I’ll start by introducing myself. hi my name is Ezra Avidan and i’m 19 years old born and raised in Brooklyn New York. I am first generation american. my mom is from Lebanon and my dad is from Israel. All my life i attended private school in brooklyn called Magen David Yeshivah. Who am i really? I never really thought of that question. I guess i can say i’m a very trust worthy guy and outgoing. With in my group of friends i was usually known to be the mutual friend never fighting or arguing just having fun. 3 of my friend actually attend Baruch now and they helped me get around the campus. At first i was a little scared to come in too college from what i heard of it. A couple of concerns i was think of being a freshman here is that i wouldn’t fit in and would be up date on the work because i’m not such a bright student. Midterms and finals kills me because i’m a person that crams for the exams and its hard for me to study because i don’t know how to focus and i’m a big fan of procrastinating.

The difference between high school and college ranges from every aspect. the test’s from high school are much easier and shorter and easier to study for. In college test’s are much bigger and more complicated and they make you think more. When i was in high school i would ditch class so much and nothing would happen at the same time i would be an A student in it, but in college if i would ditch no one would care you have to be responsible. If you miss the work you miss the that how its done here. I feel more independent. When i went to school in Brooklyn the commute was really short of about 10 min bus ride. Going to college is a whole new world of commuting with taking the subway which makes me feel more independent.

I think my first year so far in college has already changed me in many ways. One way it made me open my mind up to new things from new ideas to new people. I made lots of friends in my class and made a connection with them. Feeling more independent now as if i’m on my own and have big responsibilities. So i hope i stay up to date with my work and so far Baruch college has been great and i hope to enjoy more for whats coming in the next semesters.
