The question, “Who do you think you are?”, is a question that really questions the person who is being asked it. When I am asked it, I ask why does this person want to know what I think about myself. I’d rather have the him/her tell me what (s)he thinks about me than tell him/her what I think about myself. Well, anyways, I think I am person who is worthy of your friendship, your trust, and your respect. I am worthy of your friendship because I believe I am easy to get along with. I am worthy of your trust because I am someone who is always willing to help somebody when they are having trouble. And I am worthy of your respect because I treat other people with respect.

Who do I think I am? I think I am a Baruch student who has a bright future ahead of him. I know I will do great during my career at Baruch. I also think I am somebody who can help a classmate when they are having trouble.

My top three concerns at Baruch are procrastination, laziness, and fitting in  with my classmates. I used to procrastinate in high school and it lead to me getting stressed out. I need to kick that habit during my time at Baruch. Laziness is also another thing that needs to go. Laziness leads to poor grades, something I do not want. Another top concern for me at Baruch is fitting in with my classmates. In high school, I didn’t like most of classmates, so I didn’t fit in. Hopefully at Baruch, I fit right in.

So far, my experience at Baruch has differed tremendously from my high school experience. I have way more freedom here than at Forest Hills High School. No more raising your hand to go to the bathroom. I can actually use my phone in between classes, and I don’t have to eat food that is made from God-knows-what. The biggest difference is the breaks between classes. I used to have four minutes to push my way through the narrow halls of Forest Hills High School. At Baruch, I have atleast 25 minutes. In fact, on Thursdays, I have a four hour break between two of my classes.

My first year at Baruch will change me in the sense that it will adjust me to college life. I will get used to studying and writing long papers instead of fooling around, like I did in high school.
