Eighteen is a big number and before you know it twenty-one is coming. My name is Daniel Kai Shum and I see myself as a very ambitious young man that is always seeking new opportunities to grow. I am very hard headed and like to do everything on my own without the help of others. Hobbies of mine vary immensely from building legos and figures to traveling around the world. Most people tell me I am outgoing but I find myself very shy at times I am selective and hope to one day be on top of the world.
Three concerns of mine for freshman year include not messing up my gpa because after all college is like a new beginning you choose who you want to be and your gpa has a big say. I want to make many new connections and succeed to finally feel that I have achieve something in life. Concerns of mine also lay in being able to find the right group of close friend and the right clubs to join because that will distinguish me from the rest. The close friends and clubs I join will stay with me forever. Lastly I am concerned about the various tests I have to face coming into Baruch and taking subjects I am not great at.
The difference between my college experience to high school experience will be that I am going to try a lot harder and make it count. The real life is waiting for me. The first year of college will change me to getting ready, getting smart and being prepared. I will be a better and more intellectual person
In searching for the right club or the right friend, you may overlook something that will forever change you for the better. Don’t be afraid to expand your horizons and join a group totally not in the norm for you. You may be quite surprised to find something truly amazing. Baruch has a lot to offer: http://www.baruch.cuny.edu/studentaffairs/StudentLife/clubs/undergrad.htm
