If you haven’t seen my name via my user name, my name is Mony Gluzman. I am originally from Israel and I moved to Brooklyn seven years ago and have resided here ever since. I attended Edward R. Murrow High School and I have managed to pick up a few friends that mean a lot to me, though sadly we have contacted each other less than we would have like. I enjoy music very much; mostly rock from the 70’s and other forms of rock and heavy metal appeal to me the most. Also, being a fan of music, I enjoy going to live shows, though many of the older bands that I like are either disbanded or most of their members are deceased. I also enjoy playing the guitar very much. Some of my other interests include cooking, eating, traveling and exploring, and sports such as soccer/the real football, basketball, skiing, snowboarding, and running. I guess this is who I am in a nutshell without going into too much detail.
I have a few concerns for my freshman year. Firstly, it would be to maintain my sanity and not get too stressed out while I try to get the best grades possible in every class; that is the foundation for a good GPA. Secondly, although I have been a bit of a loner sometimes, I would like to acquaint myself with some close friends that are true to themselves and fun to get along with. Lastly, balancing my time with school and other responsibilities I have would be difficult but I look forward to succeeding at both.
I think the Baruch experience so far is quite different from high school. In here, everybody comes from different parts of NY, the United States, and the rest of the world. Also, the workload is quite different, especially if my freshman year in high school would be compared to this year. Also, the independence that is given is good, but it will take some time to get used to and adjust to it so that I don’t slack off.
I think this first year in college will mature me. I will hopefully get used to balancing some of my duties with school and I will probably become gradually more responsible and independent. I think this year is important and the college experience is important in that it gives me an appetizer or a small taste of what the real world will eventually be for me.
