My name is Timmy Wu and I transferred from Brooklyn College 2 years ago. I am hoping to be accepted into the Business Writing journalism major next semester. After failing to get into the Zicklin school of business, I found a different interest in the school of Weissman. Although this is the first journalism class that I have ever taken, I’ve always enjoyed writing. I’ve taken many business courses in high school and the economic courses here at Baruch. I feel like this class will help bring two interest that I have together and allow me to succeed in a class that I’ll enjoy. I’m not really sure what the future has in store for me and that does makes me a little nervous but I know I have a lot of support in friends and family. My dream is to have my own business one day where I can be my own boss. I don’t know what kind of business yet but that whole concept of being my own boss and owning something big such as a business seems to put a smile on my face.

I’m really into sports and can’t wait for the football and basketball season to start. It’s gonna be hard to watch the NFL since I’m a jets fan and come on, let’s face it. We’re going to suck this year. But the game of football is entertaining enough that I can enjoy it even if my team is losing. As for the NBA, I’m pretty disappointed that the Knicks haven’t made any big moves this summer but they’re still my number one team. Since I am from Brooklyn, I also do cheer for the Brooklyn Nets but it’s going to take me a little longer to like the new players added to the team this year since I hated them when they were on the Celtics.

The other major part of my life is strong faith to Jesus. I’ve been involved with my church in Brooklyn, The First Evangelical Free Church for almost 12 years! Ever since I was 10, fooling around in Sunday school and thinking that children’s songs and hand movements they made us do was so stupid. Today I help lead kids in Sunday school to sing those songs and perform those hand motions. I think my involvement in the church has really helped me mature into a leader with many skills that I’ll need for the future. My faith has also helped me in learning how to live a Christian life in a family where money is the most important and a world where instant gratification is constantly number one. I’ve made many friends at this church who I consider family.
