1. Who do I think I am?
2. What are my top 3 concerns about my freshman year?
3. How is college different from high school so far?
4. How will college change me?
1. Hi, my name is Fred M., but most people know me as Freddy. I am a Jewish American and I was born and raised in Brooklyn. I am of Syrian heritage, as that is where my ancestors were from. I am the youngest of four children in my family, and for those of you who think being the youngest means getting spoiled and loved the most- you’re wrong.
In my free time, I enjoy playing either football or softball- depending on the season.
2. Entering college, I had many concerns about starting college.
I was afraid that seeing as my only previous education was high school, I would not do well in college because of the workload and because of the very high expectancy of the teachers and professors.
I was also afraid that my stuttering problem would make many people not be able to understand what I am saying or not have the patience to hear what I have to say when speaking, and I am happy that people were overall understanding of my problem and got over it.
Last, I was afraid of not being in a place, surrounded with many other people who are just like me. In high school I was constantly surrounded by my peers and people I have been familiar with for my whole life- in college, that all changed but I feel now that meeting new people and friends is great.
3. My whole life I attended Jewish school. I went to a Jewish High School, and had a double curriculum learning Secular studies for half of the day and Judaic studies for the other half. I went from a day that started at 7:30am and ended at 5:30pm in high school, to a day that starts at 10:30am and ends at 4:00pm- not to mention no school on Fridays, and yet the workload in college is far greater.
4. To tell the truth, seeing as I just started college and I am still in the first semester of my freshman year, it is still hard to tell what I want to get out of my college experience. Eventually, I hope that I will learn what I want to in life as a profession from what I have learned in college.
