Hey guys! I’m Andrew and I’m 18 years old. I’m full Chinese but my Mandarin has gotten worse over time. My parents are both from China and came to America to raise me. I grew up in Queens my whole life and attended a Catholic school up until high school. I attended The Bronx Hs of Science for my four years of high school. While it wasn’t the best school in my opinion, it did have its upsides. I made friends that no matter how long we don’t talk, we will never become strangers and I’m glad of that.
My top three concerns about my freshman year at Baruch has to be getting good grades in all my classes, making new friends, and staying out of trouble. While my grades aren’t as great as I would like them to be, they’re a lot better than my grades in high school. I’ve also made a lot more friends than I had expected and they’ve always been there when I needed them. For now, I haven’t really gotten into any major trouble so I think it’s going pretty well.
To an extent, Baruch still feels like high school because there really isn’t a real campus but I do like how you can go to the bathroom any time you like without having to ask the professor. Another thing I really like is going to school only when you have classes and don’t have to stay for 6 hours everyday.
College has taught me to be more mature because we have to do everything ourselves without having someone tell us how and when to do it. Let’s just take life one step at a time.
