Who do I think I am? Well I know for a fact that I am Anthony Giuliano. I was born on October 10th 1992 in Staten Island, New York where I still live today. I graduated from St. Joseph by the Sea High School this past June. I love playing sports just as much as I love watching them. As for who I think I am, I would like to think that I am a hard working, easy going, fun loving kid. I decided to go to Baruch because I’m almost positive I want to have a career in business.
The first of my top three concerns about my freshman year is time management. I don’t know about everyone else but my senior year of high school consisted of little to no studying and home work. The homework I did have to do was usually done in the morning before school or during another class before it was do. I would usually come home from school and go out. In my first two weeks of school I’ve already done more work than I did my whole senior year. Its different to have to come home and have to do homework and study. I have to manage my time better than I’ve done in the past and use my time productively. My second concern is the amount of work that has to be done. Like I said in the last paragraph I’m not used to have to come home and do homework. I’m not used to sitting at my desk for a couple of hours studying and doing work. Its something that I’m not used to at all. My third concern is keeping track of due dates and dead lines. In high school teachers were constantly reminding us of when our assignments were due. In college the teachers don’t really care if you hand things in or not. Its all up to me to make sure that I get everything done and be prepared for class.
My college experience has been different from my high school experience so far by being much more independent. In college I can use my time how I please. I didn’t have two hour breaks in high school. When I was in high school our schedules were assigned to us and we had no say in what classes we had to take. This year I picked the schedule that I wanted and I can choose how I use my free time. I feel much older in college. I have more freedom and more responsibility.
I think that my first year of college will change me for the better. I hope to be more mature, more responsible, more hardworking and I hope to find out more about me. There are so many opportunities at Baruch for every student to do what they want. The decisions we make in college will shape our lives forever. I can only hope that I make the right decisions and look back on my college experience as the time that I became me.
