Who do you think you are? A question that is universal yet vague. The answer is never straight but open-ended. A question with a formulate answer to assert it. I am a flirt. I am shy. I am short. Even though it is a universal and vague question, the hidden meaning is direct – Who am I?
Who am I, Who do you think you are- I am a conflicted soul. I want to be ambitious and be rich like Rockefeller, Gates, and Buffett. I wonder if can I reach financial success with humble or integrity like Andrew Carnegie or deceit, cheat, and steal like Bernie Madoff. I want to be inspiring and be model for future generations like Obama, Kennedy, and Clinton. I want to encourage the public to tap into their potential or I can steal their potential for my own success. I want to be innovative and creative like Edison, Jobs, and Toyoda. I want to improve the world and make the impossible into possible or I can be innovative base on other people work. I want to be a great polymath like Franklin, Da Vinci and Aristotle. It’s amazing to be a Renaissannce Man, a specialist on a wide variety of topics or I can be a Jack of all trade and master of none and lie my way to the top. So, tell you who I think I am. I am Amenaghawon Enoma that knows what he wants but conflicted on the type of direction to take to reach it. Shall it be Integrity or Hypocrisy?
Freshman year at Baruch have been amazing so far but I have some concern. The top 3 are:
Baruch is known for its business program but I have research schools and their career returns. It is not has much as the Ivy League especially during the stagnant economy we have. Will Baruch be able to help me to achieve my dream goal?
Another concern I have is the four teachers cannot teach well. I cannot say bad teaching but the four teachers except for professor Pyson do not bring life to the class, there is no enthusiasm. It feels that most classes in Baruch will be banal. Banal classes do have poor grades and I do not want nothing less than a 3.8.
My last concern is that events are held but no food. Food is huge a factor for social networking. It’s a universal and I am always hungry so I need food when events are being held.
The Baruch experience is different from high school is the diversity. College is the only institution where diversity connect the world together. So I am connected with different people with different background. While high school was majority African-American.
How do you think your first year at college will change you? I do not know I can be the same kid from high school or a different person. That’s what make college especially Baruch fun.
