Hi,
My name is Ana. I currently live in Brooklyn.I was born and raised in Guatemala and moved to NY about 11 years ago. My favorite color is black, my favorite fruit is peach and I love to laugh and make corny jokes. I would describe myself as a strong and independent woman with high expectations of myself. My mother has established a great example for me. She was able to build her own house and raise my brother and I by herself in Guatemala, one of the most violent places in Central America. When I look at her life, I begin to think about my life and what I would accomplish. If she was able to do what she did alone then there is more much that I can accomplish with the help of school, mentors, family and friends.
Some of my concerns as a freshman college student in Baruch are adapting to the transition, managing my time and maintaining my GPA. I tend not to stress about school related work. Although it is of high importance in my life, I’m very relaxed about it. I’m not like other people who stress out and go crazy, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that I don’t care. I am a procrastinator but soon that will change, hopefully, and I’ll be able to manage my time better between school, church, friends and family.
I think that college won’t necessarily change who I am, it will just help me become a better person. It will make me a more knowledgeable person and open the doors to many opportunities that will help me grow. I look forward to completing the journey that I’ve just began and to become the best that I can be. 😀
