Who Do You Think You Are?

Let’s see, who is Janessa Hernandez? I think I am a really cool, down to earth person. I am not going to lie, I am shy at first but once I get the feel of the kind of person you are, then i’ll show you the person I am and I won’t be shy anymore. I think I’m a good listener and willing to give a helping hand. Some of my concerns about my freshman year at Baruch would be if I can handle the workload, if I’m going to like the school, and if the transition from high school to college going to be an easy one. Handling the workload is a concern because it is completely different from what I am used to. The courses I take are more challenging and I’m not used to getting as much work. I wonder if the methods i used in high school are going to work now. I know one that won’t, procrastination. I am also concerned if I’m going to like Baruch College because I had the mindset all throughout high school that I was going to dorm. Going to a commuter school has dampened my outlook on my freshman year in college but I’m trying to get the most out of it. Im worried that if I don’t like the school, its going to effect my grades. But once I get passed the non-dorming concept, I will like the school a lot more. My last concern would be if the transition from high school to college is going to be an easy one. Im a person that stresses a lot over situations so if it is a rough transition for me, my reaction will definitely show. I hope it will be an easy transition that way my freshman year won’t be as hard. My Baruch College experience will be different from my high school experience in that I am going to have less time for myself. I was able to cruise through high school by getting a lot of work I didn’t have to spend so much time on. But now, the homework that I get require a lot of time and effort to be put into; if not, I will get a poor grade. That being said, I won’t have as much leisure time as a I did in high school. I think my first year at college will change me because I will be a lot more independent. High school students are very sheltered compared to college students that have to get stuff done on their own. With this new form of independence, I will easily transform into the adult that I will soon become.
