First off, I think it’s pretty evident that I despise doing homework and I’d much rather be watching a movie on Netflix or something, BUT here goes nothing !
-My name’s Tasnim and i was born a winner. Over the past of couple years, I’ve had a really difficult time trying to figure out who i am and my purpose in life. Every year i learn something different about myself and i am surely not the same person i was two to three years ago. I went from being a nerd who read books all day to a person who can’t even stay awake in class. I’m not saying I’m proud of this change but I’m also not saying i want to change back.
-As of 2011, i discovered my talent in rapping and I realized how important it is to follow your goals, dreams, ambitions no matter what. I learned not to follow everyone else and gain interest in something just because everyone else is doing it. I spent most of the summer getting buff and working out, and playing basketball. All the hard work went down the drain after the month of Ramadan though when i had to fast (starve myself) for 30 days straight. Im also an older brother and a role model to my younger bro.
-My Top 3 Concerns About Baruch:
1. Falling behind in classes.
2. Not being able to make friends.
3. Giving in to peer pressure.
– Baruch and high school are two completely different stages of my life. Attending I high school in the Bronx, I quickly learned that this is a “dog eat dog” world and i have to do whatever it takes to survive. I had to protect myself in the halls and defend myself from anybody who wanted to bark up the wrong tree. More-less, high school really toughened me up and helped me become a man. The environment was completely different, the people are much more friendly in Baruch, and the teachers are much more knowledgable.
– I believe my first year in Brauch will lead to a complete turn around for me and it will help me get back on track. Sure the transition has been a bit difficult but every things happening for the best. I want to go back to being a nerd and start doing much better in school. I also think that is a great step forward into the adult world knowing that my future is in my hands and i have to decide whether i would like to be successful or not.
