My experience at Baruch has lived up to my expectations.  I expected it to be hard and a lot of work and it was.  I think my first semester at Baruch went alright.  My grades probably could have been better but I like all of the people I have met.  What i would do differently during my first semester if I could do it all again is I would probably study a little better and take my classes more serious.  I have changed a lot since I started Baruch.  I think I am more responsible.  I learned how to juggle softball and school, but mostly get all of my work done.

The first semester is almost over and I have been doing pretty good in most of my classes.  The fall season for softball just ended.  I did pretty good for my first college games.  My first game I pitched and struck out five people.  I also hit two triples.  My second game I caught and I threw two people out at second.   Right now I am in preseason so I mostly just train and get ready for the spring season.  I am very excited for the spring season.  I can’t wait to go on all the trips to away games.  I am especially excited for the trip to Canada.  I hope the season goes well and we win again this year.  I also hope i continue to do good in all of my classes.

I am Olivia Auman.  I am a dedicated athlete with a loving family.  I have a twin brother that I have barely anything in common with and an older sister.  My top three concerns about my freshman year at Barucha are getting good grades, doing good in softball, and getting all of my work done.  I need to get all of my work done to get good grades and i can’t play softball unless I get good grades.  I think my Baruch experience will be different than my high school experience because its college and not high school.  The work is a little harder and there is a lot more people.  My first year at college will change me by making me more responsible and mature.
