My name is Danny Shin. I come from a small town called North Woodmere out in long island. I like to play sports, hangout and party. In high school, I played baseball, bowling, and volleyball.
My three concerns transitioning from high school to college at Baruch would be managing my time, getting distracted with social events, and getting use to larger classes. I have to manage my own time well because teachers aren’t going to baby you anymore and so its my responsibility to get work in on time. Also since my closest friends go to school at NYU and Pace, we will hang out a lot and so I might make a wrong choice and hang out when i need to study for a test. Lastly, since I was always in smaller classes, I feel a little left out in the larger classes.
Here at Baruch College, everything is more self motivated. Like I stated before, no teacher is going to baby you and to me, is the biggest difference between college and high school.
I think the first year of college will change me to be a more organized and independent.
