I do not think I am the right judge of myself. I would probably make a biased reflection of myself. However in my opinion I see myself as a good friend, a son who tries to honor his parents, a sibling, a brother, a student and a good neighbor. I am one who sets high hopes for myself though reaching them might not be easy, I always try my best to reach them. I try to be humble, tactful, cautious and honest. Others my view these qualities as weaknesses, I see them as my strengths. I like to learn from others and from my daily experiences. I am usually in the gym a lot building my muscles. It is one way I try to release stress. At others times you will find me either playing soccer or watching my favorite team Manchester United play.
Just like every other student I have many concerns about my life in college. My top concern is what I will do with my life in the future. In high school I was very good in my business classes and that was my biggest motivation in choosing this college. However, as things progressed, I reassessed my life and have seen that I have lost interest in it. I will probably have to transfer to another college but I do not know yet.
My next concern is making new friends. During my first year of high school, I made friends with people that got me in situations I shouldn’t have been in. Later it was really hard letting go of these friends. I do not want to make the same mistake twice. I will like to be friends with people who will be up building and have a positive influence on me.
Furthermore, another concern I have is to live up to the expectations of my parents who have high hopes for me. I do not want to disappoint them. In the same way, I would also like them to see that I am only human and that there will be times I will not do as they might have expected.
So far I do not think my experience here will be that different from high school. I come from a high school that basically guarantees most of the freedoms I have in college. The only difference I see is that in college, I will have to be more responsible and throw away my immature personalities.
I think my first year will make me more responsible, industrious and realistic and will prepare me for obstacles to be faced in the real world.
