Personally, I found the workshop on leadership to be very inspiration and motivational. Listening to the Baruch leaders truly inspired me to pursue extra circulars so that one day i too may be a leader. I left the workshop thinking about the leaders that we met and how much they have accomplished in their years at Baruch and that convinced me to want to start joining clubs as well. However, i also had some complaints with the presentation as well, mainly that the main man presenting seemed too jittery and in a way nervous. I guess I can say that for me it wasn’t as much the presentation itself that affected me as it was what they said and the deeper meaning i took away from it.

My first semester at Baruch was a huge surprise. I went from taking a gap year where I did zero work, to spending most of my free nights doing homework. The atmosphere also was a dramatic change for me. I went to a private high school where I knew every student in my grade, maybe even every student in my school. At Baruch I knew no one. There was no one to do work with, no one to hang out with during free time, and no one to help me with my studies I was struggling in. The LC changed all of this. I was in the same classes as mostly the same kids every single day. It helped me grow and create new friendships. The hardships of college just became easier and more laid-back. The LC is a great idea and being part of it really helped me apart to the new environment. In the beginning I believed that FRO would just be a waste of an hour and fifteen minutes of my day once a week; however, that did not turn out to be true. FRO has helped me ease into my courses, plan my schedule, and think about possible  career options. Even though we had work in FRO and got zero credits for it, FRO is a great class and really helps freshman.

I spent the last year of my life in Israel, where I learned about the israeli culture and about my religion.

I played goalie for my high school’s  varsity hockey team, which showed me the importance of a team and leadership.

I am in a family of 7. I have 3 sisters and 1 brother. I am extremely close with them. Family always comes first in my life.

I really enjoy hanging out with my friends. Whether I just became friends with someone or they are my best friend I value their friendships.
