Who am I? This is incredibly hard, considering that I have tried writing like 5 responses to this stupid question. For the record, I am Vanessa Urrutia. I know who I am, but I don’t. I don’t know who I am because the person I am now will probably change for the better (I hope) within the next few years. But as of right now I am a daughter, a sister, a friend, and a student. I think I have a good sense of humor, and I know I am very lazy. I am El Salvadorian. I should be digging deeper, but I think I am too young to really know who I actually am.
My top 3 concerns for my freshman year are:
- The workload. I am definitely not used to doing work considering that I spent a majority of my senior year screwing around. And if I did do any work, I usually half-assed it. But now, I know it’ll all have to change if I want to succeed this year and the following years.
- Math. I absolutely hate math. I don’t know how I am going to get through math this year or any year for that matter. Any math class I take will definitely be a struggle that I will need to work hard at.
- Time management. I was always good with time management until I started becoming extremely lazy and a procrastinator. Now that I go to school and have an after school job on certain weekdays, I am afraid that I will not manage my time properly.
So far, my Baruch experience will differ from my high school experience because of the amount of freedom. In high school we were watched like babies and now, we’re on our own. No one will be there to spoon-feed us and it will definitely be weird that the teachers don’t even bothering trying to know our names.
I am not sure how my first year will change me. Hopefully I become smarter and less lazy. Hopefully my working ethics will change so that I can be a better student in the future.
