LEARNING COMMUNITY 13

I knew having a college life would be hard, but it didn’t hit me yet until now. In the beginning, I was like whatever about everything; I wasn’t serious about my education. Now, I have less than a month to cram in study guides for finals, final papers to give in and a math class that I still find hard to keep up with. Overall, I have to say that it’s been great. I was lucky enough to be put in the best community, with awesome classmates and a mentor who actually cares about us. I don’t have to wake up so early anymore like in high school and I only have school 4 days a week. And on top of that, I think I made it. I have probably 3 weeks left of school and my first semester of Baruch is nearly over. Normally, I don’t like the idea of changing my past to rewrite my future, but there is one thing I do want to white out: don’t take this type of education with a lazy conscious. I have to work my butt off now, because I’m definitely falling a bit behind in my classes. I definitely did change since the first day of class. I was meeting a whole new wave of people and felt a bit shy, but those people were the best in all the learning communities. I’m starting to get over my fear of raising my hand and speaking in class. Shyness is a major issue that I’ve been dealing with, but Baruch is definitely helping me overcome this problem. Thank you Baruch. Thank you LC13 classmates and thank you Katherine Azcona.
