So far this semester, I’ve experienced many changes i had to adjust to. For one i could say the work given to me lead me to discipline myself to just do it. Especially due to the fact that I just came fresh off of “senioritis” from high school, didn’t really do much my last semester at Bedford Academy. This was huge for me to start completing assignments because it shows how responsible I’ve become. Especially because going to college comes with alot of responsibility. This leads to why i chose the picture of a plant growing to show how i grew as the semester progressed. Coming to a college pretty much felt like adjusting to a foreign country. It is very different from high school, much bigger, more activities to do, and alot more work to be responsible for. Also no more parent teacher conference, so overall at Baruch I’m responsible for myself and only i could prove whether i  have a successful college career or not. It  hit me as soon as people in my family kept repeating how important it is for me to do well in college. They explained that the more education i gain the better life will be, and how overall i could get a good job to help me get by in this economy. This pressure on me in time eventually turned into confidence because i notice how much more dedicated i was to my education. Baruch helped me grow to the point that i feel ready to be an adult and take on any responsibility that comes in my way                                                             .
