The first logo I chose was the ovation logo. This is because ever since I first started playing guitar when I was 8 I’ve had ovations and almost only ovations. I love the feel of the guitar, the look of it, and most importantly, the sound of it. The acoustics are just phenomenal. I feel like this logo fits me because I’ve dedicated so much of my life to music in general, and I’m completely in love with guitar. I don’t think there’s anything that parallels the feeling of of picking up my guitar and playing to escape from the hectic world I’m forced to live in.

The next logo I chose was the apple logo. Seriously, I’m a die-hard apple fanatic! Each member of my family has their own Macbook Pro or iMac– and we’re not ashamed of it. The computer is super gorgeous, boots up fast and NEVER gets viruses. The one PC I owned years ago was a complete disaster because it kept spazzing out and overheating and all this other annoying stuff no one wants to deal with. I’m a girl, I don’t know how to fix things, so having a computer I don’t have to worry about fixing is wonderful. But my love for apple extends beyond just computers– I’ve had four different ipods over the course of my life (currently have an iPod touch– it’s awesome) and I pray for the day my mom switches over to at&t so I can get an iphone. I am in love with this company and therefore I think this logo is a good representation of a great portion of my life.

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.
