My first semester at Baruch had been academically and socially stimulating. After a break from school I was excited to get back to learning and Baruch provided me with a wonderful opportunity to dive right in. I was pleasantly surprised that most of my professors are not only very trained in their field but also kind and caring human beings. The level of rigor in regards to the courses is challenging but doable because of the help and support offered at Baruch from all perspectives, academic and personal. Most notable is the amazing care and support we received from our advisor Sarah Wagner both at the weekly FRO sessions and individually. I also strongly believe that having an LC for our first semester at Baruch provided us with a comfort and community that we would not have received had we been placed with all new people for each of our classes. I look forward to challenging myself in the spring semester to meet new peers. I also look forward to becoming an educated, well-versed, and productive member of Baruch and our society.

Hello everyone, my name is Elizabeth and I am a dancer. I’ve been ballroom dancing since I was 6 years old. I compete nationally and internationally. I was three time Junior National Champion, and I represented the US 4 times as a junior and 2 times as an adult in England at the World Championships. I’ve also been on Dancing with the Stars (when I was 12) and America’s Got Talent (last year). I am currently placed 17th in the world in the adult category, and last year I placed 2nd at a World competition in Paris, which is very exciting for me. This blog post is mostly about dance because that is what my video pertains to. You’ll see in the video that I eat, drink, and sleep dance- and even when I’m seemingly not dancing- I’m still dancing.
But there is more to me than just my dancing. I love learning and going to school. I especially love the sciences- biology, chemistry. I’m interested in anatomy and physical therapy, as I plan to find work in that field because it closely relates to my dancing. I’m also interested in studying business management and even law. I basically want to learn about everything.
I also love my family and love spending time with them. I cook for my family all the time, to make it easier for my mom, and also to watch people enjoy my creations. I don’t particularly love to clean, but I love cleanliness and neatness so I’m also the designated housekeeper.
I did spend a lot of time creating this video, because a) I’ve never really done anything like that b) whenever I do or create something, I go all out- otherwise it’s not worth doing at all. I hope you enjoy my video!!!
