Charity Suggestion

Charity is important and everybody should learn to give to the less fortunate and help those who need it. Luke’s Wings is a foundation that generates money to help wounded soldiers reunite with their families. No soldier deserves to feel worthless or unloved once they are sent away to war and this organization strives to stop this from happening. This is a special time of the year, considering that Christmas is near and Luke’s Wings is trying to raise $100,000 by December 25, 2011 so that they can send 31,500 wounded soldiers home for the holiday season. This is a completely realistic target and just to imagine all the joy we can bring to the lives of families that deserve makes it sound even more worth it. Fund raising for a great cause and remembering about our soldiers is important, especially because a lot of us forget about them because we don’t have loved one’s in a different country fighting for our freedom. This is my suggestion for charity and the website below speaks for itself ! Thank you. -TASNIM CHOWDHURY

Emailing the “Master P”

Dear Ms. Neal,

I just woke up and I am feeling extremely sick. I’m still not sure whether or not I’ll make it to class on time. If not, I’ll be sure to bring a doctor’s note. I would really appreciate it if you would let me take the midterm on another day. Thank you.

Even though I’m two days late…

First off, I think it’s pretty evident that I despise doing homework and I’d much rather  be watching a movie on Netflix or something, BUT here goes nothing !

-My name’s Tasnim and i was born a winner. Over the past of couple years, I’ve had a really difficult time trying to figure out who i am and my purpose in life. Every year i learn something different about myself and i am surely not the same person i was two to three years ago. I went from being a nerd who read books all day to a person who can’t even stay awake in class. I’m not saying I’m proud of this change but I’m also not saying i want to change back.

-As of 2011, i discovered my talent in rapping and I realized how important it is to follow your goals, dreams, ambitions no matter what. I learned not to follow everyone else and gain interest in something just because everyone else is doing it. I spent most of the summer getting buff and working out, and playing basketball. All the hard work went down the drain after the month of Ramadan though when i had to  fast (starve myself) for 30 days straight. Im also an older brother and a role model to my younger bro.

 

-My Top 3 Concerns About Baruch:

1. Falling behind in classes.

2. Not being able to make friends.

3. Giving in to peer pressure.

 

– Baruch and high school are two completely different stages of my life. Attending I high school in the Bronx, I quickly learned that this is a “dog eat dog” world and i have to do whatever it takes to survive. I had to protect myself in the halls and defend myself from anybody who wanted to bark up the wrong tree. More-less, high school really toughened me up and helped me become a man. The environment was completely different, the people are much more friendly in Baruch, and the teachers are much more knowledgable.

 

– I believe my first year in Brauch will lead to a complete turn around for me and it will help me get back on track. Sure the transition has been a bit difficult but every things happening for the best. I want to go back to being a nerd and start doing much better in school.  I also think that is a great step forward into the adult world knowing that my future is in my hands and i have to decide whether i would like to be successful or not.
