College, well college is going well. It’s a fun environment and the location of Baruch is outstanding. I love the neighborhood; it’s close to the heart of New York. My biggest challenge is organizing the due dates for my homework. Don’t get me wrong, I try to do my homework as early as I can so I can enjoy my life. All teenagers should enjoy their lives. Sometimes I feel like I forget to do an assignment for one class and I feel nervous and hope that I completed it. Thankfully, I have handed in all of my assignments thus far. I really enjoy Baruch. It’s a very diverse college and I have the ability to meet people of all different races. Aside from the diversity, I never get bored in between classes. There are so many activities, clubs, organizations and workshops that Baruch offers; it’s impossible not to do anything. That is something high school didn’t have much of. I’m enjoying it here. The main reason that I’m even in college right now is because of my parents; but more specifically, my mother. If it wasn’t for her, I would have been a drop out. I don’t even know what I would be doing now. She has been helping me with my studies ever since I learned the ABCs and 123s. She has devoted herself to my sister and I. She is important to me and I owe her my whole life; not even. I owe my mom my life and more. I remember when I was little, she always urged me to do my best and she made me sit down and write the alphabet for hours so I can have the neatest hand-writing in my class. Oh man, I realize how much she has helped me and she makes so many sacrifices. I’m not a mama’s boy, but I do love my mom a lot. Yeah, I do! A quality that is vital for everyone to possess is happiness. I think that happiness is the key to success. If you are happy, then everything that revolves around you makes you happy, as well and life seems so much better. I dislike serious people that don’t have a hint of humor in their bodies; it’s disgusting. Sports makes me happy; playing them and watching them on television. The sports that I follow and play are volleyball, swimming, football, basketball, and baseball. Oh! I recently learned how to ride a bike. I think that counts as a sport. Biking is a really good way to relieve stress and it is one of the best workouts. My family and friends also make me happy; their happiness and health are important to me. There are some people in this world who fear many things. Fear should be something to avoid. It’s not worth it to fear something. If a person is stuck in a fearful mind-set, they will get nowhere in life. Fear holds people back from accomplishing their goals. The best thing is to be happy, like I said before. No need to fear anything.
