trying to describe myself in a few words

Hi! My name is Maria Garcia. I am 17 years old turing 18 this October. The task to describe one’s self is a challenge in itself. One can list numerous general adjectives that can describe half of New York City which unsuccessfully describe the essence of your character. What I can say is that the person that I was going into high school is not the same person that graduated and is a freshman at Baruch college today! I made the most drastic transformation that consists of my maturity and academic dedication.  I went from an easily distracted individual, to an academically centered student that hopes to excel in every aspect at Baruch College. I plan to prioritize my education and evade the temptation of partying excessively. Although I will not sacrifice my social life and go to the extreme for my GPA. College emphasizes the art of time management. I know it is important to expand your horizons and meet new people in a very diverse school like Baruch. Networking in college is essential for future job opportunities.

My main concern for my freshman year is to establish a high GPA and start my college career with a competitive edge. I also want to begin networking and thats why I have decided to rush for the sorority Theta Pi Gamma. In addition to the sorority I was planning on joining a team at Baruch but unfortunate for me there is no soccer team at Baruch. (On the bright side, Daniel in the math class,  has informed me that he is writing up a proposal to start a female soccer team at Baruch and I will help him). I plan to make my college experience a very rewarding chapter of my life, seeing that it will have the greatest impact on the quality of life I will have. So far I am very optimistic of my years at Baruch College. LC 09 are great people that I look forward to sharing my first semester with!
