardless, you did not live very long in your place of birth. When you were roughly 13, you moved out of your home and attended a top-ranked boarding school. After that, you attended the University of Pennsylvania, a top-ranked Ivy League University. You spent five years in the Naval Service, where you were stationed in various places including Virginia Beach, Hawaii, and Seoul (Korea).

You were heavily involved in music as a high school and college student, and from the end of high school, joined all sorts of prestigious singing groups, including the All-State Chorus, Sound of America, and even an acapella group at college. You even became a semi-professional singer / songwriter in Seoul… enough to know that you enjoy performing, but not enough to do it as a career. You did heavily consider it, however.

Instead, you decided to get your MBA, turning down two top-ranked M7 schools (among others) in favor of attending Melbourne Business School, a not-yet top-ranked MBA program. Instead, Melbourne Business School fits you in a way unlike any school you've ever attended. In choosing this school, you have made yourself happy.
