I am Tony, and I have been NY for fifteen months. I remember when I studied in ELI at QC one year ago, I was so scared when I spoke English in class. However, I am not scared any more to talk in class now, and I even gave a few times presetations in class. I think this is a big improving for me. Even though I am not as good as other public speakers and a little bit scared when stand in front of class, I will keep practicing and trying my best.
There are two things that really annoy me. First of all, I am living in Queens with my parents. It is really annoying that it takes me 1 hour to go to school. I am getting tried to get up early in the moring every day. Second of all, assignments are my another annoyance. As we know that the mid-term is coming soon, so I need to be prepared. As other college students, the GPA is very important for me. I want to get a good grades on my first exam, so I will pay my 200% attention to this mid-term. In China, I never cared about how I will do on midterm and final because the scores which I got on midterm and final were not as important as here, except the last year.
In short, I want to say I really get improved a lot at Baruch. I used to be afraid to speak English, but I can stand in front of class and give speech now. Also, I used to be a lazy student, but I try my best on every assignments now. No matter how hard is going to be in next few years, I will keep going and do my best.
