Five years ago, I had never thought about that I would migrant to another country and have a new life which is totally different from what I had before. Same as most immigrant kids I was struggling with the new language which it is most difficult problem I had faced. Before, I used to be a quiet person in the school who did not like to be involves to the group. However, when I came to the U.S, things changed a lot. The high school teachers more encourage student to participate rather than the exam grades. It is very different from the education system in china. I am just a normal teenager which no much different from the other people around my age. I would do the same things that teenagers will like to do such as computer and basketball. Nothing thing special about me, if I must to tell at least one thing that represent myself, I will say l like to laugh. It makes feel better and brings you an optimistic view to this world.
Time fleet, I realized that I am not a high school student anymore. To me, the college life should be more interest and exciting. Not like high school which teachers always force you to study. As the college student we should be more independent and learn to be responsible. It is the process that we grow up as an adult and not act like a kid anymore. For me, I do have some worries about my freshman year at Baruch. The first one is the grade. It is most important stuff which I want to keep my GPA high. I think every freshman will have same concern as me. The lower GPA in this year will affect all four years grade, so I need to try my best to solve this problem. The second one is the social network. Because of Baruch is a cuny college which is more convenience, but without the campus life the chance of making new friends will be low. People are rushing to go home or work that is why hard to make a really friend. The last one is the major, which I haven’t decided it yet, but I think I will find it out later in this year.
I think the first year of college will bring me a different experience compare as before. I think I will more dutiful and independent because I am the only one can help myself or push myself. However, it is a great chance to meet different kind of people from different place of the world. I think I will learn a lot from this year.
