College is a new start of our lives. We get more chances to explore the world. But fit into this new life in the college is not easy.it makes me have several concerns at the beginning of the college. And I realize this new life will also shape my personalities
As I step into the Baruch college, a totally new environment for me. I realize I will have lots of obstacles in front of me, and it makes me concern many things. First I am worried about my grades. I want to get a good GPA. But the class works and the readings are much harder than I thought. The amount of readings for one day can be ten times more than the works in my high school. I am also concerned that I cannot fit into the Baruch society. I did not know anyone here, and get to know the new people and the new professors can be really hard. So I am afraid that I cannot make friends in this new environment. What I concerned most is my writing skills. After I saw the syllabus, I realize there are many writing assignments, and those essays play the most important part for determining your grades. I just came to this country three years ago, so I am not a great English writer, I may have some grammar mistakes. So I am worried that will affect my grades.
The college’s experience can really affect me in many ways. I think I will be more independent after my first year in Baruch. The college is all on you, the professor will not push you to do your homework and readings like the high school teachers did. So it is all our responsibility to do our work and study the class materials by ourselves. I will also learn how to manage my time better after the first year. There are lots of readings and essay assignments. I realize that we cannot wait until last minute. We have to plan ahead. If the paper is due tomorrow, we have to start one week before. So we don’t have to work until 3 o’clock at the midnight. We always have to be well prepared for everything. Last, I think the college experience will make me become a more outgoing person. I see the college experience in Baruch is really fun. There are many clubs and activities. I will try to join them, and participate with them. So I will have opportunity to meet more people, and make more friends.
The life in Baruch is really exciting. It can affect us very much. We may meet many obstacles, and have many concerns. But we should not give up. We all come to Baruch for a future dream, and if we work harder, this dream will come true.
