Hey, this is Rezwan Chowdhury. I’ve never had to describe myself to anyone. I think i’m still in the process in developing myself. Average is a word that would definitely express who i am. Athletically, academically, physically, etc. I love playing sports, primarily basketball. I’m not team caliber but love the game. I do well in school, nothing fantastic or amazing. At first impression you may think i’m timid or shy but once we pass that stage i can crack a joke here have a laugh there. I try to be very modest in my behavior and actions. I don’t like attracting attention. I recently discovered the beauty of Islam and strive to be the best Muslim i can be. I try to express the true nature of Islam, despite the events in the media. You can call me a spiritual person, but i think i have a long way to go. Many of my friends think I’m lazy, i think I’m laid back, sometimes too laid back. I’m a procrastinator, like many teens, something that I’m trying to rid of. I like to read to pass time but not so fond about writing. I like to workout but i stopped because i didn’t have access to the gym but i intend to utilize Baruch’s gym. All in all, i’m just a ‘regular’ guy.
My top concern for my freshman year at Baruch is getting involved. There is an abundance of clubs and organizations and i look forward to being affiliated with more than three. I hope this can help me make good friends and get to know people at Baruch, my second concern. Friends at college last for the rest of your life and i hope i can make friends that i can rely on and trust. Friends that will last deep into the future. Also the business field requires connections and i hope to achieve that through friends, clubs, and organizations. My third concern is grades. Ever since high school i have been hearing how difficult college is. Especially because most don’t know how to manage time. So far, the work load i received isn’t as burdensome. My goal is to have a GPA of 3.8 or higher.
The Baruch experience is very different from my high school experience. The college environment will definitely take some time to adjust to. I need to start becoming more responsible and independent. Juggling time with friends, study, and work is something that i have to figure out. There won’t be anyone to constantly remind me of assignments to finish or chapters to read. This experience is something i will embrace.
My first year at Baruch will change the way i manage time and make decisions. When to spend time with friends and when to go to the library and hit the books. I expect my perspective of the world to broaden through the classes i take and the people i meet. I look forward to this 4 year Baruch experience.
