            I chose a picture of a group of people stacking their hands in order to represent the diversity and teamwork that I’ve experienced during my time so far at Baruch. My experience has been very pleasant, thus far, and I’ve met some extremely nice people. This picture, to me, represents the two most important things that I have enjoyed about the school, and learned more about. Because the students at Baruch primarily commute, I have met people of all different ethnicities, ages, backgrounds, countries, etc. While I grew up in a pretty diverse neighborhood, Baruch truly embodies what it means to be diverse. Meeting all of these people has helped me enjoy my experience all the more. This picture also represents to me, people coming together. The students at Baruch have been very welcoming and helpful. Whenever I have had a question or issue, someone has always been more than willing to answer it or help me. In my classes, I have had the ability to work in groups, and the dynamic between my peers and I have been extremely pleasant. I have grown as a student and as an individual. Overall, my time at Baruch has been very positive, and I am truly looking forward to next semester.

My first semester of college has been a great experience so far. I learned a lot about myself and my studying skills. I understood that being successful in college depends on how seriously you take it; if you want to be at your top, you need to work for it.

I was nervous before school started, everyone told me that classes are hard and very competitive; however, my first semester was (usually) not that hard after all.

An example to one very important thing I learned during this semester is that some majors require more work than others. While my learning time out of college is limited, I figured how to divide it into the different subjects the way it fits my schedule and my requirements. This skill helped me a lot passing the midterms, which were all at the same time…

In addition to my educational skills, I had developed new friendship relationships with the people I just met. I got to talk with different students from countries all over the world, and learned about their unique traditions as well.

My goal for the spring semester is to finish as much pre-requisite courses I can; that is because I can’t wait to get into the business school and actually learn about my own major. I’m sure I will continue developing my knowledge and meet more interesting people who will influence my college years, and who knows, maybe even my life.

I feel blessed studying in NYC and look forward to what the future holds for me 🙂
