Mandatory Post 3

My first semester here at Baruch definitely had its surprises. For one, I wasn’t sure what to expect at all. As it comes to an end though, I think I’m beginning to understand what’s expected of us: Baruch is not the same as high school, in the respect that, if you don’t work, you won’t succeed. I did more homework in the first week of college than in all of senior year, and that’s because I truly want to succeed here. I plan on getting to the top, looking down from the windows of my office towards the Wall Street protesters and wonder, how did I get here? Whether I make it there or not is dependent on the work I put in here at Baruch. Baruch is home to various cultures, religions and nationalities, which is very different from the private Jewish school I’d been in. I think I’ll be able to learn a lot from the different people, and take all this experience of cultures wherever I go. Next term I hope to limit my idle time by contracting my schedule better so I can use up the rest of my time productively.
