Hello all,
My name is Josh Namdar. This is my first year in college. I look forward to my remaining years in Baruch College. I think Baruch is the best place for me to grow as an individual and to learn to my best ability. Let me share with you a few concerns of my freshman year here at Baruch College. One of my concerns would be my ability to make my transition from High School to College soothly. Going to college after 4 years of high school is a big step and it has always been something I thought would be hard to deal with since there is a big difference in the amount of workload and time you receive in high school. A second concern I have is maintaining a good enough GPA to make it into the Zicklin School of Business. The business school here at Baruch is one of the major reasons I chose this school and a deep concern is being able to make it into Zicklin. My third concern is whether or not i’ll be able to handle the workload throughout my 4 years here. It is important for me to learn how to manage my time and complete all my work on time. If I can master that, it would make my time here at Baruch much easier. So far, one thing that makes my college experience different from my high school experience is the diverse culture in my surroundings. Being in a multi-cultural student body is a big advantage to have as a student. Becoming friends with differently culture people teaches you a lot about the world we live in and will always be good for you in the future. I think my first at college will change me in the sense that I will learn to be more responsible as a person and I will learn how to manage my time and work. It will allow me to get a better idea of how to balance personal life issues and school issues.
