The thought of going to the museum, especially one that was not well known seemed odd to me. I have never heard of the Rubin museum and from the name of it I didn’t think it was anything special. It wasn’t until I had actually gone inside that my mind completely changed. Every floor had a dominant theme; some floors were Buddhist while others were contemporary and modern. The work that most caught my attention was a picture of Times Square. That historic landmark – right in the heart of the city that never sleeps… was completely empty! No one was walking or on the streets, but all the lights that we are accustomed to seeing was on. That was exactly how I felt in the Rubin museum. It was located in the city, but it seemed so relaxed and warming. Overall the event was an eye opener and I am glad I went to see it.

I felt that the career discovery program was very helpful. I found out a lot about where to go for internships and employment opportunities. The staff also should offer help toward carrer paths. The most useful piece of help they offer for me at this current time is how to write a resume. The STARR center is a vital asset and i feel that this workshop was very beneficial to me as a student.

I feel that the book was an important eye opener. It showed how a boy goes through a new envoirnemnt, totally foreign from his own. This compared to our situation because as new students at Baruch College we were placed in a new enviornment where we didnt know what to expect. Through this lesson, we should always remember not to judge people based on where there from because we are all different people – with different combinations of traits that makes us unique.

In terms of the conference, I got most of the key points. I understood that we all at one point or another ask who we are? or why are we here ? it is important to always be aware of where you stand and if you loose track, to find yourself.  No matter where were from, we always have obstacles to overcome.

Your mind, body, soul – everything in perfect harmony
From your straight light brown hair to your gorgeous green eyes, to that cute walk of yours
Your smile – in my head, at one point – the 8th wonder of the world
For you there were no rules – you were the exception to the rule

I continued to be blinded,
Until one day I had awoken
I realized that you weren’t in Harmony
That your mind changed with the tides
You, yourself had no idea what you wanted, but made me believe it was I you desired
For that I am not upset, simply stronger now
For you, you’ve realized that I’m not around
Now your upset, cause you need that shoulder to lean on
You give worth to something after you loose it
But im not gonna be the one that you can always run to
My heart beats but for you its quiet

 I think that I am a unique invdividual that is very simple, but yet complicated for others too understand. I enjoy the simple things in life – friends, girls, hanging out, etc. I am very success driven – If I need to do something, it will always get done! My top 3 concerns for my first year at baruch is not keeping up with homework, avoiding latenss to class, and preventing failure in a class. I do believe that my Baruch college experience will be different from that of High School because, for starters, I will fool around less – if at all. I realize that there isnt much room for error in college and professors wont take late assignments or go over homework like my teachers did in High school. Finally I hope to enjoy my time in the city. there is a lot to appreciate here. Theres the mecca of basketball in Madison Square Garden. theres Broadway with its world class talent; central park with its plant like atmosphere. The city, and in a big way Baruch College are big places where new and life remembering experiences will be made. My first year in college will hopefully make me a responsible person. I have always been one who doesnt run from challenge, but who takes it head on. I also see myself pulling a 10 page paper like nothing after my first year.
