Who do you think you are?
I am a quite kid from the Bronx,NY who likes to have fun with my friends. I think my brother plays a big part in who I am since my mom and my dad were not together while I was growing up and I only really saw my dad on the weekends I would look up to my brother. I hate to be told that I can’t do something and I cant stand to quite something that is tough unless I have exhausted every option to succeed. It usually takes me awhile to open up to new people and be more outgoing and comfortable around them.
One of my biggest concerns about college was the work load because senior year in high school I really didn’t do anything during my classes. I feel that it will would have been hard for me to regain my work ethic again. Another concern is math since I took pre-calc in high school I felt as if I would not have a hard time in class. But since my teacher is not a good one it is pushing me to study more than I ever had to for math because it has always come so easy for me.My last concern was to choosing a major because I am not sure what I would like to do yet. I was thinking about something dealing with sports and some of my other hobbies.
Having to go to school in the city is different because I went to high school in the suburbs. I think it is going to be hard to want to go back in to school after my long breaks on Tuesday and Thursday but I guess it is testing my priorites to some extent.
I think my first year of college is going to make me more focused and a harder worker because it is different from what I used to. Nobody is on top of you like in high school to do your homework and come to class everyday. College forces you to make decisions and live with the consequences of the decisions.

Freshman Year
I think Baruch has lived up to most of my expectations. I have gotten to see the city in a different way. I am used to seeing parts like the Bronx and Brooklyn of the city. But since I made friends here at Baruch I have wen to SoHo a place I have never been before and eaten some good Mac and cheese. I want to try new things even though I might suck at them (pool).
I think my first semester has went well it was kind of tough mainly because of math but overall it has been fun. I have met new people and made new friends. It was a good introduction to college and what I can expect for the next few years and what I need to do to succeed in college.
One thing I would do differently is take math more seriously and take a more of a proactive approach to that class. Also I wouldn’t have complained so much about how bad my teacher is and instead made sure I did everything I possible could to pass that class.
I don’t think I have changed much because still don’t have the kind of mentality a person needs to be successful in college I believe. I just think my lazy habits from high school has followed me into college and has not allowed me to put my best foot forward and take college as serious as I know I should. I think that I am slowly coming out of my shell and starting to open up a bit more with my peers.

Before I moved Otisville, NY I called the Bronx my home. In my eyes the Bronx had everything a person could ever want. There was a corner store on every block that never seems to close. The only animals you would have to worry
about were dogs and cats. In the city in general there is always some means of transportation walking, train, bus, taxi, and driving. Also there is more of a variety when you want to hang out with friends and family. Also school was much different for me in my elementary/middle school most of the kids in the school were either Black or Spanish. Even afterschool you have more of a choice in what you want to do. I used to go to the Montefiore community center and play basketball and football and hang out with friends in a safe environment until my brother came and pick me up. But all of that changed when I moved it has really shaped my personality today.
When I first moved everything in my eyes was weird. The town that I moved to had a little town square that consisted of a post office, deli, and church. The nearest grocery store was ten miles away so the only way to get there was by car. Not to mention all of the stores closed at eight the latest nine unless it was Wal-Mart. High School was very difficult because I had came from a dominantly all black and Spanish school and now I was going to a dominantly white school. Everything about the school was different even the sports we played. In my old school we only really played basketball baseball and football but when I moved I was introduced to a whole new world of sports. At first I thought badminton, tennis, racquetball, archery, Kan Jam and ultimate Frisbee were the worst sports ever because I suck at them. But when I started to get better at them I actually started to enjoy playing badminton, archery, ultimate Frisbee, and Kan Jam outside of school with my friends. Also since there wasn’t much else to do afterschool but play sports and join clubs it was easy for kid s to start falling into bad habits like drugs and alcohol.
At I resented my mom for making me move away from my home in the city but now I understand why she did it. In her own way she helped me get used to the real world in that I am not always going to work with people
I am comfortable with but I have to learn how to work with people from a different background from mine. Also if I
had stayed down in the city I wouldn’t have my own car or even a license. Moving also exposed me to new things that I would have never done if I had stayed in the city. When I lived in the Bronx I used to make fun of the people who ride the “cheese” bus to school every day. Then when I moved I became one of those people who took the cheese bus to school every day until senior year. Moreover this past summer I was able to get over my fear of heights when one day at work I went in a hot air balloon for the first time in my life. Even I resented leaving my the Bronx I think it has made me a more well rounded person in life.
