Who am I? I think we all answer this question in different ways depending on the person we perceive ourselves to be. I can answer this question simply by saying my name and where I’m from. However, I don’t feel that fits the bill. The old saying “Everyone is unique in their own way” has always been something I abide by. I feel I’m different from every other person out there. Not that I’m better or worse than anyone else, it’s just I see myself as an individual first, who can mesh and contribute new ideas with others. And to tell you the truth, I’m not really sure who I am, well not yet at least. My name is Seebaschan Hardeen born and raised in Queens, New York. I don’t know what I want to be. I just know I want to make a positive difference and be successful in life.
Coming into Baruch College my main concern was if this was the place I wanted to be. It’s been around 2 weeks of classes so far and I’m starting to learn more and more about what this college is about. I’m not really sure about what I want to be, so if this college can help steer me in the direction of something that I’m interested in then I’m all for it. Another concern was about the campus. I like to play a lot of sports especially baseball and basketball and a city in the campus might not offer a lot of opportunities as maybe a private campus would. I’ve checked out several of the facilities here at Baruch so far and they are definitely towards my liking especially the open basketball courts and gyms. My final concern were about my the students. I’m a person who likes to do activities, study, and just hang out with friends. Many students and professors here are really nice people to talk to and I like that most people here are simple and cool yet very professional.
Baruch College is very different from high school. I noticed right away just the overall professionalism of the people here and the atmosphere of the campus’ are great. Everyone is doing something at all times and this is very different from the laid-back, nonchalant atmosphere of high school. I really like this because it makes me want to learn and work hard just like many of the people here. Baruch feels more like a job and I’m obligated to do my very best. So far this first year of college has been smooth. Definitely a lot more responsibility and things to do, but that’s the beauty of the college in my opinion. It’s helping me to mature as a student and most important a person. I look forward to a lot more success at Baruch in the future.
