I walked home in the rain yesterday. On my way home, I caught a glimpse of my reflection in a puddle on the sidewalk. Even though I only had a second’s glance, I noticed something has changed about me. I looked motivated. I am a laid back guy. I used to do just enough to satisfy academic requirements. This was probably because I found school to be dull and easy. But everything is different now. I am a Baruch College student. The college atmosphere has changed me for the better. I see myself as a normal student with hidden potential. I dislike my pessimistic attitude towards my capabilities. This often holds me back from success. My biggest challenge is to become willing to push myself out of my comfort zone. I know what I am capable of, but I am always shy about it. I am hard working when I want to be. I am spontaneous when I need to be. I am brave when I have to be. I’ve decided to take a new approach. Now that I’m in college, I’ll push myself to become a better student. One day, I’ll be able to expose my inner self with the potential of being the next accountant. Why can I do this? Because I know I can!
