Hello, World! My name is Wei Li. Once I was an ordinary guy from a small village in China. I came to the Unite States with my family four years ago, and it brought a brand new world to me. Even though I still have some struggle with my English, I attempt to communicate with others. As in New York, the center of world, I saw different people from almost every areas, and I experienced a lot of thing that I never had before, their culture, religion and food. 🙂
For my freshman year at Baruch, communication skill is my top concern. In class, I can not respond to professor’s question, or sometimes I could not really organize my words, although I did follow professor’s point. As most of freshmen, club activity is my second concern. Unlike high school, there are numerous clubs or organizations provide us varieties of information and opportunity. It is challenged for freshmen to figure out which are best applicable for us. GPA is the third, and it is definitely most concern of freshmen.
Differ to high school, professors would never press us for attendance and homework. We are given more personal space, but it also means more responsibility, self-responsibility. We spend more time at home instead at campus, we manage our time in completing assignment. We also need to balance our personal and academic life.
I do not know how my first year at Baruch would change me, but the unknown future make me challenged and excited. All in all, “I came, I saw, I conquered.”
I discovered your weblog website on google and check a couple of of your early posts. Continue to keep up the excellent operate. I just extra up your RSS feed to my MSN Information Reader. Seeking forward to reading more from you later on!…
Hi Wei,
Great post!
How has growing up in China shaped who you are today? Other than English, have you had any other struggles?
I think its really great that you are are embracing all the cultural differences you have encountered – keep it up – it will make you a “richier” person.
I think it would be great for you to find a club that you are most interested in as opposed to which one might be the most beneficial to you and your career. As you get more comfortable in the school, and really figure things out than you can find one that will best aid you. The point is, to get out and make new connections.
I look forward to reading more from you!
