Assignment #1

My name is Rovenna Yakubov, and I’m a musician and a thinker. I also like to think of myself as compassionate, open-minded and light-hearted. My top three concerns for freshman year here at Baruch are making friends, balancing school and my social life, and really gaining insight into the world as well as practical knowledge I could use in the future. Baruch will be different than high school because I will have a lot more freedom and therefore a lot more room to mess up. I also have less guidance from my teachers than I did in high school, which means that for the most part I’m going to have to figure things out on my own. My first year of college is going to be my first taste of the real world. I’m hoping to learn to be more independent and responsible, and how to use my time as efficiently as possible. Academically, I’m just hoping to grow in every possible way. I want to learn what I need to know for my future job, but I also want to learn about things that I am interested in knowing more about. Hopefully, I will come out of my first year at Baruch a more well-rounded and knowledgeable person, with more insight into both myself and the world around me.
