To begin my name is Gary Fox-Nelson, i am a junior named after my father with my mothers maiden name. I like to be active whether it be playing pick up games of basketball football or soccer, or working out. Being fashionable is very important to me also because not only is it an outlet to express who i am as a person, it also gives a good impression. But i wasn’t like who i am today. Before I came to Baruch i had a whole heap of different issues that i had to tackle.
Going into high school i was a short little nerd with glasses. I had a olive green and black jacket with a matching book bag so for some time my nickname was turtle. I was never very social, and i always wanted to be apart of the “cool” people when i was younger, and eventually that started messing with my grades cause then i started cutting class and then school all together. I skipped school for a year and a half before I was forced to transfer to a smaller school. At the time i always felt i was gonna graduate high school, but i never wanted to do the work and i felt cool hanging out with my friends at the time no matter what anybody said. But eventually i grew tired of the same cutting school scenery and decided to go back to school and go on with my life. From 2010 until the summer of 2012 I worked as hard as i could to finish high school and when i finished i felt as if i accomplished a great feat, but i still had the urge to go on.
Which brings me to why I am at Baruch now and why many students attend Baruch college. I always wanted to further my education to become a success human being in this society, and present a easier life for my future children.
In my ideal future i would hope to be a super – intern and succeed with a great company or maybe even my own company or brand. I’m honestly not focusing on it 24-7 but at the same time i have been constantly wondering what to do and how to get there, and this Freshman Orientation class is helping out a lot in creating a path for me to get there. I might get a challenge by getting myself up in the morning, getting myself to do my assignments before due dates and stuff like that but if i could get myself into some good habits i believe that nobody can stop me.
Well this is me currently, enjoying my college life with my new friends and experiences. And i really love my favorite class of my freshman year, Freshman Orientation and after i’ve been in another freshman orientation class i believe that my Freshman Orientation class is the best because of our great teachers Jenny and Joanna. , thank you, you guys are F****in awesome
