First when I got the question ‘who you think you are’, I had divided the answer into two parts by 2 different periods of time, from now and in the future. Now I am a freshman of Baruch College in this year. That is who I am today and who really want to be a successful student in the college. But I am a little bit lost about who I want to be in the future of my life. To become a woman who work so hard for her job or just a pretty normal person walking on the 34th street, of course I hope the first phrase can come true one day but I am also wondering whether I really have the ability to reach that goal or not. But from now, I believe I am a person who will try my best to achieve the goal that I really want.

The top three concerns about my freshman year in Baruch College are how to get high GPA on my transcripts, which interesting club I should join, and who I am going to know in this new community. High GPA is one of the most important topics that always appear in the conversations of people in the college because they all know those GPAs are going to affect their entire life. It directly relates to their future career and I totally realize it. Club is also the thing we can’t ever miss in our college life. Several days ago, I posted a status on my facebook that is ‘it will be so regretful if we are not going to club in college,’ and many people agreed with me. I believe there is a lot of fun in clubs and that is also one of the places that we can meet friends for life. Baruch College has a really large population and I am really excited about knowing new friends here because I believe here is the last period of time before we start to consider about our own interests every day.

My high school experience was really boring, nothing exciting. My high school didn’t have any sports terms and outdoor conventions for fun and neither other interesting parties, maybe I was in the bilingual classes so I knew less things about the school because of the language problem. But all I did was going to school in the morning and leaving after my classes had done every day. Sometimes I even think my junior high was more interesting than my high school. So I can’t wait to join a club in the college or to participate in other activities for getting into the community much more than what I did in high school and to make it fun.

I think after the first year in Baruch, I will be much more responsible to myself and also to other things. In here, I have to follow up all the things I have to do for myself, there is nobody can help you to fix your mistake or failing grade any more. So we have to understand what we suppose to do and what we definitely can’t do. And I am pretty sure I will be more mature than now a year later.
