After being in first semester for a while now and attending college classes, I have realized the dramatic difference between college and high school. In college, the classes are much longer and much more rushed. Everything is taught at a quick pace and much self studying is done on your own. I feel that some lecture classes are rather long and boring and I can’t find myself concentrating the whole time.

The enrichment workshop that I have attended the other day was okay. I learned some stuff that may be practical for the remaining time in college but it wasn’t too detailed. I got to learn more about the required courses that I will be needing to take in order to get into different programs. This helped me with choosing my classes so it was quite useful. However, the video itself was pretty boring and I didn’t find the other information too useful to my personal opinions and liking.

After completing your Focus 2 assessment, post your action plan onto the blog site and answer the following prompts below:

a. “What have you learned about yourself through your self-assessments and how has this affected your choice of major and career goals?” After taking the self assessments I have learned that I am leaning towards the right field of major. I should continue pursuing after my choice of major and continue pursuing my career goals.

b. “How do these results reflect a change from what you expected or planned for yourself previously?”
The results were very similar to what I had imagined. Although there were some variation and minor alternatives, it shows that I should continue doing what I do and continue after Finance.

c. “How did participating in FOCUS 2 help you clarify a future direction for yourself?”
By participating in Focus 2 it helped me clarify a clearer and more positive goal for what I have to do and continue to do. I believe that the Focus 2 cleared up my confusions and doubts and has assured me of my personal instincts. I will look into the alternatives and results more and see how whether it would be useful or not.

My group did the ny times project on domestic violence. We chose this topic since it has heavy effects on society and the people around us. Also, this issue has been increasing rapidly through times and more and more people are being affected by it each day. We chose this topic to bring awareness to this issue so that potential Baruch students wouldn’t be affected by Domestic Violence.

8 Picture Slideshow

I created a 8 picture slideshow to represent who I am to my classmates. The theme of this slideshow is New York City since I feel that it represents me the most. The pictures of New York City resembles the places I have spent my past 18 yrs in. I believe that this simple slideshow can strongly express who I am through the environment I’ve grown up in. I grew up in Queens, New York and have lived there for the past 18 years. I have attended school in Queens, the Bronx, and currently Manhattan. I believe that New York City have influenced me to become who I am today.
