I used the image of Christopher Columbus discovering the new world because this picture clearly defined my experience here at Baruch. Coming into college is kind of like an adventure your not really sure exactly what to expect, what your professors are going to be like, and if you’ll make any friends. Its a journey that requires courage and patience. Everyday I learned something like what type of services are available at Baruch and where I can find them. Sometimes you make journeys alone at first and later on find people to come with you. During your journey you run through obstacles and find ways to overcome them. This is how my experience at Baruch has been like. It has been a continuous journey of good days and bad days. At first I was lonely and  I wasn’t knowledgeable about my surrounding now I have a few friends and can help direct other on where to find a classroom or professor. Every journey is a lesson and a reward presents itself. If  someone we didn’t take a risk we might not have discovered America or go to the moon. You have to be open to the journey and whatever may come along with it. So far I have had a decent time at Baruch and I’m still open to what this journey has in store for me.

I particularly really enjoyed attending the Voices performance of this year’s semester freshman seminar class. It was really interesting to hear the monologues and opinions of my fellow classmates. In a sense it made me feel as if I was much more closer to my peers. The actors were quite engaging. I learned a lot more about my peers and realized that although we are all different we have much more in common than I thought. Being here at Baruch, commutting  from the bouroughs to school, taking all these credits  sometimes with all the hustle and bustle of being a college student we forget about dealing with our emotions. The monologues gave me a change to express my life and feeling in a nutshell. In class I got to hear my classmates monologues and learned so much more about them. The voices performance exposed me to the immense talent that my freshman class possess. I enjoyed every performance. Some were thought provoking others were completely hysterical. I love acting so I felt right in my element and was impressed how they gave life to words.
