1. I am a girl who likes to
   observe and think from people and their acting in the daily life. Doing that
   might be helpful for my social skills and also trying to learn the advantage
   and disadvantages from people’s behaviors. In addition, I would like to read
   and write to record things around me. I am smiling all the time, one who
   prefers to look through rose-colored glasses in my life, because life is a
   span. Therefore, helping people is the most force of my life. However, as a
   normal girl, I cannot resist any desert front of me; they are part of my life,
   but life is not all beer and skittles, we have to learn about love and
   tolerant, for every people you have meet in your life. I would say, never
   slacken your life, try to do your best and cherish what you now. College might
   be a good start of my life.
2. As a freshman of Baruch
   College, there is so many things are involve my future. First, language is
   always the biggest problem that I should face, because things are always depend
   on what you say to people even if you have great thoughts. Second, I am
   concerning about my math skills because they are basis for a Baruch student.
   Last, friendship is very important not only in college but also in the society.
3. I would have more presentation
   experiences and more chance to interact with friends that I had met in college.
   From these experiences, helps me be more independently and bravely.
4. The first year of college must
   be a turning point to my future. I have to face a lot of different situations
   that I never seen before, such as a new step to exploit my potentials.  Business is a war without bullets, thus, this
   brand new environment will help me to know how to survive and face the
   problems.

I am Ka Leung.  I came from Hong Kong two years ago as an immigrant. I am good at Maths and logic thinking, but I am doing bad on English, language, and remembering stuffs.  When I was in High School, I was a lazy person, never read and study even before exams.  However, I cannot be lazy anymore.  I entered Baruch College as a Freshman, I realized that classes in college are much more challenged.  I am a hard working person now, I have to read more books to catch up my reading and writing skills.  Also, I am time managed, without time manage, you will waste many time.

I am worrying about the Freshman year in college.  My GPA is very important to my future, GPA determine how you doing in college, if I fail to get high grade, I cannot find a great job.  Networking is also a challenge for me, I am shy and not good at communicate with others in English. Friends are important to your whole life.  Third, I am worrying job in college, I want to get working experience from the college, so that I can prepare for my future work.

The differences between Baruch College and high school are the time manage, independent, and studying.  In high school, there is no gap between classes, and we are more relax at home; in college, we have gap between classes, so we have to use the time to study and we have to manage the time to rest or study.  In high school, teachers settle and remind all the works  for us, but not in college.  In high school, classes are much more easier, but college is very hard, so we have to study harder in college.

The freshman year changed me so much, I was a person that never stay in library to study.  However, I have to go to library for every single day.

My name is Lihui Chen. I am a Baruch college freshman.  In this freshman year, I am trying to improve my English level because even I have been to America 3 years, my speaking and listening are still poor. Also , I am going to make some new friends in college because the more people you know in college, the more help you can get from others in college. Relationship is very important.  In addition, I am going to pass all the classes in the freshman year because I don’t want to waste time for retaking the classes. My Baruch College experience is very different from my high school experience. My high school is a public school. I did not have so much homework to do every day, but in college, I have to spend over 4 hours a day for studying. This big change is really hard for me to get through it. In the first year at college, I think I will know more about Baruch College and have more information about career so that I can decide to choose my major.

1. Tell us who do you think you are – My name is Ho Joon, you can call me Ho-J or Louis and I am from Korea. I have been here about 5 years.

2. Share your top 3 concerns about your freshman year at Baruch College and explain why – First of all, getting good GPA is one of my concerns about my freshman year. Now, I am not sure that whether I am doing right or wrong.  Second of all, another concern is relationship with professors. Because of my personalities, not talkative and shy, I have hard time to be friendly with professors. I should talk more. Finally, I concern that possibility of cutting out from Dean’s scholarship list. Subject that I hate the most in my life is history. However, I have Sociology, History, and Political Science in this semester. so, I think getting above 3.2 GPA is not going to be easy….
3. So far, what do you think will make your Baruch College experience different from your high school experience? – Hmm… maybe relationship?. Education?.. or… connection? are going to make my Baruch College experience different from my high school experience. I have attended baruch college about a month. However, I have felt that great GPA and relationship with friends or people are the most important thing in college experience. In high school, we actually do not need to concern study more than college. We could go to see teachers and please that we can take a quiz or test again and that worked out. But, in college, it does not. it is more like alone. Nobody is going to say or push me to do something and there are no excuses. So…relationships and education are going to make my college experience different from that of high school. What I think the most important in life are relationship and work (it could be study for students).

4. How do you think your first year at College will change you- I think my first year at College will change me as like an adult. Because everything is in my hand and I have do myself. More pressure on me…….. So, I think first year at college change me as adult.
