Julison Yan

Hello, everyone,

It is my pleasure to introduce myself. My name is Julison Yan, borned and raised in China as an international student who came here around two years ago, and I currently live in the lower east side of Manhattan there is a little story behind my name, my mom was going to name me Jason, but later she thought that there are a lot of people who named Jason, so she decided to name me something special l, and she picked just some random alphabets instead of A. Finally, the name Julison comes out of her mind and sounds perfect to her. That is where my name came from.

Since I had only been here for a couple of years, my English speaking skills and my accents are horrible. I love reading novels and watching movies or documentaries about criminology like Jack the Ripper murders. I am a freshman at Baruch College, and my intended major is accounting. Business is a perfect choice for me, and this is the fastest way to achieve my goal: Be RICH!!! I chose Baruch college for many reasons. 1. Baruch College belongs to the CUNY system which means it is the most affordable college among the colleges that I am accepted to. 2. The Zicklin School of Business is the largest collegiate school of business in the nation and the only CUNY school that offers business programs accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business, representing the highest standard of achievement for business schools worldwide. In other words, Zicklin school of business is one of the most reputable schools in the United State, and  Zicklin’s Full-Time Honors MBA Program attracts students from some of the most competitive universities in the nation. More than that, Baruch college has a career center and tools for clear speech which can help non-native English speakers like me. I hope you guys get to know more about me after my introduction. And I really we can be the best friends at Baruch college in the next couple of years or even after our college graduation. Maybe we can grab some food and drink bubble tea together after quarantine.
