a. Tell us who you think YOU are!
West Philadelphia, born and raised; on the playground is where I spent most of my days. Chillin’ out, maxin’ and relaxin’ all cool – I was shooting some b-ball outside of the school: When a couple of guys (they were up to no good) started making trouble in my neighborhood. I got in one little fight and my mom got scared and said, “You’re moving with auntie and uncle in Bel Air”.
I eventually moved to New York and became the person I am today. There’s not much else I can say about myself. If you really want to see my likes and interests and all that stuff, add me on facebook.

b. Share your top 3 concerns about your freshman year at Baruch College and explain why
My top three concerns are having to deal with a college workload, money management and finding time to sleep.
My courses aren’t difficult (they are a little challenging but nothing I can’t handle) – it’s the workload that I am having trouble with. It’s not always actual homework either – sometimes it’s just a lot of reading. It’s been years since I’ve done so much reading- in high school, all I had to do was print out and read the Sparknotes (hahaha) but now the readings I have to do are readings from texts or obscure works of literature.
c. So far, what do you think will make your Baruch College experience different from your high school experience?
I CAN’T USE SPARKNOTES ANYMORE.
d. How do you think your first year at College will change you?
I hope my first year of college will make me more responsible and at the same time, more fun. Finding the right balance of both is key to having a great college experience (or at least, that’s what I’ve heard).
