So far, my time here at Baruch has honestly been dissappointing. I found that college classes are extremely dry and i had no idea that math could get any worse than what it was in high school. I am not discouraged however, at how i’ve performed this semester. I feel that i have grown substantially as a student and as an adult. I’m finally handing in papers on time and I’m getting a feel for maintaining a good study habit.
I would not do anything differently if I had a chance to do things over again. I feel that this was a valuable experience and introduction to College for me and I fully expect things to become more difficult which will be a challenge to me, but I fully accept this. I was frustrated and lost throughout this first semester, but this is a new environment for me so I guess in a sense it brought an obstacle before me.
As a student I’ve learned just how important education really is and how I am the one in charge of my own life. The recent protests here at Baruch have in a way influenced me even though I did not participate in them. I feel that as I grow up I have to deal with the obstacles of life one way or the other. I can only hope I can overcome them.
