Overwhelming
Hey hows it going, my name is Jordan Ovadia. I’m currently 18 years old and live in Brooklyn , NY which means I commute to school everyday. In the period of time that I have been in college (roughly 1 month), the first thing that I had realized was that this is not high school anymore. College is a lot more challenging and puts way more responsibility on the individual as there is no one on top of you constantly reminding you what you need to do or where you need to be. College is all on you. I originally wanted to go away to college to Syracuse University upstate but after a talk with my parents and much persuasion from them and from my older brothers, I decided to stay here in NYC where I go to school full time and work whenever I am free with my family. I have already changed my mind a lot of times about what I want to do when I am older. My first thought was a pharmacist, then to get into the finance world, then to work with the family, and now part of me is thinking of being a psychiatrist. Indecisive I know. The biggest difference for me between high school and college is the workload. I believe that myself and my fellow classmates have received more work this past month then I had received in almost 3 months of my Senior year in high school. There is just so much going on, from workshops, to people running around everywhere, needing to buy books, and considering what classes and what majors you want in the near future. It is simply overwhelming to me. However, I believe that just how I adapted to high school after middle school, I can easily adapt to College as I am slowly starting to learn. After all, if the work were impossible it wouldn’t be assigned right? Thats something I like to keep in mind whenever my professors assign a lot of work, along with the thought that thousands of people graduate college each year so why can’t I get through it as well? The answer is, I can do it and so can everyone else. There is a reason why some people make it to college and some don’t. It is because the ones who don’t are the ones who would not be able to get through everything. After college I hope to go on to graduate school and earn my masters degree but that is all in good time. That is also dependent on whether or not I will be working by then with my family or somewhere else. I hope to work with my older brothers and get into their mens clothing line together with them. I hope to get to know all of you better than I already do and I look forward to getting through the semester with you guys and wish you all success!
