Monologue

My name is Alyssa December and I’m 18 years old. I’m a freshman here at Baruch College. I know exactly what I want to accomplish in my life and I hope that Baruch can give me the tools I need to succeed. At first, I may come off as abrasive but I just take things too seriously sometimes. Never judge a book by its cover. I am extremely careful to whom I open up to and trust.  I have had alot of unfortunate things that have happened to me in my life and I live by the motto “What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger” and whenever I feel like I cannot get through an obstacle in my life I always repeat “This too shall pass.”  I consider myself very hardworking; I have been working ever since I was 14 years old.  I also don’t like alot things  but one thing that I simply detest is racism.  There is absolutely no excuse for anyone to be prejudice against anyone else, especially in this day and age.  As I continue along in life here at Baruch, I hope I will meet meaningful people and learn and experience life changing things as well.
