hi this is tommy kiriakos and im doing this a little on the late side so im going to try and free style this. I’ll start with the basics i am currently nineteen. i live in Staten island new York. i am full Egyptian and i know some arabic.i have been attending Baruch just under a month and from what i have experienced so far my greatest three concerns have to be getting there everyday and thats because my commute takes about an hour and forty five minutes to two hours and i often oversleep. my second biggest concern is the workload mostly for my English class its like i didn’t know anything about real writing before this class. the rest of my classes are challenging but defiantly manageable.my third concern is in regards to all presentations im expected to do. i severely hate public speaking but from what i hear im not alone there. My thoughts of Baruch so far is it is a college that thoroughly prepares its students for their futures. all of the people i have meet have been nice and helpful. the classes are all somewhat challenging,like i said earlier, but thats probably to be expected for someone just out of high school. The way that i think my first year at baruch will change me by making me more open to things in life,and hopefully i will get over my fear of speaking in public.
