Hello everyone!

My name is Irene. I am an Asian American and I grew up in Brooklyn, NY. Most of my friends would describe me as your typical asian, nerd. I grew up in a strict, asian household so perfection was always expected of my siblings and I. However, we’re all humans and nothing in life will ever be perfect. For example, previously, I attended Brooklyn Technical High School and majored in mathematics. I admit that Brooklyn Tech wasn’t my first choice and I was pretty disappointed. However, my experiences at Tech really did change my outlook on life. It taught me that life doesn’t always go the way you expect it will and that the key of surviving or being content is definitely being able to adapt to change.

Personally, through Tech, I was able to meet people that I don’t think I would’ve been able to meet elsewhere and because of them I was able to grow as a person and academically too. They showed me that it’s good to study and worry about grades, but not everything in life is about grades. In the future, I’m not going to remember if I did poorly on a test or if I had trouble with a certain concept. I’m going to remember the fun times that I had or some of the stupid things that I did. Life is about making the most of yourself and being happy with what you’ve done. I’m happy living my life knowing that I’ve done what I could and of course there are certain moments that I regret. But rather than kicking myself over the tiny details, I prefer to take the opportunity and learn from my mistakes instead so that I could avoid repeating them.

I want to take advantage of all resources available to me and I definitely want to be an active student on campus. I want this period in my life to be something special and make friends that I will keep contact with for a lifetime. I’m also expecting a bit more freedom and independence. I’m a bit worried that I will have a hard time with time management and keeping up with my work. However, I am hoping that I’ll be able to correct my bad habit of procrastinating and continue to grow at Baruch.

Hi.

This is Karen. I have a lot of interests but I don’t actively participate in any of them. When I do feel inclined in participate in any of them, it usually comes in short bursts. For example, I have taken an interest in coding as well as editing before but it didn’t last for very long. However, it wasn’t because I had lost interest in it (I still haven’t); it was because I became engrossed in a TV show that I then began to watch nonstop. I am also interested in foreign languages but learning them is an entirely different matter since grammar rules confuse me very easily.

Even now, I still have a lot of different interests but I have yet to find what I am really passionate about. From all the short bursts of time spent on different interests, I have found that I have an interest in the arts but I have not yet spent enough time on any one interest to really get to know about it. Hopefully, during my years in college I will be able to figure this out. Even if I do figure this out eventually, I don’t plan on majoring on anything art related because art is not my forte. I only want to be able to truly say that I am interested in something. In the mean time,  I will focus on getting through my first semester successfully and focus on my school work until I am comfortable enough to find a balance between my school work and varying interests.
