Although I intended to attend an outer state university, I ended up enjoying my first 2 months of college in Baruch. I had thought about transferring out of Baruch after my first semester before I even stepped into my very first class, thinking I was going to hate it here. However I soon adapted to love Baruch, the people here, and the malfunctioning escalators. I always had the assumption that because I was in a CUNY, my opportunities would be limited. But I realized that it isn’t the college that determines my future, but it is myself and my actions that will pave my way.
My expectation for this college experience is to place myself beyond my limitations. I may not end up as the Valedictorian but as long as I know that I’ve gone above and beyond, I could have whatever I’m willing to struggle for.
