My name is Jian and I am a quiet person. I do not like to talk when group of strangers or people I am not familiar with are present. However, if they are all my friends, it would be a very different case. I like to be with friends and I would not be so quiet at this time. I don’t want to get conflict with other people and I would choose to forget others when they did or said something that hurt me rather than getting angry at them. One of my friends once asked me have I ever being angry. I told him of course I did. Everyone has temper and it is just how well you can control it. In most situations, I think I am able to control it. I think I am just a man in the street. People say everyone is unique in the world, but I think there might be many people in the world who look like me or have similar personality with me. I am not so outstanding and I like to be this way because I don not want others to pay too much attention on me.
My three concerns about my freshman year at Baruch College are making new friends, reading assignments and the music class. All these concerns came from the differences between Baruch College and my high school. In my high school, there were many people who had similar or same background and culture with me. So it is very easy to make friends and get alone with them, but in Baruch, there are people from all over the world and I only know few people. There are also so many very long reading assignments that are very hard to understand. My music class is so boring that I get sleepy as long as I walk into the classroom. Once I determined to listen to the professor carefully, but I failed because of his hypnotic voice and his boring lecture. I am always afraid that I would fail the class. I think my first year in Baruch would make me become more independent.
