Like everyone else, the most important thing to me is my family. They help me out with all the problems that I have. Otherwise, my friends are the next important to me. Without them I would not be what I am today. I’m afraid of a lot of thing and one of them is the common bugs. Those that fly scares my most. Another thing that I’m afraid are apples, which i find to be unique since no one else is apple-phobic. I hate the sound that apples make when we cut or eat them.

I’m especially happy when I find the time to sleep, which i don’t have much of for the past years. I feel empowered when I am around my friends. They have a positive force that make be brave enough to overcome my fears.

So far in college, I am doing fairly well. My schedule is very flexible and a challenge that i need to resolve during my time is college would be my time management. My previous years prove that I’m not good at time management. Otherwise I like college a lot because of my classes and my friends.

Hi, I’m Byron Li. People always ask me if my parents named me after the famous Lord Byron. Well, I hope not because I hate poetry. I am a graduate from Brooklyn Technical High School. Moving into Baruch, I’m concern about if it can provide me with the skills and education that I need. To be honest, Baruch is not one of the top choices I set my eyes on during the college process. Another concern is communication, something that I am very weak on. So far our block do not have a strong unity despite having most classes together. I see that Baruch have more to offer and promises opportunities than other colleges. Let’s just hope Baruch lives up to its words. In terms of experience, everything change except the commute. The one hour trip to Baruch and back is the same as the last four years. Besides that, the learning is more independent. Time is in our hands and it is flexible with the breaks it gives us. Most importantly, Baruch doesn’t feel like it have as many students in the halls as in Tech. I don’t feel like I’m rushing through the busy streets in Broadway every time I go to class. Overall, I think Baruch is good, very good. I hope everyone will have fun. Cheers to DMC!
