Hello my name is Glorianne Escobar but everyone usually calls me Gigi. I couldn’t find my original monologue but Sheena said I could write a new one. This one will probably look better anyways. Well I decided I want to talk about how much I miss my parents since that is exactly how I am feeling right at this moment. I’ve been away from home for more than 4 months now and every now and then i get so emotional because I miss them so much. My parents always told me that friends come and go throughout your whole life but your parents will always love you no matter what. Living on my own is not easy at all and i really dont know how ive been managing but I have. Not only do I miss my parents but I also miss my little sister. I probably miss her more than them because she has always looked up to me so much. She’s only 5 years old but she’s so smart that they are going to skip her one grade up. Everytime I go visit my parent’s house she asks me when I’m coming back home and I have to explain to her once again that when people get older they have to leave their parent’s home and make a new home but she just cries because she says she misses me. I’m not saying I plan on trying to move back in with my parents because obviously we all have to grow up eventually but I do wish i could be 5 again and have no worries or responsibilities.

I was going to write my monologue on the last three months, and pretend that living uptown and doing my own laundry and grocery shopping for once actually made me a different person. Because for awhile I was convinced that I was changed. That just being a college student made me a new and improved Michael. I had that idea in my head up until two nights ago, when i heard that my father had been in an accident, and was in the hospital. While on duty as a Suffolk police officer, he was clipped and ran over by a truck when he got out of his car for roadside assistance. I haven’t talked to him yet, but I’m being told he’s going to be okay. Obviously as soon as I heard I was shocked and didn’t know what to feel. But then I immediately fell victim to the worst case of homesickness. I have never missed my family, and especially my dad, more than I do now. So rather than preach about what an amazing revelation my first semester of college has been, I’ll tell you the one thing I have learned in the past three months: Family is important. Whoever it is you consider to be your family, appreciate them and be thankful, just for there existence. Realize how important a text is, just to say you’re alive. Spend time on family when you can because obviously, you never know when you won’t be able to any more.

I felt the Baruch Voices performance that we attended did not only accurately portray the experience of students here at Baruch, but it also served as a nice source of entertainment. The Baruch Voices, I felt, gave at least one example of which that students could personally relate too. I could relate to at least 2 or 3 monologues performed at Baruch Voices.

Having missed the previous Voices performances I wasn’t sure what to expect. I was pretty tired, but the part that I was actually awake for was pretty good. I was disappointed that the ones that were chosen from our class weren’t performed because I felt like they would be very entertaining to everyone watching, due to the fact that they were silly and not serious like most of the monologues.

This has been me for most of the semester

My experience at baruch so far has been interesting. I can’t even pinpoint exactly if it has been good or bad.  The professors I have are a mixed bag. I have strange, nice, funny, and some boring professors. The workload they give is very varied. The days fly by very quickly and I’m glad. It seems like the semester just began and we’re already starting our finals. It’s nice to be in charge of my own academic career without having teachers remind me and push me to do things. I like having time between classes to relax and have some time to catch up on homework or reading. . It gets a little stressful once every two weeks when it seems like everything is due at the same time, but that passes quickly.

My experience at Baruch has been one of progress. I feel that even though some days I dread coming to school I’m pushing myself forward in my life. This first semester Was okay but I feel my next semesters will be much better consider I get to choose my classes. I met a lot of new people and went through many different experiences so in all my first semester at Baruch was a positive experience.

Voices was pretty interesting. It’s cool to see the different ways people cope with life and how they deal with daily issues. I liked how each participant had their own creative way to expressing themselves. Not something I would be a part of though Iid feel too uncomfortable.

Richard Schweky

Monologue

My name is Richard Schweky. It would be very hard to explain who I am to you without you actually getting to know me. I don’t feel like pictures or videos or even writing can truly describe who I am and what I do. So that being the case I feel the best
way that could describe myself is through writing. I am a very outgoing person I like to go out and meet people as well as have a good time. I love to travel and see new sights and places. Some of my hobbies include playing football and baseball. I play guitar as well and I love coming up with songs and recording them. I would show you some of my songs but I couldn’t transfer the files to share them so another time. I am a very motivated and driven person. I try not to waste time doing wasteful things. As well I like to find the time to appreciate certain things. For example last year I took off a year and went to Israel where I met a bunch of great people and had the time of my life. It was a great experience for me as I had time off of school after 12 years of it. I had time to think and relax and it was a really great year. I work at a company that sells art related accessories. I really it enjoy because I have my own creative input in the work. In addition I am in college to build upon both an academic and professional career. I am currently striving to go into a finance major. I pick up on numbers pretty easily and I find it fun to put up with the crazy market trends that occur daily. But I guess I’m putting myself up to the challenge that will take a lot of time and patience. So that is just a fun way to get to know who I am.

Hey everyone my name is Imran Xhelili. I’m from Staten Island and went to Staten Island Tech. I came here from Albania when I was 4 and then grew up here. I didn’t know how to speak english until the end of the second grade. For a while I didn’t know what I wanted to do with my life. But then I began playing guitar and that’s all i’ve wanted to do for the past few years of my life. Music is what I want to do for the rest of my life and i’m here to try to make something out of myself and get into music management
