The other day an acquaintance of mine asked me “Who do you think you are?” and that got me thinking, “Maybe I should write a blog about that.”

So here I am. First off, my name is Kevin Persaud. As far as I know I’m an 18 year old Guyanese/American young man who was born and raised in the great area that we can New York. All thought I was born in America I take great pride in my culture and language and enjoy practicing it regularly. I am an only child, so I’m used to having the spotlight shone on me. I also have one of the most common first names around which can sometimes make it harder for me to be a unique as I want, but I usually find other ways to deal with that. I grew up in Queens and have dreams of moving to (Manhattan) someday. This is part of the reason I love Baruch so much.

In my spare time I love to travel to new places. I’ve been to many parts of the world Caribbean, Europe, & South America. Also I LOVE to DANCE, pretty much if I hear anything that has a good beat I can start dancing to it pretty quickly. You could also describe me as a sort of media buff because I like to keep up with many TV shows and with both Hollywood and Bollywood movies.

I had many concerns about my freshman year at Baruch College. Like many other freshmen I started out this year extremely nervous about how my time at Baruch will turn out. One of my top concerns about my freshman year was that I was going to get a few of those evil teachers you see on T.V. who takes pleasure in torturing their students. Thankfully I did not have to worry about that because I found my professors to so far be very good and helpful. Another concern of mine is that I would not like the people around Baruch, but any worries I had about that were taken away on the first day when I realized all the people that were in my block are in all of the same classes as me. My last concern was that I would be constantly getting myself lost. I still am finding myself a little bit lost at times but it is not as bad as expected.

There are many differences between Baruch and High School. For example, I now have lecture classes that require me to pay more attention to the professor and take detailed notes. Also in some of my classes I enjoy the small student to teacher ratio we have, because it allows for more interaction with the professor.

I have high hopes for Baruch College. I believe that my time at Baruch will change the way I look at the world and everything in it. At the same time Baruch will also introduce me to exciting new things while opening many doors for me.
