ME! :)

My name is Clarissa Polanco, I am eighteen years old and I’m a freshman at Baruch for the spring semester. I do not know what I would like to major in as of right now but I’m good at math so I’m thinking about accounting. I graduated valedictorian of my class from Talent Unlimited High School, a performing arts high school in which I was a vocal major. I was really passionate about singing and still am but I’m extremely shy. I was part of the JREC basketball time for three years, from my sophomore year up until my senior year. My senior year I became the captain of the team and I went from being a bench warmer to a starter. On the team I also learned how to make a layup and how to shoot foul shots as well as form and defense. My experience on the team was amazing, I never knew I could have so much fun playing and learning a sport. I made a lot of friends including my Coach and I had a ton of fun. I was born and raised in Sherman by Dyckman and Inwood (207) surrounded by some family but I moved four years ago to Washington Heights. My parents emigrated from the Dominican Republic to the U.S. in search of the American dream so my native language is Spanish although my older brother and I were both born in New York. I love meeting new people, learning and having a good time. I’m also really looking forward to my college life at Baruch. Go Bearcats! 🙂 I’ve created a slide show presentation with images that I found, first of all that were cute and secondly that really show who I am. Well actually who I’ve become during these eighteen years. Hope you all like it! ME!
