who am i

A. Who do you think you are?
I am student athlete aspiring to do the best that I can all four years of my college career. I am ambitious, determined, and motivated so with these qualities I know I will be able to complete my aspirations. I am family oriented. I’d do anything for my family and making them see the good in me is what pushes me. I am role model to my younger siblings and cousins. I try my best to set the greatest example. I’m humorous and creative, give me a small topic and I’ll expand it within minutes. I’m a caring person with a big heart, hate to see anyone hurt or upset. I’m outgoing, love to have a good time, and personable which makes me easy to get along with. You only live once, so I’m just a person trying to make the best of it while I can.
B. Share three concerns about freshman year and why
One concern is not being able to adjust to the transition from high school to college and not knowing what classes to choose. In my high school everything was handed to us. The teachers had notes prepared just for us to copy, reviews were given right before tests and everything was covered, and the schedules were already made for us. A second concern is getting used to being part of a new basketball team. After being part of a team for three years, you begin to see them as a second family. A third concern is getting the professors to know me in the case that I may need them for help or a reference. They have so many students so getting all my professors to become familiar with me might be a challenge because they have other students to attend to.
C. How is college different from high school?
In college, just studying a textbook won’t get you to pass a test. In college, you don’t know everyone in the halls. In college, you don’t share a strong bond with certain teachers because chances are, you won’t see them again, but in high school you’ll still see them around until you graduate and they know you on a name basis. There are also more papers in college. I also have the opportunity to select my own classes, in high school they were automatically selected based on my grade level.
D. How will college change you?
College is going to mold me and help me to acquire all the qualifications I need in order to take the next step in my life. It will prepare me for a better future. It will throw challenges that I will learn to overcome and will benefit me in the long run. College is going to show me a new meaning of being a student athlete.
