Hello everyone!
My name is Scott Hakimian, and I am a first-year student at Baruch College. Before college, I had attended Great Neck North High School. During my time at Great Neck North High School, I had defined my position on the academic integrity plain by shaping my academic values and morals. Just to be more specific, I am strongly invested in the idea that the motto “no excuses, only hard work” translates into success in the academic field. Additionally, I firmly believe that honesty and originality in the educational process elevate students into domains that some students struggle to enter.
As a student who has merely uncovered the very top layer of what Baruch College has to offer, I have set my expectations proportionally high. First off, while I have not indulged into the wide variety of business classes Baruch is notoriously known for, I am excited and expecting to learn tremendously from the business courses. Especially as my intended major as of right now is Real Estate, I believe the wide variety of Real Estate courses can launch me into the Real Estate field after college. Stemming away from academics and into extracurricular activities, I have very high expectations for sports and clubs. As I have a couple of friends who are on other CUNY sport teams, I cannot wait to attend soccer, volleyball, and basketball teams to see local rivals and friends square off against the Bearcats. On the other hand, I am excited to join and be active in Baruch clubs. From business clubs to sociopolitical clubs, many after school gatherings have presented and promoted their clubs during the two- and half-hour breaks Freshmen have on Tuesday and Thursdays. Lastly, one concern I have for my first semester is the three-month period to fly by. One thing I could take away by my last day of high school was four years is genuinely not a long period of time. I hope to spend every second wisely and enjoy one last “fresh start.”
