Hello, my name is Brandon Eng and I am a second semester freshmen here at Baruch. I am planning on majoring in Finance, but that may be subject to change. From the interview questions list, I choose the question “What is the hardest thing for you to do”. I choose this question because sometimes life gets tough, and it is extremely important that we share our feelings and not bottle it in. To answer the question, I would say the hardest thing for me to do is let go, and move on. I have a personality where I get attached at times, so adjusting to new changes is something really hard for me to do. Letting go and moving on is hard when I put a lot of time and thinking into something. When I build a connection to anything, I tend to take it personal, so when there are times I need to release or let go for my own good, it is difficult.
During the first day of class, I got to talk to one of my classmates. My classmate was sitting close to me so naturally we gravitated towards each other. He had a very chill vibe, and was very easy going. We both felt the same, it was kind of weird because we were back to class with different people, after having over a month off. I asked him a pretty interesting question, and it was “explain why some people get along with me”. He responded with “I have an easygoing personality, I like peace, and to make people laugh by cracking jokes”. I agreed with that statement because I got a sense of his personality, based off the very minimal short conversation we had prior.
The question you chose was a very interesting one, I found myself wondering about it. Being able to let go is something we as people struggle with quite often in society as of today. It begins to eat away at our mind maybe even our sanity until some sort of closure can be met. You bringing it up has helped remind myself that I too need to let go.
I also find it difficult to let go. I feel that it’s kind of important to forgive but never forget. you can move on from something or someone but still always go back and reflect on it and learn.
