Status Report

My time at Baruch has been so far satisfactory, not perfect. The college met my expectations of being a place filled with helpful people and resources. This semester has progressed reasonably well, with a few exceptions, but was overall acceptable. If I were to live through my first semester again, I would not have come to school as early as I had on days which classes were canceled with short notice, and find my way around more quickly. I have learned how it is like to not do well in a class. I have also learned how to complete tasks more speedily.

Who Am I?

I was born in Northeastern China and have lived there until around 7 years ago. I play many roles to others; friend, child, little cousin…-you name it. I wish to be helpful to others and be reliable when they need my assistance. I sometimes find myself struggling to manage time efficiently, and I often suffer from laziness. A time I’ve felt embarrassment or regret was when I was forced to give away my favorite white toy car (thumb-sized) to the child of my father’s acquaintance at a dinner because he didn’t want the bad green car I brought for his use. I treasure my family the most. I cannot bear to lose any of my relatives. I cannot stand heights or the thought of blood and the like (the sight of them is fine), either. I look forward to meeting new people in my first year at Baruch and I hope to do well in my classes.

Intro

My name is Yang, Yangde, but I am also known as Max. I am still uncertain of my calling in life, and hope to get a better idea by the end of my college experience as well as encounter people to form meaningful relationships with and learn from.

I am worried that perhaps I am lacking in social skills that would allow me to communicate effectively with my peers. I am also concerned about the crowding on the campus. I fear that I may not able to access all of the facilities and resources offered when I need them. The future workload in my courses is also unclear, but I hope I can manage my time well and develop enough skills in the subjects to tackle the work.

Baruch College is slightly more disorganized than my high school, but it seems to allow more freedom in electronic device usage, including that of personal computers, phones, and media players. Entrance to the building also seem more lenient, as people can pay a visit without much difficulty.

With the passage of a school year, I shall become reasonably more knowledgeable in general academic fields, make some new friends, and discover new interests. I vow to improve my character and attempt to experiment with what Baruch has in store.
