My thoughts

Maham, when I hear my name the first thing that comes to mind is , Pakistani American Muslim. I’m a very hard working person, I wish for everyone to smile, and I hope that one day where ever I am, I will make everyone around me happy.  I’m very loving and caring. I’m a role model for my little sister. Many of my friends know me inside and out; I’m an open book, well after you get to know me.  Like if you’re not a friend you would never know that I listen to Korean music or even the fact that I watch Japanese dramas. That I have a big fear of animals, no matter how cute they are.My top three concerns in college are, finding friends, getting use to the college atmosphere, and being able to handle the work load. After coming to college though all these concerns are gone, thanks to the block program.  I have made a few friends that are helping me get use to the college atmosphere, as well as the work load.  Everything is falling into place. Baruch is different from high school for the very fact that I have to go on the bus and subway every day. The protected child has to face the real world. This change is just a very big one on its own, but another change is the very fact I’m no longer in Queens, and now in the city. I can finally explore the city and learn what’s it’s all about.  The changes I expect after my first year of college in my life , is being more independent, yet learn that I will always have help available if I need it.The changes and concerns may be the same for many other freshmen, yet the way we face them and experience will always be different.  I will always be my unique self, and they will always be their unique self.
