Journal Entry #1
This seems to be the easiest topic, but the hardest one at the same time as well. All of a sudden my life, my past becomes ambiguous. It is not that I don’t know about my life, but rather I know it too well, too profoundly that I can’t pick up specific examples to chat […] Continue reading
Journal #1
I can’t really think of any specific experiences that have shaped me into who I am today, but what I do know is that my friends, my family, my culture, and where I grew up have all been significant factors to my values and beliefs. Although I was born in Poland, I currently live, and […] Continue reading

A little bit about me & my hopes and expectations for college life thus far. Continue reading
New World, New Responsibilities
For the most part, I can say that my life has been very sheltered. My parents have provided everything I’ve ever needed for me. Even so, every child must grow up and face the world. At eighteen years old, I have only made a few steps outside of the safe haven my parents have provided. […] Continue reading

I would get an allowance and save every bit I could, holding on to my money so tenaciously that my brothers would poke fun, calling me cheap. Both of my parents were immigrants who came to America to […] Continue reading
“Where have I been and where am I going?” you ask?
Where have I been? Where am I going? These two questions encompass what I have achieved up until this point and what I hope to achieve both during my college career and my professional career. Before I began my college career at Baruch College, I was an avid volunteer both in school and in my […] Continue reading
Journal #1 Anthony Marsan
Growing up in a severely cultural Croatian apartment, placed in the middle of a small suburb in Westchester, I have certainly grown to value variety. Stemming from the cultural bridge I cross each day when I come home, this bi-national identity has served to give me an open mind in most any given situation. Certainly […] Continue reading
one.
When I try to think about specific experiences that have shaped who I am, none really jump out at me. I guess it is because the one experience that has shaped who I am today or at least contributed to it is one that is still hard for me to deal with. My dad left […] Continue reading
