There are several words to describe myself. I believe that I am a carefree and optimistic person. These characteristics derived from a quote that I was inspired by which said “Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live the world they’ve been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It’s an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It’s a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.” This quote was written by John Maxwell. From this quote, I believed that a carefree and optimistic personality would help me achieve the impossible. From that point on I became a carefree person that looked towards the positive of the situation. When I look at the positive side, nothing seems bad at all.
My three concerns at Baruch is getting the kind of education I want. My highest concern is my grades. I don’t want to be an average Baruch student, I want to do excellent in all my classes. My second concern is learning how to use my resources at Baruch efficiently. I am still new to the school so there are many things I do not know. I want to learn all the resources available to be and take advantage of them especially the academic advisers. My last concern is to learn to have a better mapped out future. I hope through my Baruch experience I will truly know how I want my future to be. At this point, I only know that I want to be an accountant.
My Baruch experience will definitely be a lot better than my high school experience. At Baruch, freedom comes with responsibility. In high school, the DOE limits the students action especially the internet. In college, I have the freedom to do what I want but I also need to be more responsible for my school work. The work load has definitely increased between high school and college but at the same time I get more time.
My first year of college will drastically change me. It will allow me to understand my own capabilities and take advantage of them. I would learn how to manage my time more efficiently. Baruch will also help me shape the path I would want to take for the next few years at Baruch.
