Freedom

1. I think I’m an outgoing personality who has used my personality to get by in school up to this point. I have the ability to do very well here at Baruch, but I have to keep my focus on my work and not get lured into the city life. Commuting from Long Island definatly helps but at the same time I can come to the city anytime I want. I’m a good person although I do sometimes come off as obnoxious and arrogant, but I believe thats because I have an inner confidence in myself. I have no complaints or regrets about anything that I’ve done in my life and I look forward to the next four years.

2. My biggest concern about Baruch is the commute. I commuted around an hour and twenty minutes each way and the day is just very long. I can get work done on the train but I’m worried the commute is gonna burn me out. I’m concerned about the work load because I coasted through the last 3 years of high school. I was voted worst case of senioritis in my graduating class for a reason. I’m concerned about the city life. I think I got my of my partying out of my system by now, but the city’s a whole other animal.

3. Baruch is completly different from high school because it’s a completly independant experience with no one holding your hand. I didn’t really rely on the hand holding in high school and did my own think, it was still a safety blanket. I like the independance and I was ready to get away from high school and the cliques that go along with it. i felt as though kids had stopped maturing at my high school and it was time to grow up. Going to Baruch and dealing with everything that goes along with it, it forces you to grow up.

4. I don’t think my first year of college will change me at all. I don’t really forsee a “growing” experience. I think the only thing I will do is improve my study habits but other than that I am who I am.
