Who do I think I am? I think I am just an ordinary eighteen year old guy. I love sports and computers and hanging out with friends just like any other guy my age. I love learning about new types of technology that comes out. When a new computer or phone comes out I like to look in to how they work because it makes me happy as well as keeps me well informed. Ever since I was a little kid I have always felt very shy in public. I would try to avoid any type of situation where I would have to speak out loud or do a presentation. But when I am with my friends I am always open and free to express my opinions.
What are my top three concerns about my freshman year at Baruch College? My top three concerns are what if I fail, what if I disappoint my family, and what if I disappoint myself. Neither of my parents went to college so being here means a great deal to both of them and me. I always try to strive for the best but theirs always the chance that I could not meet Baruch Colleges expectations. I am sure this won’t happen but I always like to keep in mind what would happen if I didn’t remember the reason why I chose to go to this school. I chose this school to better myself as a whole and I can’t allow myself to falter.
So far, what do I think will make my Baruch college experience different from my high school experience? I think one of the more major differences will be the class sizes. In my high school classes weren’t very large. My high school was no were near as big as Baruch college so it’s kind of weird for me not to know everybody.
How do I think my first year at College will change me? I think being here at Baruch will make me feel more open to new and exciting opportunities like getting used to public speaking. I think this year will truly set the tone for how the rest of my college experience will go. I hope I can get used to how huge this school really is. Since I never was in any school were there was so many students. But ultimately I feel that by the end of my first year of College I will have grown as a person and that is what I am most excited for.
