I’m Tammie Chiu, and I was born and raised in New York all of my life. I live in Queens and love the city. I can’t really bear the thought of leaving this metropolis.
My top three concerns of my freshman year is doing well in my classes to have a good GPA, finding enough friends and classmates throughout my college years, getting a job or an internship to jump start my career, and doing all of this at the same time. These tasks are what I feel a necessary part of life, growth, and development. If I can accomplish these concerns then I know perhaps there will be some success waiting for me.
So far, the college lifestyle feels much more independent than high school. I am expected to do many things for myself and moreover, I will not get as much assistance than I would have in high school. Things are slightly more difficult but nothing astoundingly horrible.
I think my first year at college will be that awkward in between stage from getting adjusted at a new lifestyle to recognizing my potential as an adult within this society. Or maybe not. Who knows what the future holds for me? Hopefully at the end of this year I can be more independent, can multitask successfully, and can put even more effort and work into projects and papers. I also need the ability to read college material faster. I want to develop better networking skills for I abhor the word and also gain an internship or a job as stated before.
