My first semester as a freshman at Baruch has been absolutely amazing thus far. I have to admit though that like most people I was extremely nervous, didn’t know what to expect and I was extremely shy. However, that all changed at orientation. I was more social and started conversations with the people that sat at my table but once we were split into groups it was like I had to start back from square one and I did. I remember clearly Frida and Shaderra from the ice breaker we did. Frida said that she loved coffee and was addicted to it and Shaderra said that she doesn’t play basketball which most people assume because of her height. Then somehow Kenny and I began talking during our lunch break which is where we met Jabari. Thinking back on it now it’s kind of funny but I’m so glad we’re all close. Rodney just appeared out of nowhere later on but he’s really cool just like Tiffany, Sebastian, Ferzanna and our entire class. I have to admit we’re a good bunch. ” class=”wp-smiley” style=”height: 1em; max-height: 1em;” /> I chose the meme above because I felt that each emotion and facial expression represents how I’ve felt at least one so far this semester. I was definitely excited to start off my new semester, meet my professors and make friends just like the figure shown in the meme. When I received the syllabus from my professors I didn’t make the face in the meme I was actually just a bit overwhelmed but during class I couldn’t stop smiling. I felt that things were going great until I took my first few exams that’s when I realized how much work and studying had to be put into each class. I went from being an A student to getting B’s and C’s on tests. This was definitely a shocker for me and it made me want to push through further and to do much better. So far so good, I can’t complain. I recently got a group project for sociology that I’m really looking forward to doing. I can assure everyone it will be great. Now I’m just stressing out over finals, looking forward for the semester to end and be on vacation already. Overall, the experience has been unforgettable. I really do love Baruch now and I also really care for my friends. We’re getting through this together and it’s just wonderful. I can’t wait for the next semesters I have left. ” class=”wp-smiley” style=”height: 1em; max-height: 1em;” />

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!
