I honestly hate this question with a passion because truthfully, i don’t know who i am. I know that i am jewish, i know that i am persian, and i know that I’m a volunteer firefighter/EMT. But those are just things i do know about myself. Who do i think i am? I think that i am a caring, and loving person. I think that i’m a very chill guy, and if anyone asked me for a favor i would do it. I think that i am very selfless, which is actually kind of bad in a way, but i learn how to deal with it. I think that i am very hardworking, and when something needs to get done i make sure it gets done. What are my top 3 concerns about my freshman year at Baruch. My first concern is how much work i will be getting. In high school i literally didn’t do anything. I don’t remember if i even wrote one paper during senior year. I just hope that i succeed in all the work i get. Another concern during my freshman year is meeting new people. Are freshman class is pretty descent, and everyone is very interesting but i hope the transition just goes very smoothly. And last but not least i’m concerned whether or not i will even enjoy coming to Baruch since it wasn’t even one of my choices. I honestly don’t think that anything will be different at Baruch college then my high school. I think that the only different experience i will have is the amount of work load i will receive from all my teachers, and how this school is so diverse. I went to a private school when i was in high school, it was called a yeshiva and there weren’t really different ethnicity’s. I am looking forward to having class with so many different kids, should be interesting and fun and see how everyone else’s mind actually works. I honestly think that during my first year of college, i will realize that i’m all on my own. No one is there to tell me do your homework, i have the power to do what i want. I will mature in many ways, and i will be surprise at things i do that i never thought i could do.
Let me start of by saying that being a volunteer firefighter is awesome. Second, the goal of the freshmen seminar is to help that transition from high school to college be as smooth as possible. That is why you have me, marco, and the rest of your fro class. If you need any help feel free to ask. One benefit of coming to Baruch, which isn’t many peoples first choice, is the diversity. We are the most diverse school and just being in downtown manhattan you get to see the vast array of people. I feel like im giving a sales pitch on why Baruch is good but its the truth. Finally I hope you do surprise yourself in a positive way when you discover the kind of person you grow up to be.
