a. I think I am very strong and real person. I am very respectful and i always expect the same. I try my best not to judge people. I pride myself in being a woman and being from Dominican Republic. Sometimes I can get caught up in what is going wrong in my life so I have to take time out to appreciate all the good things that i have been blessed with.
b.Three concerns i have about freshman year are: 1. time management. Sometimes im not very good at taking time to sit down and reading a certain book for a class or leaving an assignment for the last minute because im busy doing something else. 2. falling behind in classes. Im worried that the further we get into the year the classes will get harder and i may not be able to do all the assignments or hand them in on time. 3. not enjoying the college experience because im worried about my classes. I really dont want to be one of those girls who leaves school and then goes straight to work and makes no time to appreciate all that this school has to offer me because im worried about getting to my job on time or getting home to study for a quiz the next day.
c.I think that the main thing that will make my experience at Baruch different from experience at high school is the freedom. High school was so restricted and it was the same thing everyday and all the teachers were on top of you for the homework or projects. At Baruch the teachers aren’t really concerned with what you choose to do with your time and if you dont do your homework and what you need to do, its on you. Another thing that i think will make college different from high school is that its everyone seems to be pretty focused on doing their work in this school and doing well in class. In high school there were always so many distractions. There were parties and friends and things you “had” to do because everyone else was. I feel like everyone here is just focused on themselves.
d.I think that my first year in college will change me by making me realize what i have to prioritize. In high school, my priorities werent really in order and i wasnt really focusing on school work when i had to focus on it. I would wait until the last minute to finish things and then be scrambling to hand things in by the deadline. Right now the assignments and homeworks have been fairly easy so iv been managing my time really well and getting things done before i have to hand them in so that i dont have to worry about later on.
