the academic advisement session very clearly and articulately fufilled its purpose. It would have definitely interested me if i hadn’t already gone through the baruch website a plethora of times checking out the requirements for each degree and so on. I wish it was held when i was wondering which courses to take and what i needed to graduate, rather than after i had all that figured out. Otherwise, greats session.

thanks

i visited the starr center. i was told that i should go to one of their work shops if i wanted more information. the only issue with this is that i am not free during either workshop. The fine women at the desk refused to give me further information. After checking it out online, however, i figured out that they do something like help you put together a resume and help you sell who you are to potential employers, and they have access to job offers, etc.

it seems that ironically, the first class of freshman seminar that i missed would actually be the most useful one offered to us student. Unfortunatelly sickness cannot be timed, however i am certainly interested in the center and will look it up on my own time. This post is dedicated to satisfying the mandatory requirement of filling a void of space with a blog about the starr eperience.

wish i was there

sorry

Primarily, I am bewildered by the fact that the people who are in charge of our freshman seminar course didnt realize that i attended the assembly; god knows where they were when i was dragging a quarter of the class to the front row. That was certainly a very interesting result of my dedication to the program.

I was certainly inspired by the four speakers in the front, although i didnt learn alot despite listening to what they had to say. 90 percent of the assembly was charles e lee, author of the bitter sea, telling stories and reminiscing on his childhood. Ill infer that the point of the assembly was to get us, the students, to think more about who we are as individuals and where we came from.

this is me

3 minute monologue.

If there is one thing that i like in this world, it is being able to do what i want, when i want to do it. I like having the capability to snowboard, to drive a fast car at a fast pace, and to enjoy the company of other people on a regular basis. I understand that being able to to what one wants, however, is symptomatic of having enough money to dispel time consuming responsibilities that are not preferable. That is why i am going to college; so that if i should not have a genius idea to take over the world as mark zuckerburg did, i can at least have a place to start. That brings me to what i hate, which is coincidentally a lot of what college has entailed so far. Constraints, such as writing papers that i have no interest in or blogging on a website as a prerequisite to completing a course that yields no credit, define the most prominent stresses in my life. I wouldn’t consider myself a role model per say, however i would consider myself inspirational to some people that i am acquainted with. This is because i have a way of making some people do things which are productive, whether thats by dragging uninterested friends to the library, or by telling a friend that he will never drive an m3 if he doesn’t start going to wall street club. I also create an example for some friends by doing things that i hate, because it is the more responsible thing to do in a situation. These actions usually consist of blogging, going to work, or writing a paper.

My name is Adam Ibrahim. I enjoy a multitude of daily activities and affairs. It would be preposterous to attempt reiterating even a fraction of the ideas that run through my mind on a daily basis.

The greatest three issues i am facing at baruch thus far are the quality of my math related work, or lack thereof, not knowing where to look for possible scholarship opportunities, and learning to cope with the new and more complicated enviroment that is intertwined with my early college life.

after a mere month and three days at Baruch college, i have gained a far deeper respect for education and the obtaining of knowledge. When i recall high school it seems extraordinarily ludicrous to my that i did not utilize any of the potential that i had. Henceforth, i will make certain that i over-perform any and all goals that i take into consideration with concern to the educational process.

Lastly, i find the question “who am I” to be unreasonable for my current state, and would find it an act of idiocy to try to effectively answer this question. If i knew just exactly “who i was”, i probably would not be pursuing a full time college career. As a teenager in the midst of my development in body and character, I am enrolled at Baruch to build the knowledge which, i should hope should leave me somewhat more equipped to make the determination of who i am as a person, and what i intend to do with whatever days of which the life that i have left consists of. I am quite sure that my fellow freshman students would agree with this perception of the question.
