Even though Yousuf already posted his :))) Yay for Yousuf!
Here’s my monologue from Freshman Year in case you need some ideas.
Remember, it’s due on Tuesday 🙂 and don’t forget a picture!
Post a monologue you’ve developed in your seminar, along with a self portrait (which can be a photograph, an image, a cartoon or some other depiction of how you see yourself).
I’m the typical teenager who likes to do the typical things. I like to eat, sleep and go out. I graduated from William Cullen Bryant High School in Long Island City. With a 40% drop out rate, it wasn’t the best, but I have to say it wasn’t the worse either. I was able to meet friends and I was able to explore. I found out what I liked and what I wanted to do with the rest of my life. I found out that I loved poetry. None of that Shakespeare sonnet stuff or Ayaz’s poems. I love real legit modern poetry. I also started planning my career path at the end of my High School years. I want to be an event planner. I want to intern at different companies and land a real part time job before I turn 20 and a full time job when I hit 23. It doesn’t seem quite realistic, but when I look back at what my siblings did, I start to believe in myself.
Two of my sisters also graduated from Baruch. They both found internships and worked their way up to a part time position then full time before they even turned 22. At such a young age, they found out what they wanted to do and never stopped pushing forward to achieve it. They are who I want to become when I grow up. Just like how everyone else looks up to someone, my two sisters are my role models.
To hit that level of success like my sisters did, I know I’ll have to open up more and start networking. I knew I had to get involved with things so I basically signed up for every club there was at Baruch. Even though I haven’t had the time to actually participate in every club, I can now proudly say that I am part of the USG Campus Affairs Committee and one of a million photographers of the Ticker.
I am the typical undergrad student. I am no different from any other student here at Baruch. I am lazy, I procrastinate but at the end of the day I work hard to play hard. And like everyone else, I learned to love Baruch College.
It’s very hard to know who you are to other people. You can only see who you are to yourself. To the best of my assumptions, I might say that when people who know me well (I’m not naming names) think of me, they might think of anything like the Yankees, baseball, basketball, football, or something like that. That is what I think of. These are sports that I follow, watch, and play competitively. They are my identity. I cannot speak for anyone else, but they are things that I can be proud of; they make me who I am.
Of course it is barely three weeks into the school year and I don’t know a lot of people and a lot of people don’t know me that well. But if there’s one thing I want people to think about me, it is that I always want to put others before myself. I am not always able to do that, but I try to the best of my ability to give more than I receive. I don’t want any appreciation; I always say that the greatest fulfillment in life is paying it forward: doing for someone that someone else has done for you. I don’t know who said it, but my father told me it, “Heroes earn their medals, real heroes earn their medals and don’t step up to claim them.” That is what I like about paying it forward; it’s not about honor or appreciation, it’s about the sole satisfaction of helping someone.
Hey there! – I know you guys are procrastinating and complaining about your First Blog Post.
So I decided to post this with you guys – just so it seems fair
I so graciously came up with a playlist and an eight image slide show
And for the video.. you guys can go ahead and do that yourselves 😀
Here’s a variety of songs I listen to:
http://grooveshark.com/playlist/Fro+2012/77370182
Frankie Valli – Can’t Take My Eyes Off Of You
Far East Movement – OMG ft Snoop Dog
Geggy Tah – Whoever You Are
Jessie J – We Found Love
Will.I.Am – This is Love ft Eva Simon
Eurythmics – Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)
Nero – Promises (Skrillex Remix)
Super Junior – It’s You
Jay Chou – Where is the Promised Happiness
Disturbed – Stricken
I don’t have a favorite band/artist. I listen to just about anything.
1) I love Thai Iced Tea. I love food.
2) I value food over clothes/materialistic things/whatever. This was taken at Ninja NYC
3) This was the best lobster I’ve ever had – at Montauk – All you Long Island people! Take me there again!
4) Montauk/East Hampton (One of those) I love to smile and do silly things – don’t judge me
5) Some of my extended family members – don’t judge me for this too!
6) Two of my favorite dancers – Alex Wong and Twitch from So You Think You Can Dance
7) Cyrus – I’m rooting for him. You should all watch him win the show on Tuesday at 8PM on Channel 5 :))
8) I’m a Photography minor so don’t judge me yet! I’m not a pro!
9) So far I’ve only taken classes for Black and White film photography but I like to play around with digital
10) Regrettably this was taken with my Cellphone – but this was at the Highline – and the Highline is my favorite place in New York
