I have been in New York for more than two years. I was scared when I first time went to high school here. I guess I was not used to the new environment. But now, I am very comfortable to live and study in New York City. I think I am a lively and optimistic person.
I like to make friends. So one of my concerns is making new friends in Baruch as a freshman. In my block, all people are nice and funny. We almost have same classes every day, and we start to know each other by the time we calling each others’ name correctly. We are friends already. I believe I will have more friends in Baruch.The main concern about my freshman year at Baruch College is to improve my English. In these two years, my English is better and better. But it is not good enough. I still have problems when I talk and write in English. Fortunately, I have friends who can help me with my English. I hope I can speak fluent English just like the way I speak my mother language. Another concern about my freshman year would be my academic grades. I guess this will be everyone’s concern, because students are happy when they have good grades. I want to be happy, so I will work hard to make good grades.
I found out that college is so different from high school. No one will be chasing you for homework, there is no make-up test and you are on your own. Your grades depend on your efforts. You do not have to be super intelligent, but you have to be super diligent.
I have a speech communication class. I represented last week. I was so nervous that I made many errors. However there was no one laugh at me, they listened to me patiently and commented friendly on what I said in the end. I am cheerful because I have this class which can make me more confident when I stand in front of people, also it can improve my English.
I will be changed a lot, because the college life will be not easy to deal with. I will be more stronger, more confident and more educated.
