Who am I?
My name is William Chang. I’m Chinese, and speak both Mandarin and Cantonese. I was born here, so I am Americanized, with a touch of oriental culture. I love playing basketball, running, biking, and wrestling. I am a natural born leader, the one that is always willing to take the initiative. I have an obsession of caring for others, regardless of how serious the issue is. I come off as an intimidating and scary person (well at least thats what many people tell me), but I just might be one of the nicest guys you’ll ever meet. I love to joke around and receive attention, which may portray me as an obnoxious person, but I’m really not. I am one of those people that will push past 100% percent.
Anyways, I have quite a few concerns about college. It’s been about a month already, which felt like 2 weeks, indicating just how busy I’ve been. My main concern is to do well in school and acquire a good amount of knowledge to start my own business. Another concern to me is making new friends. I’ve been very reserved and shy throughout my entire life, but I feel like college is the opportunity for me to just open up. I’ve met a lot of people so far, and feel like I’m off to a good start!
Baruch is a pretty big transition from high school, especially considering the fact that I just left senior year. I barely had any school work senior year, so coming into college was just a sudden burst of stress and anxiety. I’m enjoying everything so far though, except for the commute, which is really starting to get to me. I feel like the 4 hours that I spend commuting is longer than my entire school day.
I’m very excited for what College has in store for me. I expect to make many improvements to myself and many new friends. I feel that after I am out of Baruch, I will be an evolved and transformed person.
