My mind sparks when someone asks me, “Who are you?” The conjuring image of myself pops up in my head. I am Kevin. Some people refer me as “Kevin Lee xD”. Yes, you heard right. How did I get that “xD”? It is a long story that takes place back at my second year in high school, Benjamin N. Cardozo High School, which is located in Bayside. I am currently a freshman in Bernard Baruch College. Aside from education history, I am a 6’0 Asian who enjoys many aspect of life. I like eating and I wont lie about it. I love hanging out with my friends. In general, I cannot judge my own character, it has to be the audience and how they characterize me by their point of view.
My top three concerns as a freshman are: time management, test preparations, and complex reading comprehension. First of all, time management is important because I am new to college and I want to end my first semester on a good note. I want to see how much time I will have before I make necessary adjustments. Secondly, I have not taken any tests yet and do not know what they will be like. Lastly, reading comprehension may sound silly, but I mean it as in philosophy. The books that I have to read is very complex and formatted in a way where it is hard to remember what I read, thus I forget. These are my concerns for my freshman year.
Baruch College is different in a way compared to high schools, therefore, it will be hard to compare these two. College is a place where it is the students who are in control of their classes, who they meet and what they do. It is not like high school, where it is mandatory and more structured. For example, you can decide if you want to add in breaks for college; while in high school, you have to attend all of your classes right after they finish. There is not much difference in my opinion, but you would feel more “freedom” in college.
The first year in college will not change me. There is not much things to say about this because I cannot be certain to what might change me.
