Who am I? I am Hans Mei, a freshman in Baruch college. I consider myself an ordinary college student. There is nothing exceptional about me. Like everyone else I have my own strengths and weaknesses that i won’t get into specifically. I can describe myself as a sort of shy, kind, respectful and somewhat helpful person.
Top Three Concerns regarding college:
My first concern would be passing all of my midterms, finals, and passing my classes. This is my main concern because I came to college to do well not to fail my classes and drop out. This is my top concern because passing classes in college is the only way i can work towards a good career.
My second concern is regarding my GPA. Its good to pass classes but what good is it to pass with C’s in all my classes. This is why my second main concern is to get an overall average of at least a B+.
My third concern regarding freshman year at Baruch College is not to try not to ever be absent and to try my best never to come in late. Of course I know that things happen occassionally so it probably won’t be possible to have perfect attendance.
I think the main difference between college and my high school is that there is more freedom in college. In college you can leave the campus to go off and eat lunch while in high school you must stay within the building. In high school you need to raise your hand to go to the restroom while in college you can just walk out of class. Another difference is that most professors know the material that they teach very well.
I believe that after my first year is over I will change for the better. Right now I have a horrible procrastination problem and I am working to resolve it. I am hoping that by the end of my freshman year at Baruch College I will change to become a more responsible person.
