This gif I created represents my experience at Baruch college thus far. The first three months going into a whole new setting that sets it apart from high school is the level of work and deadlines incorporated in different classes. There were some classes that had a lot work and times to study that felt like they so called “college experience”. Most time I spend my days studying or hanging out with friends. During the three months at Baruch college I have met a lot of new interesting people and some who have become my friends. There are times I felt in some of my classes I was in high school all over again. While in others I never it was all new to me from the class like Anthropology and learned a lot of interesting things.  At Baruch college there were many open windows of opportunities to enjoy your time from the Candy Crush event that gave free chocolate away to many types of clubs to join and to have fun. My Baruch experience was nice and I learned a lot of useful material that I can incorporate into my life.

A) I learned that from the assessment their are different types of majors that range matching my personality and skills besides accounting. It may effect my decision in what I planned to pursue and my goals when I declare my major. But I’ll still go with accounting.

B) I didn’t know their were other careers that match my criteria and goals. I chose to attend Baruch College for my career in business and attend Zicklin, I know that for sure its in business. But I will look into more careers offered in business.

C)Focus 2 helped me a lot in discovering my horizons that its not strictly broad if I ever dislike the major intend to commit to. There are more majors that match perfectly with me. It made clearly think more about my future and help plan it.

My group selected Syria as the topic for our New York Times project. The topic was chosen because it was a major issue concerning the United States and the world. The Syrian conflict has been in the scope for two years and its a continuing issue. This topic reflects the events happening around us in the world and world issues that play in a role on politics, economy and society. We are connecting to world events to discover our own opinions and ideas on the issues that are similar to the crisis in Syria.
