Dear Professor Bin Laden,

On Thursday, November 3rd I was hit by a MTA Bus while on my way to the train station to reach school. I was immediately transported to the near by hospital of Coney Island and could not make it to class. I apologize for my absence and hope I can make up the exam. I really had no way of coming to school since I fell into a coma.

Sincerely,

Aleksandr Yeranosyan

I am me

I like the pump

I like perfection

I like it when everything is neat

I dislike feelings

I dislike time

I dislike when I hit my foot against the bed at night

I am Armenian

I am Russian

I am tall, dark and my mom says I’m handsome

I play the maker

I play the player

I play as the sole creator of my life

My mind is important

My family is important

My decision making process is the most important

I am afraid of nothing

I am afraid of death

I am not afraid of death because death is a part of life

My life makes me happy

My music makes me happy

My everyday routine, created by me, for me, makes me happy

Ashamed of wrong decision

Ashamed of choice

Ashamed of doing what you told yourself not to

Empowered by authority

Empowered by situation

Empowered when I was named boss

Get jacked, squat rack

Just lift, do your shet, till your muscles real ripped

Misc life

Everything is going well

Everything is going smooth

Everything is going according to plan

Challenge of homework

Challenge of material

Challenge of paying attention in class

Enjoy all

I think I am me. I’m Aleks. I’m an 18 year old guy attending Bernard Baruch College in NYC. I am tall and dark. I’m the guy who doesn’t know what to really write when asked who I think I am because there is so much to write to describe myself. In fact, there is an infinite amount of details that I can give to describe who I think I am. Even then, who I think am and who I actually am could be two different persons. No matter who I think I am I do have concerns about my freshman year at Baruch College. The first and foremost would be how my grades will differ from High School; not only in the actual grade received but how it is earned and how to maintain it. It is difficult to take a class seriously when you only have it twice a week. My second concern is will I continue enjoying the NYC scene that Baruch College is surrounded by throughout my four year stay at the college. If I don’t, what will I do to fix that? If I don’t enjoy going to school, I most certainly won’t be enjoying class or anything related to it. My last concern is my ability create lasting friendships in school. It’s difficult to make friends because people are so different. At first sight they may seem to have similar interests to you, but you later realize that they do not. Having different interests shouldn’t mean that a friendship can not exist, but how do you maintain a friendship when you do not have similar interests or ideas?  Hopefully, creating lasting friendships is what makes my college experiences different from my high school experience. In high school, I had many acquaintances, but not too many friends. I am hoping that this will not be the case in college.

Nothing can change me.
