In a broader sense, everyone is trying to find a purpose in life, and is constantly\u00a0trying to discover their place in the world of today.\u00a0As a college student who is just starting to figure out what he wants in life, I do\u00a0find myself reflecting on my life decisions and the path I am currently walking on. Though I have made a lot of achievements, I have only been\u00a0defined by these accomplishments and experiences, while there are still so many other interests and aspirations I have, that can potentially help me further find\u00a0what\u00a0I really want my purpose in life to be. Sometimes it may be hard to distinguish the identity I maintain, but I believe that there\u00a0is a difference between &#8220;who you are&#8221; and &#8220;who you want to be.&#8221; Just for some background info, I am a student at Santa Clara University who enjoys dancing, and singing. I was born and spent most of my years in San Francisco, before moving to Taipei, Taiwan at the age of 14. There I have gained a multi-cultural experience that has given me a broader sense of the world we live in. But again, there are not many people like me, which makes it even harder to identify myself, and especially describe who I am to others. Hopefully, this <span class=\"il\">blog<\/span> will be an easier way for you to understand me, and further elaborate on what It means to have two identities.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-77\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.scu.edu\/sungenglish1a\/files\/2016\/11\/imgres-1-300x99.jpg\" alt=\"imgres\" width=\"355\" height=\"117\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.scu.edu\/sungenglish1a\/files\/2016\/11\/imgres-1-300x99.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.scu.edu\/sungenglish1a\/files\/2016\/11\/imgres-1.jpg 389w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 355px) 100vw, 355px\" \/>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-78\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.scu.edu\/sungenglish1a\/files\/2016\/11\/imgres-2.jpg\" alt=\"imgres\" width=\"150\" height=\"119\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My\u00a0name is Chris Sung, and welcome to my first blog!
