         This is my freshman year at Baruch College. From the first day I step in, I have lots of expectations. Some is achieved, but some is not. First of all that I don’t expect to achieve in Bruch College is I involve into relationship with many people who are also Bruch students by friendship. It is almost the end of the semester, while I think deeply on what I did and how I went during previous days, I suddenly realized that I have more and more friends around me. They are with me as bee always with honey, no matter when I was confuse, depress, frustrated. They are the most considerate people in my life. On the other hand, the only thing I expected to do well in Bruch College that is to get a good grade. Unfortunately, even though I act as a nerd, but I don’t get the grade that I expected. As a result, my academy is not really good.
           The first semester at Bruch College is really exciting. Everything is so new and so much fun for me. There are so many clubs, activities, parties in the college that I never experienced. They attract me a lot that I cannot deny it, as the result I participate in ballroom dance club. I really enjoy it, but I did not realize my curious get me into trouble. My academy is not on my expectation. My bad academy is not only due to my curious, but also my weak flexibility. As the first semester in college, many things those are so different and strange.
         If there is a second chance that is could do it all again, I would not spend too much time on club. I would use my time to practice on exercises that I really needed. However, second chance is never will be real, but I still could put more efforts on subjects to raise my grade. That is my responsibility and my sense of duty because I come to college to find improvement.
           Finally, I didn’t have many changes since I started at Baruch College. But at least, I am not shy anymore. When I was very young, I was so shy. Then I become more and more outgoing while I grow up. And now, I believe that I can put my “blush” away. In a new environment, you ought to know how to face all kinds of unexpected challenges and then become more confident. If you can’t solve your own problem, face people confidentially, how dare you can think about solve other problems?!

        Hello, everybody, my name is Mindy.I have been here for more than two years. In 2008, we moved to Florida which was our original plan. I went to high school for three months and there were only three Chinese people (of course including me) in the school. It sounds wired but it’s true. Then, my parents decided to move to New York so I come with them.
        In my new high school, I make lots of friends. Friends always make me happy. There once a saying: if you are happy, then share with your friends, the happiness will booms as twice as before; if you are sad, still share with your friends, then your sadness will just left half of it. In this way, I like to help others to solve problems. I feel so powerful because of that. Maybe that is one of the easy ways to make friends. Besides that, as an immigrant, I really know it is so hard to get used into such a new environment with poor English. It is much better if someone give you a hand in time. I still remembered my first school-day in Florida. There was a guy who helped me a lot so that I didn’t feel lonely and upset at that moment. Until now, I feel so happy about helping people. That’s what I learn from my friends and I will continually do it. And now, I’m in college, I surely need somebody’s help.

         One thing I think I am afraid of is blood, I mean great amount of my blood. Every-time I have blood test, I feel dizzy and want to throw out. So I never have a blood drive even though I really want to. One day, I told my friend I wannna donate my blood, and she was liked: oh, no, don’t go! If you donate 200 cc bloods, then they have to give back 600 cc to you.” Although it is a joke, it might be true.

           And i think i am a pretty easy-going and optimistic girl. And this can be reflected from my drawing.I always use the bright color. I think u like drawing. The reason I use” I think” is I never draw in China. However, I draw sometimes. Here is my some works. It is not really good because I have never learned it.

         I think I am special, because I am who I am, I am the only one in the world. However, I’m just a common girl who is easygoing, kind, truthful, enjoying singing, shopping and making friends.

        This is my freshman year at Baruch College. Life is getting excited and nervous. As all students concern about, I put most of my attention to the academic. Because in the first year, I still don’t clearly know about how to learn yet. That means I have to put much more effort on it. Besides wishing a good academic, I also wanna get used into college life. The best way to do it is making new friends which through joining some clubs and be more active. Finally, I want to pick my major as soon as possible. Because people around me already make up their minds for majoring in finance, accounting and so on. I think I’d better talk to the academic advisor for more in -formations.   

         In my opinion, college and high school is not totally different. But the most different part is we have more freedom than before. In high school, teachers will force you to do all the work. However, it is impossible in college. Professors will assign so many reading and homework, but they don’t even care whether you do it or not. As a college student, we have to take our own responsibilities, and that is the only way to success.

          When I was very young, I was so shy. Then I become more and more outgoing while I grow up. And now, I believe that I can put my “blush” away because of the changing I really have to make at that time I start my college life. In a new environment, you ought to know how to face all kinds of unexpected challenges and then become more confident. Remembering the last group presentation which held in the anthropology class. Unfortunately my partner decided to drop the course, and my professors didn’t assign me another partner. So I have to do the whole thing by myself. That was not fare but I still need to do it. From that time on, I realize I have to take that responsibility and try my best to do it with all my confidence. And finally I did it.
