Who do you think you are?
My name is Anthony Scotto and I’m a freshman here at Baruch College. It is my aspiration that I become a CPA one day and make a lot of money. One of my concerns about my freshman year is time management. In high school it was never that big of a deal because I never had as much homework as I do now. My next concern is not being individual. There are so many kids in this school it’s going to be tough to stand out. Last year I was involved with everything in my school. There was a good chance more people knew who I was then I knew who they were. My last concern would have to be the testing. I have not received my first college exam yet but I am preparing for the worst and hope for the best. I think the main difference from my experience from high school to college will be freedom. In college you aren’t going to have people telling you what to do things and how to do them. This freedom is a double edge sword in which I plan to master. Another big difference is athletics. Throughout my four years of high school I played football, basketball, and ran track. Unfortunately Baruch College does not have a football team and I don’t believe I’ll have the time to join any other sports right now because of school and work. My first year of college will change me quite a bit. Back home I never had to make my own meals, do my own laundry, or take public transportation everywhere. This experience will help me grow as a man for future life experiences. Dorming is a very big change for me as well. I have never had a roommate before that wasn’t my own family member. This situation will help me learn the valuable lesson of compromise. In conclusion, I am very excited about this new college experience and even though there will be some long, stressful nights ahead of me I am ready and willing to take the bull by the horns.
