As part of the cultural and artistic enlightenment, I have visited the Rubin Museum of Art. It was a great thing to do and I had some things to consider. For instance I had great pleasure glancing at those of pieces of art that were created by great craftsman. Even though they are determined to have been crafted centuries ago, their beauty cannot be repeated. I have been to couple of floors and saw different directions into art. The different art pieces showed me different ways to express art.

The Rubin Museum of Art is a great place to visit. The staff there seems to be much qualified and well presented. They will assist you with getting introduced to basic knowledge of art. You might ask them any questions you want and they will answer it to the best of their ability. There are different art pieces and some of us might get confused with its translation. There are sculptures, writings and even icons, at seeing which I was surprised. Icons are usually depictions of saints, while people come to pray or mourn on them. The icons are holy to people believing and hold great cultural value. From the background I come from, almost everyone of my family members hold an icon in their house. This visit to the museum helped me to reflect on where I am coming from and who I am. The art helps to complete us and who we are.

The photograph I attached to this blog is the one depicting a godless with the skull necklace. I liked this statue because the goddess is depicted wearing a skull necklace and sitting on top of a man. It seems as though she is in full control while disobedience causes someones head to end up on the necklace.

In my opinion I am the product of my society and community. The way I was raised will determine my future perspectives and future behaviors. I’m a freshman at Baruch College, which is already good to start with. Hopefully, with the education I will receive, I will be able to accomplish my goals in life and fulfill my human lust. I am a son to my mother and a sibling to my younger brother. I try to be the best son I could be, even though it is not always easy to agree with adults concerning your personal life. I am someone who is hoping to achieve something in life and reach some higher enlightenment, that will assure me that my life was not spent for nothing. Education, family and life mobility helps to reach that enlightenment state, by giving a chance to do the best you can and take the most you can carry.

As a freshman at Baruch College, I am concerned about whether I will be able to pass all my classes with better than average grades, whether I will be able to be more active in my school life and how I will be able to manage with my fellow peers. Since the beginning  of my school career, I didn’t have to put in too much effort to get a decent grades. Since my acceptance to college, I am concerned about whether I could push myself to do the best and not  the decent. Passing all my classes with good grades is important to me. In High School I wasn’t very active and I want to  change this cycle of behavior. I heard that activeness is the most important part of college career and if you won’t be active, good things will not come to you on a platter. Therefore it is my goal to get involved into more things. I learned that  sometimes communication skills can be more important than technicalities of the job. That is why I want to develop good social skills and meet with different kinds of people to understand where they coming from and what they are  about. As a freshman I have a lot of concerns and hopefully I will be able to calm them by the end of the year.

The things that will make my college experience different from that of high school, is that in college I will develop my real identity and not just learn general subjects. In high school we had to learn things that wouldn’t be really useful in our future careers. I college I will learn thing that will help me to find out who I am.

my first year in college will change me in the way that I will become more responsible. I will develop skills that will help me in the future career or life as a whole. There are a lot of people here that teach a lot and every day I come here, I learn something new.
