I tried uploading a picture of a roller coaster in this blog but I still can’t for some weird technical reason. My experience in Baruch college up to now has been a real roller coaster.. In the beginning I kept on asking myself what i really wanted to be. I was stuck between teaching and accounting. Everyday I thought about it because I had to figure it out as soon as possible. Whenever I go outside there were signs that I thought and told me what I should be like little children learning and reading in the subway cars in the R train but then there were the businessmen with their suits. I contemplated about it and in the end I found out what I wanted to be. It was clear to go to accounting in the end. It was better for my family and I just wanted to make a lot of money in the end. my test scores have been roller coaster as well. Sometimes going as high in the 90s then dropping to the failing marks. I know the failing marks were my fault because I just simply didn’t study because of other circumstances and reasons. Now I know how to be always in the top of the roller coaster and don’t drop down. Its so simple just study and use the time wisely. Go to different classes were also a roller coaster, Going to math and english in monday mornings I was always so tired and bored but then came philosophy in the afternoon which always brightened my mood because it was one of my favorite class. Then the rollercoater kept on going higher on tuesdays and thursdays as I had my art class and psychology class that was always interesting and funny,

My favorite workshop was the Baruch Voices. The Baruch Voices shows us the diversity and the differences and similarities in all Baruch students. Some have come a long way from out of New York just to be here while others live one block away from Baruch. All of the small experiences that each Baruch student had experienced was read in a monologue . The monologue shows the problems and happiness every Baruch student probably have experienced already like making new friends and getting a good score in a Sociology test. The monologues shows these experiences in a witty and funny way. Just sitting with your friends in the monologue was very hilarious as each of us laughed and said what’s he or she talking about or yea i had that problem. In the end we see our problems in the monologue and try to fix it. One of the funniest part of the monologue was when a guy thought they were talking about a girl in his block but then as the monologue winded down he was talking about just sizzling bacon. This made me laugh so hard. Another inspiring one was talking about what we have to do in Baruch to make it in the world and that we must be in top of our competition all the time. Since I am always competitive I agree but not in studying though . This monologue showed me i have to do better in studies as soon as possible as Finals approach. In the end I think the monologues were a great way to express the Baruch student’s feelings and problems.
