Hello everyone! My name is Nikolay Kozhin; however, you can call me Nick. I am a person of habits, therefore when I went to Baruch for the Freshman Convocation I was nervous and scared out of my mind. However, it goes away and I become a very interactive person. In addition to that, I’m a huge procrastinator and I would put other people’s needs in front of mine, so if anyone needs help, just let me know!
Time for some fun facts about me! English is not my first language! I was born and raised in Russia. As I was growing up I would frequently move to different places. These were big moves, not just from a different house to another, or to another city. When I was around twelve my parents decided to move to the Dominican Republic. It’s a Hispanic country that is in the middle of the Caribbean Sea. It was one of the major changes in my life because I was opened up to a new culture and different morals than the ones I experienced in Russia. A few years later I moved to New York to go to high school. Because of all the moving, I never made any real bonds with people, so I’m kind of antisocial. On the other hand, I can speak three different languages: Russian, English, and Spanish.
Like thousands of students at Baruch, I chose to do Accounting. This choice was mainly affected by my experience abroad because there are a lot of different places that need processing and communication of financial information about entities.
I chose the picture of the globe because each and every one of us has the potential to change it or influence it in a positive perspective. In addition to that, there are over two hundred countries in the world, and in every one of them, there are different cultures, traditions, and morals. In my life, I have been in eight different countries all over the world, and in every single one of them are problems. They share similar problems, however, they are each unique and bring their own part to the table. Worldwide, there are problems like hunger and poverty and if all the countries unite to fight them, it is possible to have a better world.
PS: Picture won’t load, but I think we all know what a globe looks like.
