To sum it up: I am free but i am not free, considered an adult but still at home with mommy. Growing up, my parents always spoke highly of college. Since they both gradutated from universities, they expected nothing less from their children. They constantly voiced their opinions with college, including one I would never forget: my mother saying even if she had all the money in the world, she would not pay for my college education. She expected me to take care of my responsiblities on my own. Therefore, I knew college would be a necessity in my life and the reason why I am in Baruch.
Looking back, I miss high school. Compared to the courses here, it was a relatively easy experience. Classes were shorter, more uniformed, and time flew by quickly. I had no worries and would run around, pull pranks and just have fun. Baruch is an entirely different experience. No person can sit for three hours attentively in a single class. I wonder who was the genius that thought of making students sit for such a long time. I also prefer the option in choosing my classes. Although it will be given soon enough, a choice can make all the difference in the world.
Despite the change, I look forward to four years at Baruch. I knew coming into here that it would be a new obstacle to overcome. I personally challenge Baruch College to try stopping me from achieving my dream. I came here to be a businessman, and a businessman I shall be.
