From kindergarten through eighth grade I attended Magen David Yeshivah. In eighth grade, when it came time to apply to a high school I applied to both Magen David and Flatbush Yeshivah. I wanted to go to Magen David, while my mom wanted me to go to Flatbush. She said Flatbush was a better education and would make me a more well rounded person. I didn’t want to leave Magen David, all my friends where there and it would just be easier. Unfortunately for me I ended up in Flatbush.
In Flatbush I was forced to go out of my comfort zone and meet many new people. I decided to join clubs and commissions and get involved in my local community. I became president of my local synagogue and commish of big clubs in my school. These experiences have shaped who I am and made me the well rounded person I am now.
In my senior year I was offered to be head advisor of the freshman seminar. I had to both organize and plan their entire seminar. I had to make sure it was both meaningful and spiritual. Along with the planning I had to make a keynote speech. This speech made me dive into myself and learn about who I am and share it with everyone. I learnt that I am capable of anything I put my heart to and like the person I am now.
I took these values with me into Baruch College.
In Baruch I plan on gaining a lot of knowledge and helping me gain knowledge that will enable me to work better. I am confident Baruch can give me this knowledge in the business field and I will succeed in all I do.
I am a little anxious for what awaits me, and all the work I will have but I believe I will succeed in all I do, and I know it will be a great four years.
