I do not know who I am. Not yet, at least. But I do know who I want to be. I am a young student at Baruch who hopes to become successful in my future endeavors. Friends and family would describe me as aggressive, passionate, complex and at times eccentric. I value time and what I do with it. I love spending time with my twin sister Alana. Her and I are constantly laughing. As a freshman at Baruch I fear the workload and how I will maintain a good average. Also I am nervous about the presentations I will have to perform in front of the class. I am not yet accustomed to speaking before a large group of people. Living at the dorms in the Lower East Side challenges me to manage my time spent studying and having fun. Baruch is an entirely different experience from high school because it challenges me to think philosophically and ask questions. Also I believe I will be interacting with many other cultures which I did not experience at my small high school on Long Island. In addition, Baruch seems to be a college where most of it’s students are extremely involved in their work. Opposed to many other colleges, Baruch students are here for the sole purpose of an education. I believe that mentality will help me prosper at Baruch. Overall, I think my first year of college will help me integrate into the real world. Living in the city I am introduced to a new lifestyle. Already, I feel like I’ve aged, psychologically speaking. I control my own decisions and I’ve never felt as much of an individual as I do now. Thanks to Baruch I believe I will evolve tremendously within the first year.
