1. Who do I think I am?

My name is Zahava, I am a Jewish American, from a half israeli and half american background. I am a daughter, a sibling to three other kids in my family, a friend and a student. I am a social and fun girl who is always up to having a good time, but also love relaxing on my own and doing my own thing. I love going out, but also love coming home. I’m living in the city now and I love it. I have always been a city girl and now i can take full advantage of it. My biggest hobby is dancing, I have been dancing for years and hopefully will continue for a while.

2. What are my top 3 concerns about my freshman year?

a. my biggest concern is not being able to keep up. I think I am a good worker and don’t get too overwelmed but i am very nervous for midterms and finals.

b. my next concern is not being able to decide what i want to do and what i want to major in

c. my last concern is not registering for good classes second semester! I have no idea which classes to take..

3. how is college different from high school so far?

I went to a Jewish High School, and had a double carriculum. I started school at 8:15 and didnt finish untill around 5:30 everyday. I had all the regular english subject and also Hebrew and biblical studies. In college i have so much free time and not as much work! The work in college is more important and feels like it matters more, but I feel like i have so much time to do it which is awesome. College is also different because i met so many people from different backgrounds and ethnicities, and in my High School everyone had simiar jewish backgrounds. I love that i am able to meet different kinds of people and learn more about different values and customs.

4. How will college change me?

Its hard to answer so early in my college experience, but I am hoping that College will give me a very clear idea of exactly what I want to do, and teach me to work hard until I get there. I hope to meet a lot of people and help me learn how to adjust to all different situations and people. I want to keep growing and maturing and am excited for the experience.
