Intro to Jonathan C.

I guess to explain who i am i would need to look back a few years ago. Academically, when someone asks me what describes you and how do you describe the reasons for your descriptions, i ultimately answer with the idea that ones past molds their future. In my case i was taught to grow up really fast at a young age. i have two older siblings who both have children. My First nephew was born when i was only six years old. i guess he’s the spark to my strengths and weaknesses as a student. I learned a lot of the basics on parenting at an age where watching Power Rangers and Pokemon were my main priority. what average adult parents lode to do like, changing diapers, burping, feeding, carrying and caring for a baby, I seemed to want to be apart of my little nephews annoying world. As he and I grew up together, everyone noticed that he would start to mimic me and copy every tiny thing i would do. at first it was funny, but as time went on it got really annoying. i remember at one point my mother was joking around saying that my baby nephew would turn out to be exactly like me because of how he did almost everything liked me. for a young kid to process this information of being responsible of a smaller child was a lot of pressure. As we got older my family made sure i kept a good image for the new baby. I had the unintentional pressure of being a role model for this little child that looked at me as if i were a action hero in a cartoon. I had to grow up…quick. Now as a college student i can honestly say that if my nephew wasn’t born at that time i would have not done as well in school as i should have. he is the reason for having the idea of school being the number one priority screwed into my brain. Telling him what to do and giving him advise in school helped me gain a lot of leadership skills. I tend to step up when my other group members are shy or nervous before a presentation. like any other person i like things my own way and being able to step up is a good skill to have. Im not saying that i dont get nervous; my heart starts pounding immensely, i can hear the vein in my head pulsing and i sometimes turn red. I always finish anything i ever do, if i fail or if i succeed i need to finish it. i hate having to ask myself “What if?” Like every successful college student i procrastinate to the fullest. i wouldn’t characterize this a negative aspect, because i personally work better under pressure. i tend to focus more on my work when i know the due date is creeping up fast. overall from reading this over this goes to show that im a typical nerd at Baruch that just wants to succeed. I am not a book worm, i don’t read for fun or anything. i do what needs to get done and then spend the rest of my time letting lose, relaxing and having fun.
