When I began my first semester at Barch I expected it to be very stressful and I thought I would be strugling in some classes. But it turned out to be the opposite. I’m doing well in all of my classes and I’m, starting to become more ivolved by joining clubs and making friends. If I could do it over again I would try to spend more time in the library studying for my Public Administration class. I think I have become more indepedent since I started Baruch College and more aware of what I have to do to become more invovled on campus and get better grades.

I like how I don’t care how small I am

I dislike how shy and quiet I can be

I play the role of a mentor, role model, and the future of my family

Jackie Robinson taught showed me theres different ways to be a leader

Rockin’ Jordans and Aero Tee’s make me extremely happy

I’m afraid of losing my memories

I felt really ashamed in my first boing match,

I gave up and threw in the towel,

It was then that I vowed to never give up on something I believe  in.

I Think I am a coqui. A coqui is a national animal of Puerto Rico. Its a small frog that can only be found in Puerto Rico. The reason I think I’m a coqui is because Puerto Rican culture is a big part of who I am.  The music I listen to, the sports I watch, the food I eat and the way I speak my spanish. I am all about Boxing and baseball; I am all about rice and beans; I am all about slasa and bachata. I was born and raised in the South Bronx but as a kid I would go to Puerto Rico every summer to be with my family. I am Boricua to the bone.

As I came into Baruch three of my top concerns were writing essays, making friends, and keeping up with all the work. Since Baruch is a commuter its harder to make friends that a college with a campus and dorms. And as far as my wrting goes, I had challenges with high school writing so I know I’m going to struggle in College. But So far my experience at Baruch has been great. It has been different from high school because I pend more time studying outside of class than I do inside of class. I think after my first year in college will change me for the better.  I’m going to be more independent and have better writing skills and study habits.
