Charles Li- Guy!
What a great man, just kidding. Sitting down in the Mason Hall I couldn’t wait to leave. Nothing personal to Charles Li, or any school faculty, or anyone really, it is because I hate staying later than I should (lol). Other then that, I learned that what you do and where you take yourself make you who you are. Identity was discussed by Charles Li, and it made me realize even more how unique everyone is, and how much opportunity everyone in this world has. A man going from a whole different world, to standing in front of me giving a speech shows me that there are endless possibilities. What I do in the future and where I go will make me the person I am. Hopefully, I wont change much and still be around the family I love and the friends that are always there.
SCDC workshop
Entering the workshop I was ready to fall asleep. When I actually sat down I realized that this might be useful information, and I was right. The workshop gave me tips on many useful things I would need to know as I get older and start looking for jobs. Writing the right resume, and being able to give the right first impression at an interview are two things I needed to learn how to do, and this workshop definitely thought me how to do that. I also learned about other useful centers in Baruch College that I can go for tutoring but I already knew this. Now that I have more of a sense of what I need to do to actually get the right job, I will have to work on my resume and see where it takes me.
My Monologue – Guy
Wow how I want to be successful. I guess my view is different than others though. I mean all of these people definitely feel different than I do about life. What makes them happy? What is success? I wish I really knew, but do I? I mean, I do a lot throughout my day, and I’m still in school, plus I’m working so I guess I’m taking care of things. I guess to measure my success ill have to achieve my goals, and still be with the important people in my life. Making them happy while continuing with hard work is the ultimate goal. As long as I am still going to school though, because if I wasn’t, I would be hearing it from mom all day. She must think that school is the only way, but I cant say it isn’t because I’m still young with no real responsibilities. Thank G_d to my environment in Baruch that I am still here and actually enjoying my time. The people are easy going, and fun, not like most Brooklyn schools where everyone is competing to be better than the other. I also like the fact that I can walk for two minutes and find tons of places to eat, because I love to eat. The teachers are understanding and I can even say easy so far, but I hope that doesn’t change. I cant believe I was so nervous before I started college but now I’m just having fun, plus I cant wait to see who else I meet. I guess the only negative part to my day is the long commute. I hate being tired in the morning but whatever, I shouldn’t really complain because I sleep on the train anyway. Getting to school isn’t a big hassle, I even like walking out of the train station full of live people in the city. Sometimes I wish I had classes later, and more days off because I realized that my most exciting days are days off of school. I cant believe I’m making school sound like so much fun, common who am I kidding. I would enjoy my school life better with no homework, I don’t get how everyone can keep up with all the homework, I would have to be tied down because I’m such a procrastinator. I hope in 4 years after leaving this school I’m going meet new good friends and some interesting helpful people. Its always good to know more people, at the end its all about who we know right. By the time im older I hope that I can look back at school and my life, and be able to measure my success in the way I plan too.
Im so tired.
How can I start this blog? let me first tell you a little about myself before we get into the whole topic of Baruch. My name is Guy, make all the jokes you want I heard it all (lol). I was born and raised in Israel until I was 8 years old. I moved to the United States, and spent the rest of my life living in Brooklyn. Although there’s a lot of crazy people, I wouldnt want to grow up anywhere else. Let me get back to myself.. I’m a very social, and friendly kid with a lot of respect. I’m calm and laid back, and I love making new friends. Even in the short time I spent in Baruch I already feel comfortable stepping into school each morning seeing the familiar faces in my classes. I have an obsession with cars. Most people tell me that I stress too much but I just try to be prepared for every situation. Even though I’m still young, I’m always working and trying to somehow support myself and be independent. I love having fun and going out, I’m not the type of kid to stay home all day. I’m very materialistic, but I still appreciate everything. I have big dreams as most do and I hope one day I can get everything done. I love females. My family is number one no matter what, I love them to death. Im so tired.
Entering Baruch, and having to think about a whole new life experience in college, like most students, I had, and still have many concerns. Homework is my real ultimate concern. I hate spending so much time out of my day to read. During my high school years, school looked like a joke. Little by little I’m starting to realize that if I really want to succeed I will have to stay focused throughout every semester. The professors were also a concern I had before entering the school, but after a month, I can say that I am very happy with the choice of professors I got. Most of them are easy going, young, not too boring, and understanding. My last real concern are the finals =\. All of my friends who are already attending college told me how serious finals are and how much time studying has to be done, I’m not sure if I’m mentally prepared for all of that but we’ll see.
The main thing that will make my Baruch College experience different from my high school experience is New York City, along with the freedom. The outside life of high school for me was very boring, very different from the life in the city. Every morning I wake up seeing all the people walking around to their jobs, or schools, or G_d knows what, and it makes me feel good. I hate being in dead areas with no people, especially early in the morning when I am half asleep. The freedom in the classes are also amazing. Being able to just walk out of class to go to the bathroom or even get some food is something I am not used to.
I hope my first year at college will mature me, and educate me more about the real world, and how to deal with new things. As I am getting older I will have to start taking care of things by myself, which is something I am not good at, considering I am a very lazy person. I hope I will meet new friends, and gain some great new experiences in life that I can look back too.
Anyways the word count reached 600 already, I guess its time to go.
