An experience that has shaped my life is an incident that occurred in the year 2003. My mother was hit by an inexperienced driver while crossing a 6 way street (Ocean Parkway) in Brooklyn NY. I thank g-d everyday that she was able to make a full recovery. Today my mother is better then ever! Her strength and determination to defeat any obstacle that befuddles her or challenges her life (as this did) is something I admire and have incorporated into my own life.
As a college student I expect to be treated in a fashion that endows more responsibility upon myself and less of a feeling that teachers are babysitting me. With this hope comes some anxiety. How much harder will college be then high school? What do the teachers expect for the essay questions on their exams? What is the proper way to peruse the college reading which consists of over 200 pages every week?, etc.
During my next 4 years at Baruch, I hope to benefit from the academic rigor and the uniqueness of the courses offered by the Zicklin School of Business, major in business, and go on to start my own real estate firm. I look forward to having great fun with my classmates along the way. I know Baruch will help prepare me for the dog eat dog world that awaits just outside the building!
