It’s pretty easy for me to find a picture that represents my first few months here at Baruch. Looking back at the first semester, all I see is volleyball. This is a picture taken seconds after we won the championship on November 2nd, against our rival school, Hunter. This picture describes my experience at Baruch, because being a part of the volleyball team made my transition into college so much easier. Coming across the country, into a new city, where I didn’t know anybody could have ended very badly. It can be really hard to meet people and do things in situations like that. But coming into a team before school even started, ensured that I already had 14 automatic friends and about 15 from the boys’ team. If I wasn’t playing volleyball at Baruch, not only would the transition have been hard, but I actually wouldn’t have ended up here. There is no possible way I could have survived this semester and the semesters to come without volleyball.
