Two logos that highly influence my life are the New York Knicks and Ford. These two logos are my favorite sports team and the brand of the car I drive. They mean a lot to me.

The New York Knicks have been my favorite team since I can ever remember. My father got me into watching the Knicks since around 1999 and I have been a die hard fan ever since. There have been a lot of up and downs, mostly down, but I will stick with them until I die. My favorite player in Knicks history is Allan Houston. The biggest waste of money ever spent was on Eddy Curry. My most memorable moment was Larry Johnson’s 4 point play in the 1999 Eastern Conference Finals as the 8th seed.

The Ford logo is very important to me also. I drive a 2000 Ford Mustang GT in silver. Cars have always been important to me since I was a little. I always am finding ways to make my car look better. Currently these are the differences I made : new grill top and bottom, HID kit for both fogs and headlights, LED kit on the bottom of the car and under the dashboard, 20% tinted windows all around, blacked out headlights, painted the roof black, new 3rd brake light, LED lights for liscense plate, and V8 logos all over. Its currently sitting on 306 HP 4.6L. I love speed so I think this is a perfect match!

One thing that I think that is very important is to know who you are. You can describe yourself in many ways such as nationality, race, gender, or maybe even what type of music you listen to. If you asked me to explain who I am, I would tell you I am an American male student, an older brother, a basketball player, and a very caring person. Im part Irish, part German, and part Italian.

This year im starting out as a Freshman at Baruch College. I am beyond excited to be here and espicially to be in the greatest city in the world. College so far has been really good and I enjoy coming here everyday. If i had to pick three concerns about my freshman year here at Baruch it would probally be time management, homework, and getting good grades. I think time management will be the toughest, for me at least with Basketball season coming up. Theres not going to be too much time to relax and hang out with my friends, its strictly business. I am ready for that challange and I believe everything will be fine. The homework so far hasn’t been bad at all, and I hope it stays that way for a while at least ! Getting good grades and studying for tests are really important to me. I want to succeed in life so I must put in the time to get that A.

My Baruch College experience will be much different from my high school experience for many reasons. Its a much bigger school, alot of more people, alot of more freedom, the teachers do not care if your there or not, and I will need to have great time managment like I said before. Im really excited for all the challanges in head of me and im looking to conquer each and every one. I will be making alot of more friends then I did in high school because college is such a bigger environment.

My first year at Baruch will without a doubt make me a better and more mature young man. My growth after the first year of college will definitely show to myself, my parents, and my professors. I will be a more knowledgeable student with all of the different courses throughout the first year. Overall, im just really excited to see what is in front of me and to see what the future holds.
