Hello, my name is Anton Maslov. To all of you I’m just a fellow Baruch student, but to myself I’m an athlete. I’m a very competitive person in everything I do, especially sports. I like to play most sports. Soccer and volleyball are my favorite. I played both in my high school and in outdoor league. Now that at Baruch, I play soccer during my club hours and plan to try-out for the volleyball team in November. I also play volleyball outside of school two times a week.
I like to play sports with people who are better than me, because I would rather blame myself if my team loses, than blame my team mates. I don’t like to play with people who are worse than me because I tend to get angry and boss them around.
I guess my main concern right now is my education. I want to make sure I stay on track with my studies. I don’t want my work and sport to jeopardize my education.
My second concern is whether I want to transfer next year. I’m planning to, but I don’t know whether I’ll be able to get the right grades for a very good school. I’m looking forward to the opportunities it can provide me.
So far my college experience has been very different form my high school experience. I was getting much more work in high school, but in college I have a lot of free time so I can go to work and play sports. there is much less homework and most of it is reading.
I think my first year will make me more independent. I have work and school now, and many more responsibilities. I’m becoming an adult.
