Transition from being with my friends everyday,from having to make new friends and spreading away from my same crew from high school was a very different hard experience for me .When I entered Baruch , I was very stubborn and promised myself I would not join anything I would stay to myself and go straight from school and home . I did this for about the first two weeks and I was not happy at all .I would call my friends and explain that this school sucks everyone is about their books and no one is friendly ,but it was really all me.The reason it was hard to make friends or join anything was because I did not want to step out of my comfort zone to know anyone .It felt strange to not be going to the same classes with the same people Monday through Friday .Taking the boat to school by myself,riding the train back by myself I thought it was making me a loner and weak ,but instead it was only making me stronger and I found out more about myself then I ever did within last semester .I realized I am a very social person and love to communicate with others so why not go and start fresh with networking .That is what Baruch is all about networking and meeting new people so that is what I did .It was hard at first because I was shy.As soon as I steeped out of my comfort zone all opportunities began to come my way.I made friends with classmates ,club mates ,and even people in tutoring .Getting out my comfort zone saved me and it allowed me to feel more confident and comfortable with myself although it wasn’t an easy task and beat it even though there were obstacles in the way.Change is not always a bad thing it actually just allows you to view what was actually hidden inside which in my case was opportunity .
