Hello everyone,
My name is Lovepreet Singh. I am from India. I belong to Sikh religion and I feel proud to be a Sikh. I came to United States in 2015, with my family. In 2015, I went to Long Island City High school. And I graduated from high school in 2017 with Advanced Regents Diploma and I also achieved the Seal of Billiteracy because I speak four languages Urdu, Punjabi,Hindi and English. I am Sophmore at Baruch. I am thinking of majoring in Accounting and become a CPA. In order to become a CPA one must pass CPA Exam and have 150 credits which is very hard. The reason why I came to Baruch is only because it is one of the best college for business major all over the United States. I think that I made the right choice by coming to Baruch. It was very hard for me to get into Baruch but thank god that I got accepted into SEEK program which gives opportunity to students who did not meet the Baruch admission requirements fully.
Some of the things that I love to do is work long hours shifts and make some money. I love driving and I am also a TLC driver. I love playing Volleyball and I started playing volleyball in High school in United States and I became good at it. But, from the time, I came to college I did not touch the Volleyball because I do not have enough time to play because we get a lot of Assignments in College. Another thing that I would like to share with everyone is that I love making Pizza and I am Pizza maker in Little Caesars Pizza. And I am working in Little Caesars Pizza from almost two and a half year. At last, I would like to say that “Nothing is Impossible”.
Who Am I?
Hi everybody! My name is Anastasiya. I love to draw, daydream, read books, and solve creative challenges. If I could describe my aspirations in one sentence, it would probably be, “Jack of all trades, but master of some.” This is because as a college student, it is very challenging decide what exactly to do in the future due to the different interests that exist.
For all four years of high school, I was immersed in the world of art. This includes sculpture, mixed media, and various forms of painting as well as drawing. Throughout those four years, I was also an active player in games such as League of Legends, Sims, Far Cry, and Assassins Creed. Due my love for both art and video games, in junior year of high school, I signed up for my first coding class. This class also educated students about the endless possibilities as well as opportunities in the tech field.
Fast forward to today, I am a sophomore in Baruch majoring in CIS, with the intention of becoming a front end web developer. Yet it is still challenging to say that this is the right path for me to take. On one hand I look up to tech savvy programmers, stay up at hackathons, and visit platforms like FreeCodeCamp or GitHub. On the other, I am also like Alice in Wonderland who has a whole world in her head and doesn’t want to give it up so she ends up drawing or reading Haruki Murakami all night. So how is this personality crisis to be solved?
Over this summer there was a program called Wix Design Playground. In this program, there were many creative individuals including designers, photographers, illustrators, and animators. At first I felt anxious since we were all different ages and levels. Yet soon the program became like a small family. Together we learned how to apply both our tech, as well as other creative skills to design websites. For my final portfolio website, I immersed myself into my own “Wonderland” and created a place for my illustrations. This experience has not only taught me that art and technology can intersect, it also revealed that I don’t have to have everything “figured out” at the moment.
The best part about attending Baruch is getting to meet many interesting people, learning something new in every class, and have the chance to explore various career paths. As a freshman, I used to worry about getting that 4.0 GPA and got super sad when saw my first B for Calculus. Yet as I enter this new school year, I think college success should not solidly be based the number that we see on our grade report. It is also about finding our true self and as people say, “it is more about the journey, not the destination.”
