Who I think I am is an interesting question. It’s a philosophical question. This question always has me stumped. I usually can never think of anything. I think Im a college freshman that is trying to get by and learn the ways of college. Im born and raised in Brooklyn.I think I have a fun and outgoing personality. I like to believe I get along with everyone. Some background information on my life is growing up in a Russian Jewish Immigrant family. My family came here before I was born. It was extremely difficult for my parents to adjust moving to America. I have one older brother and we once didn’t get along, but now my family has become closer.
Anyways, some differences I’m already seeing between college and high school are the seriousness of studying, doing assignments, and being on time. In high school, I was able to get away with a lot of things, and make friends with my teachers. In college, it’s a totally different environment and experience. Some of the major concerns I know I’m going to have with attending Baruch is my punctuality. I’ve always had troubles with being on time, everyone knows that I’m always late. Now that I’m in college, I have to learn a way to make it on time because lateness is simply not tolerated. Another serious concern I have with college is studying. In high school, I didn’t study a lot. It’s going to be really hard and absolutely mandatory to adjust, and learn how to study. My final concern I have with going to college is my procrastination. Not only do I have issues with studying habits, lateness, but I’m also a really bad procrastinator.
I think college will change me severely, hopefully in really good ways. I hope that after this wild experience, I will improve on all my flaws and become a better more mature person. It’s going to take a lot of work for me to improve, but I know that college is going to aid me towards that direction.
