For me there isn’t much difference between my experience in college from high school. Waking up at 7am to make sure that I make it on time to class in high school, and it’s the same in college. However I barely have time for myself in college due to the level of difficulties in class and homeworks. I remember my dad dropping me off to school every morning before he went to work, but now I have more freedom. I take the train on my way to and back from college.

In school I only had friends from my country, but now I am friends with people from different countries and there is more diversity.  This showed me that I can get along with other people besides my country very well, and I look forward to having classes with them next semester too. College is a new beginning and I want to start a new life here at Baruch and build a successful future in life.
