“Who Do You Think You Are?”
a) I am introvert. I don’t like to associate with people. I barely make phone calls to my friends and never chat online. Usually I would refuse to go to party where there are a lot of strangers. I am more mature than people in my age. It’s easier for me to make friends with people who are older than I am. I am very independent and impatient. I like to do thing by my own so I don’t have to about other’s opinion. I love to find short cut so I can get thing done quickly.
b) The top concern about my freshman year at Baruch College is grade. I am aiming for a 3.2 for the first semester. But I have no cue if I can make it because college grading policy is different from high school grading policy. In high school even you are not a great test taker but you can still earn a high grade by participant in class and do homework, in college most percentage of your grade is based on your test grades.
The second concern is time management. I am not a very organize person. So sometimes I would leave things out. I have to learn to be more cautious to keep track of the time.
The third concern is making friends. I hope to find a lifelong best friend during my college years. I want to share everything with her.
c) I think College experience is different from my high school experience. College is about you doing the right thing and making the right decision for there’s no one to push you and spoon-feed you.
d) The first year of college will make me feel more comfortable and open to share my ideas to people from different culture. Part of the reason I chose Baruch rather than Queens College (which is 5 minutes away from my house) is I want to experience life in the Manhattan and interact with a more diverse group.
