“Who do i think i am?” I came from China with my family 7 years ago. Right when i came here, i knew little to no english at all. I went to Manhattan Center for Science& Mathematics for high school, which is located in upper east side. I had always complained about that school name, it’s deceiving because it’s nowhere near the center of manhattan. I would say most of my friends think im shy, but there is the boldness inside me. It’s hard for me to get a conversation going when i meet somebody for the first time. It’s rather hard for me to make new friends. I think the problem is that people think i am unapproachable, and i dont take the initiation.
Problems that concerned me is the workload. Papers that are 4 or 5 pages long that are due at the end of each month always get me worried. I am bad at writing, if this blog takes me 30min to finish then how long is the paper gonna take? I also dont like to read, which does jeopardize my performance in school. Im also trying to get rid of my shy and passive me. Even though baruch is a commute school, coming to school for jus classes is just gonna make the 4 years long and dull. I want to enjoy my stay in baruch and make the most out of it.
