1. Hello everyone, my name is Kimberly Delgado and I describe myself as hardworking yet lazy simultaneously. I always do my work whenever I need to, however, it is never done earlier and I find myself rushing to get everything done in order to meet the designated due date. It is not a good habit but at least I am able to accomplish my tasks.
2. One of my main concerns during my freshman year at Baruch College are my eating habits. When I was in high school, I always ended school early and I was able to go home to eat or sometimes I would go after-school to volunteer at a hospital, which provided free food. However, this semester, I finish very late during certain days, which requires me to spend money on my food or bring food from home. I’m worried that all I will eat is junk food, which doesn’t provide the essential vitamins or nutrients. My second concern is deciding what club or group to join. I’ve heard that Baruch has over 200 clubs, which makes it difficult to decide where I feel I would appropriately belong. My third concern is figuring out what to do during the long gaps between classes. I would definitely had preferred that all my classes were consecutive but for this semester it wasn’t possible. I hope that I am able to use my time productively and wisely.
3. My Baruch College experience will be different from my high school experience in the aspect that my attitude towards school has changed. During my time in high school, I worked extremely hard to get good grades in order to be accepted into a good college. However, I feel that I’m finally working toward accomplishing my dreams and I’m closer to it with each passing second. In high school, all my teachers and faculty would encourage students to get good grades but not many students saw the purpose of it. Now, I am able to see the reason to work hard while enjoying the learning experience.
4. My first year at college will definitely change my work habits. As I mentioned before, I never got my work done a week or days before it was due but now I feel that I can’t leave everything for the last minute. If I do, then I would provide poor quality work to my professors. I do not plan to let my bad work habits affect my college career and ultimately, I will either gradually change or force myself to change in order to succeed.
