Whats up! Stan again.

Baruch has lived up to my expectations. The teachers i have will take time out of there schedule to meet with me. One incident that exceeded my expectation was a meeting i had with my English teacher. I had received a 74 on a paper and i felt it was undeserved. i scheduled a meeting to defend my paper. She was so understanding she told me why she gave me the grade and said that she herself did not believe i deserved that low grade. She gave me 10 additional points , bringing my paper to a 84. I was so surprised !

My 1st semester grade wise is going well. I think i am getting nothing lower then a B in all my classes. Other then my grades, i feel i made so many friends my first semester and that makes feel better about the next 3 and a half year to come.

One thing i wanted to do differently my first semester is to take advantage of extra credit opportunities. As a kid my age , i am inflicted with this sloth diseases i picked up in highschool. It is Procrastination. As you can see. i am wrote both my second and third blog a day before its due. That is already a improvement from my first blog which i did in class. ( don’t tell Natasha 🙂 )

I have not changed much during my first semester but i do want to change in Baruch for the better.

Hi , my name is Shi Yuan Wong, i preferred to be called Stan. I initially choose a typical Americanized name to help me blend in. however after going to the high school i went to, i learned its better to stand out . i hated my high school, but i love the teachers and students. pretty sure other kids who graduated Bronx science feel the same way . ironically, the place i hung out all of high school was not in school. it was across the street , the people across the street rarely changed and you get to know everyone . it was my safe haven. in Baruch, however, the streets are filled with unfamiliar faces. school is going pretty well . classes are straight forward. only thing Baruch doesn’t provide me is my safe haven

Thats my safe haven with my girl Maggie <3 . thats where i hung out all of high school. across the street on the hood of a car.

hi. My name is Shi Yuan but i am more well know as Stan. I am a chinese american and i graduated bronx high school of science.

i had alot of concerns about college but even more relief. bronx science was hell. my biggest concern was balancing school work and studying with a job and job work, i work 4 days a week and go to school 4 days a week . ant\other concern is my  newly gained freedom from college. taking public transportation and not being late is also a concern to me because i used to take a school bus to school.

i love the different type of classes in college. in high school, the short, boring  and dull. the work is also long and tedious. in college , there is less work but you are expect to study and do the work.

i hope baruch college will help me gain business edge i need to further progress the business i currently created with my cousins .
