My first 3 months at Baruch went a lot better than I expected. I learned a lot and met a lot of great people. The professors here really open your mind to all the different issues that are taking place around the world and each provide a unique prospective to all the issues. I believe that these three months has helped me gain a lot more knowledge. I’m also really excited to get a involved with the different clubs here at Baruch. Everyone is so welcoming and makes you feel right at home.

The picture I picked is someone going through a journey. This is kind of how I think of my time here at Baruch. It is a journey that I am taking. I hope that on this journey I pick up more great things and meet more great people. Baruch provides great opportunities to do this and I am glad I get to experience it all.

The enrichment workshop hosted by the Office of Student life really helped me realize the importance of getting involved in school. They began the presentation by using unique instances of leadership throughout US history. One example that they used was the building of the Brooklyn Bridge. Without the leadership of many people, the bridge would’ve never been built. It takes leaders to lead the way and do big things.

One way to get involved as discussed in the workshop is to join clubs in school. I have already been to a few club meetings and found a club I would like to be a permanent member of. I also signed up for team Baruch to be an P.A.W.S. member. Hopefully I get the position! But anyways, what was stressed a lot during the workshop is that Baruch is a great place to build your leaderships skills and they provide a lot of opportunities for you to do so.

1. Our group chose to do medical care as our theme. We chose this theme because it seemed relevant at this time, especially with the whole Obamacare change that is coming in 2014. The articles I selected had to do with health insurance, and medical cost.
2. My role in the project was to summarize an international and national article about medical care.
3. This project hasn’t really influence my views on news literacy. I read newspapers daily and get all my “news literacy” from there.

Humpback Whales are my favorite animal. Even though they look very big and scary, humpback whales are actually really friendly animals. They are very resilient and their song is so beautiful. Here is an amazing story about a whale being rescued and how it thanked the people who rescued it :  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R6pKX3whms8

Hiking is not just a physical activity it is also a great way to get in touch with nature. Being in the city deprives us of the beauty nature provides. I love hiking because there is always a sense of excitement of not knowing what to expect. And usually after a long trip hiking, you get rewarded with beautiful scenery.

Even though I cannot draw for my life, I really enjoy designing clothings. But instead of drawing them I would actually make them myself. A lot of the clothing I wear is actually designed and made by me and my mom. Currently we are in the process of designing our line of baby clothes, which we hope to be out on the markets around summer 2014.

How I Met Your Mother is the funniest show ever. If you never watched it, your missing out. Its so hilarious and I’m so upset that this season is suppose to be the last season. Man! I can’t wait to see the part when Ted finally meets the mother!

Sustainability is very important to me. Being green is not only a way of life, it is also a way to be morally responsible.  Going green will not only make our resources last longer, it will also benefit our health by keeping pollutant out of the air we breathe.

Yoga and meditation is my way to de-stresss! After a stressful day all I want to do is that. It is super relaxing to spend some time alone and  let the stress of a long day just melt away.

YUM! I LOVEEEE FOOD. But my most favorite food is Mexican food. It must be the cheese. If you add cheese to anything, I would be all over it.

Road Trip Anyone? Maine is the most gorgeous place on earth. I went there in the summer of 2009 and I’ve been dieing to go back. Not only is the scenery just breathe taking, they also have delicious seafood and nautical towns!
