1. Tell us who you think YOU are!

I’m just someone trying to achieve my goals and live my life the way that I want to live it. Everyone tries to define life for you and tell you what you should or shouldn’t do. I’m just the kind of person who’ll define life by my terms and hopefully get to where I want to go.

2. Share your top 3 concerns about your freshman year at Baruch College and explain why.

First off, I’m hoping to pass my classes and keep an admirable GPA. Secondly, I’m thinking about next semester and how I’m going to have to pick all my classes on my own. Hopefully everything works out there and I can follow the appropriate schedule to make sure I have the right amount of credits. Lastly, getting involved in school is also important.

3. So far, what do you think will make your Baruch College experience different from your high school experience?

It’s a lot different from high school already. Longer hours, more work, and a larger push to get involved. I don’t mind any of the above due to the fact that it all comes with a lot more freedom and a lot more options. I switched around high schools in different states, so it was mainly a “get in, get out” kind of deal. College actually requires my attention, it was my choice to go here. Unlike in high school.

4. How do you think your first year at College will change you?

I can’t foresee the future, but I definitely know it’ll be a positive change. If anything, I hope to be more confident and more free by the end of my first year.  However, it’s not only college that can affect me by the end of this year. I have a personal life and a home-life that will try to change me just as much as college. As long as I’m getting more independent and doing things to benefit my life, college will be great. Honestly, I’ve had a bunch of personal goals before I even stepped through the doors of Baruch. So, college is just a stepping stone for growth and is only going to continue pushing me to where I want to go. I’m looking forward to whatever’s in store.
