Please Note: The picture on the side of my post ( the girl tourist who is lost) is the picture I am trying to portray here. The girl is trying to find her way around while looking for new and exciting places to explore. That girl is very similar to myself because during these past few months at Baruch, I was like an explorer witnessing new places and meeting new people wherever I went. Not unlike Dora the Explorer, often I was faced with obstacles that I found difficult to overcome at first. Some of these difficulties included facing the fact I was on my own in the city as well as developing a stronger sense of awareness that would help me in day to day problem solving. When I had to write an original paper for my English class, I was very close to giving up at several points but I remembered that I must start somewhere and that none gets it perfect on the first try. Just like Dora emphasizes, you must pass each obstacle in order to reach the reward on the other side. Hmm… maybe there was more to my young obsession with the show’s cute songs and characters. During these past few months, I have gained a certain independence that I am most definitely proud of. I no longer depend on my family to make decisions for me whether it is a decision about when to study or which graduate school is best for me. I make sure to follow what I feel is the right choice. After all, when you take part in a job that makes you happy, you have a better chance in being successful. So, while I am still an explorer in the sense that I am still uncertain of which path in life is the most suitable for me, I am confident in my choice to start my adult life in Baruch College where the opportunities are endless.
