In the process of writing my monologue I started trying to analyze myself a bit more. I realized that im not completly sure of who I am yet, im still in the process of figuring myself out. Im optimistic that my college experience will help me do that. In my monologue I didnt talk about very personal details, I kept it very inpersonal unfortunetly. I thought the monologues were a great way to get to know each other better and it was a way for LC09 to further bond. Freshman seminar has been extremly helpful to smoothly get use to college. We can all collectively keep each other on track and find support from one another. We all have the same classes and have made close friendships within freshman seminar, which is very conveniant and beneficial.  i have developed in freshman seminar by becoming more aware of my requirements as a freshman and I am slowly get accustomed to the process I need to undergo to be successful at Baruch.

They say that when you want something done, you must do it yourself. “Be the change that you wish to see in the world”. You should be responsible for taking the first step and allowing people to follow your exemplary actions. It’s contagious to do the right thing. Every morning when I take the train I hear the automated voice say “courtesy is contagious, it starts with you”, which promotes the courtesy to give your seat to an elderly or a pregnant woman nearby. Well speaking about the train, on my way to school yesterday morning, some loser decided that it would be funny to apply Vaseline on all the handrails and windows on the train. At first I was annoyed because I couldn’t really hold on, but then I realized how funny it is to see a load of people rush on the train and touch the disgusting rails and make the most baffled of faces. Their reaction made my day. No matter how strange things get, I will continue to have a positive attitude. There isn’t much that can bring me down; life is short and there is no reason to frown during it.
