Who am I? Not only is it important to know who I believe myself to be, but to know those small little things that make me different from everyone else. Without the knowledge of myself I would be lost in a world were you can be left behind if you are still figuring things out. Let’s start with the things that I know about myself already and I am positive there is more to learn about myself in the future. My name is Syeda Nessa. I am seventeen years old and I am a typical college student with just some few quirky characteristics. I am always a very helpful person. I have a hard time saying no to people when they need help. I guess you can say that I am generous with my time. I love learning new things and soak up bits and pieces of information like a sponge. I hate not knowing something and if I don’t know something I have to look it up. My favorite hobbies include cooking, reading, and eating chocolate. I am a chocoholic and can eat tons of chocolate for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I like my rest but after a while I get stir crazy if I am not doing something. I been always described as an even tempered person except for the times my temper flares, other then that I am a really friendly and can even get along with my enemy. I am a natural worrier and I am really concerned about my freshman year in college.
So far integrating into the college life has been difficult. I am troubled about the amount of work that is given by the professor. I am also anxious about my ability to be able to complete the work efficiently. I am not so sure if my intellectual skills are up to college level. I am afraid that I am going to fail my classes during my first semester at Baruch, if I don’t study day and night. Mostly I am concerned that I am not up to the standard of a college student. My uneasiness lies in the fact that my high school experience will not be enough to continue my education.
So far my experience at Baruch shows that high school and college are two completely different entities. I know that Baruch will be able to give me further knowledge and education in the field that I am interested in. I believe Baruch can give me the experience needed for me to be a worldlier and open minded person and that starts during the first year.
I am absolutely sure that my first year at Baruch will change me forever. I will know this year, whether I am college material or not. I will know if I am capable of handling working under pressure and stress. This year at Baruch will further enhance my knowledge of me and in finding out what career path is right for me. Baruch will transform me from a teenage student to a capable adult.
