Who do I think I am? That is not really a tough question to answer because I think I have a good idea about myself. I can be generally out going when I want to be. In addition, the stupidest things have a tendency to come out of my mouth. Overall I can be described as lazy, vindictive, spiteful, and cheerful person. I was born in New York City, so English was my first language, although I am capable of speaking the Tai Shan dialect of Chinese at home. However my English is a lot better than my Chinese. My neighborhood is located in the northern part of the Brooklyn borough, where Queens and Brooklyn meet up. In fact I can see the BQE (Brooklyn Queens Expressway) from my house. It takes me about 2 minutes to walk to the BQE, so that shows how close I am to Queens and far away from the rest of Brooklyn despite actually living in the borough.
In my freshman year I hope to get good grades in college as well as make new friends at the same time. And most important of all, live the college experience. Getting good grades in college is important because good grades mean a good gpa, a good gpa means a better resume. I want to make new friends like most of the people that go to college. College is just another important chapter in my life that I must live through.
Baruch has been satisfying so far. It met my expectations dead on. The people I meet are interesting as well, however for a college that is so diverse, I find it odd that my high school had a more diverse crowd personality wise. So far, a lot of the people seem similar to each other. College will require more work than in high school and the stakes are higher, however the workload is still very manageable compared to the workload I had for my junior year of high school. Furthermore the classes don’t meet every day and only on 4 days of the week leaving in more free time for me to sleep and just relax in general. Money is another important aspect. I really miss the student metro cards and not having to pay for textbooks. In college, its quite the opposite, in addition college has an annual tuition that needs to be paid. I will need to work harder to get what I want out of college.
My first year in college should be able to make me more independent as well as more hardworking. I’ve been very emotionally unstable in high school due to the workload or lack of workload. I hope that the workload will keep me occupied so that I won’t become emotionally unstable, but at the same time not too much work that I become emotionally unstable. Overall I want to become more independent as well as richer because I work on Fridays. The combination of college and work should help me become more responsible as well as independent.
