I had fun writing this :)

Hello All,
My name is Alex and of the things that I like, what I like best is my Freshman Seminar class. I like this best because we have an awesome peer mentor leading it, who is always pertinent in getting us the information that we need, answering any questions we may have – she will never simply direct you to an email – and makes sure that we fully understand the assignments given. Another reason this class is what I like best is the importance it bears on our ability to function within not only the Baruch community, but society as a whole. If it were not for this class, we would not know of the giant, seemingly obvious, library across the street; nor would we understand the importance of making friends and being social. It is because of the writing activities and open class discussions that we have here than I have become the social butterfly I am today. Before this class I was an over-critical and sarcastic jerk. But look at me now! I appreciate the smaller things in life, like puppies.
When considering who is important to me, the first group I think of is that of my school community. During the short time I have been a student here I have found strong clubs (full of dedicated, participating students), a friendly and cooperative bureaucracy that has answered all questions I may have had and is dedicated to finding solutions to my problems, and escalators that are fully functional.
I identify myself as cooperative, easy-going, and understanding. Never in class discussions do I interrupt people or argue, and I always make sure that everyone’s point is understood without attacking anyone’s ideas or asserting my opinions over theirs. I am easy-going in that if I disagree with a point made, I will not take up class time to put it down or call it invalid. Finally I identify myself as understanding because if someone has an opinion that differs from mine, I will take the time to help them understand why they are wrong. Through this, I assert that I am not a “megalomaniac with a god-complex” like one ex-girlfriend has called me, but a true, honest, and integral part to our class and the community.
