Who Do You Think You Are?

I honestly couldn’t sum up everything about who I am as a person in a couple of words.  I can be extremely spontaneous and impulsive at times.  I don’t always think things through, which can be good and bad.  I’m driven and don’t take no for an answer if it’s something that I really want.  Many of my experiences have taught me that I should appreciate life more and to brush off the petty things. My top 3 concerns for Baruch College are: my time-management, grades, and being involved in Student Life.  I’m worried that I won’t be able to balance my personal life well enough with school work.  Thus, by not being able to do so, it would probably affect my grades.  I’ve always maintained a high average through school; to not do so now would be unusual for me, especially if I didn’t even try.  I’ve also always made it an important thing to me to be involved in school.  I actually auditioned and made it into the Music and Performing Arts Guild at Baruch on the 2nd of September.  I can already tell that Baruch College is different from my high school experience in that I don’t have a guidance counselor to go to for a variety of issues that may surface, whether it be academic or personal.  I had an extremely close relationship with him since my freshman year of high school, and it only got stronger as time went by.  He’s looked out for me so many times and I honestly couldn’t thank him enough.  It’s weird coming to Baruch College and not having that person there anymore on a daily basis.  I think Baruch College has already started to change me in that I’m working on time-management.  By the end of the year I hope to have it mastered.  I also think it’ll mature me in a way I wouldn’t be able to if I weren’t in school.  College and high school are two completely different levels of education, and with more responsibility in college, I feel that I will grow more as a person.
