Journal #1 : About Me

Ever since I was little, my parents put a very high emphasis on my education. My parents came from Ukraine only a year before I was born, so a lot of their russian values were instilled in me. My parents were both straight A students, so education was not just a priority but a way of life. Therefore, I attended a private school when I was little, and then went on to Staten Island Technical High School for high school. My parents wanted to make sure that I was surrounded by the right people, with good morals, values, and motivations. Their support and guidance is what helped me grow as a person and as a student.

In high school, I met a lot of people that I can now say will be my friends for life. They have influenced me as much as my parents have, because we all share the same aspirations and motivations. I had a couple of internships throughout high school that also helped me identify what I want to do as a profession.

This is part of the reason I chose Baruch. I felt like a commuter college would give me the best chance to focus on my studies. Baruch is in the city, and has great connections to many wall street banks and other firms that I see myself interning in or working in. I want to challenge myself and learn valuable skills for the future, while getting the proper job exposure that will help me when I start working.
