A)    Tell us who you think YOU are?

–       The best word that describes who I am is adventurous. I’m the one who is rarely at home, but always out and about walking around till my legs give up on me. There is nothing that brings more joy than exploring unknown places. I like going to these unknown explore and discover the best spots to eat, visit the tourist hotspots, and meet new people along the way. Over the years, I’ve been from the hot sunny beaches of Key West, Florida to the frozen tundra of Anchorage, Alaska. Visiting these places gives me a whole new appreciation and created a different perspective for different cultures and lifestyles from my own. Before I grow old and gray, my personal goal is to pass through all the states across the nation.

B)    Share your top 3 concerns about your freshmen year at Baruch College and explain why.

1) Time management- With all this freedom, am I going to use it in the wrong way? Now that I’m in college I need to become more organize. I need to make time for studying, sleeping, and hanging out with my friends. The key to a successful college experience is to be a master in time management.

2) Making Friends – Making new friends is always the hardest thing to do, especially going to a new      school where you really don’t know anyone.  At the same time it can be someone’s advantage. You are given a clean slate, where you can shape the next four years however you like it. With this clean slate, I want to break my usual timid behavior and become more social. Luckily, I’m part of Learning Community which it purposes is to help solve my current concern. Hopefully everything turns out well.

3) Major- Is accounting what I was born to do? All my life up till this point, my dream job has always to become an accountant.  Now that I’m in college, I’m becoming more aware of the different kinds of jobs there are. Do I want to still pursue my major or would I change it? Only time would tell.

C)    So far, what do you think will make your Baruch College Experience different from your high school experience?

–       With my second time to start all over, I want to make the effort and become more involved in Baruch. As I made up my way through the surprisingly working escalator, and through all the kids offering different club fliers during club hours. I was amazed with superfluous amounts of clubs there were (USG, Frats, Teams). For my best interest, I would join a couple of these clubs because it’s a great opportunity to do something I like with others who share the same the same interest.

D)     How do you think your first year of college will change you?

–       My first year of college will change me by making me more mature.  Going through a college is a personal transformation in becoming more like an adult. It’s not like high school where I had my parents, teachers, and guidance consular on my back pushing me to do this or that. Now, I’m on the big leagues where I cannot expect other people to watching out for me, I got to take it upon myself to do things on my own. This is one of the qualities of being an adult.
