Hello everyone,

My name is Gilda Capo, but usually I go by my baptisms name which is Ana. I am a new transfer student at Baruch starting off this semester. I transferred from Saint Petersburg College in Clearwater, Florida. This is my first semester at Baruch, but I am a junior majoring in finance. I quit school for close to four years and decided to go back and finish my studies. I chose Baruch for the great reputation it has in business. 

Momentarily, I am working on reorganizing my life and putting everything together. I am also taking six classes because I want to finish school as soon as I can; however, I also have applied for a job position at Chase, and I hope I will be one of their selected employees. In the past I have worked many different job positions in customer service, sales and management, waitressing, etc. 

Lately I haven’t had a lot of free time, but usually I spend my free time hanging out with my family, mostly my brother and cousins, watching Netflix, reading or going out with friends or family. I like helping people, especially the elderly, because they remind me of my grandmother and her sacrifices to raise me and my brother, and I think that group of people are the ones that need more care and love nowadays.

My strength is my attitude that I am always ready to take up the challenges and strive for excellence. However, I have a very positive view of life and I accept both success and failures. I think that there is no success without failure and failures teach people the best lessons of their lives. I believe in myself, and my hard work and I want to get ahead in life and help everyone that comes along my way.

My goal for the moment is to get back on track of studies and school as soon as possible. I am so excited to have started this new chapter of my life and be working on myself to grow personally and professionally. I am happy to have gotten back into college life and I am very happy to have such well-prepared college classmates.

My long-term goal after graduating is focusing on finding the right job for me to get a great training to prepare me for the future. I want to know more about investment banking and corporate finance and later I want to open a business with my brother. 

That is all about me. I am looking forward to a great semester with all of you.
