The photograph above represents on how I really feel inside and how I keep my composure. I am never bothered by anything negative or phased by situations I always remain calm and focused on the bigger matters on hand.

Hello my name Luilly Jaquez and I am currently a freshman at Baruch College. Im on my second semester and I am majoring in finance. This major really spoke to me and is one of my life goals to be financially free and  to enjoy life while doing so. I chose Baruch College due to it having one of the best business programs in New York State. My dream is to earn enough income to help me help those that I care about and also for me to enjoy on myself with experiences and pleasure. I love music as well I usually listen to rap music and artists such as J. Cole, $not, and A boogie wit da Hoodie. I tend to listen to music while I am alone and it makes me relax and feel at ease. I look at music as language where you can change your moods to how you want to feel. Mostly as well that poetry that lies in music fascinates with the word play and rhymes most artists use. I am also a huge fan of the outdoors and engaging in activities like hiking and watching nature. To me it is another to meditate and alleviate stress. I want to travel countries in the future and see all of the different landmarks around the world. Batman is my favorite cartoon superhero due to how much I relate to him on a personal level. He embodies how you can do so much while just being human and that speaks out loud to me.

 

Hello

My name is Angel Morales and  I’m a freshman at Baurch college. I’m on my second semester and I’m majoring in accounting. I was also thinking in majoring finance or economics but I felt like accounting is where a lot of money can be made and I can use the money from an accounting job to get my business going. I chose Baruch college because I always wanted to someday own my business and become financially free by the age of 30-35. I felt that Baruch college would be able to help me reach that goal since its a business school.  Baruch College was always a college I wanted to get into because it is one of the top schools for business. My dream was to own business that don’t require much work and just get that passive income so my family doesn’t have to worry much about money. I’m trying to have many business like notary, tax, a laundromat, car wash and a couple other ones. Some things about myself is that I like to try new things and like to explore with my brothers or my girl. The image above is a picture of the road after the snow storm about a couple weeks ago. My favorite thing to do is to drive around and go out with friends. .Driving just excites me and reliefs the stress from school and work. When I’m driving i like to listen to bad bunny,  Manuel Turizo,  and a couple other Hispanic artists.

Hey, I’m Aben Flores! I’m majoring in psychology so I can become a child psychologist one day. I barback/bartend on the weekends at a fine dining restaurant called ”Peak” and I love hospitality.

Music is an integral part of everyone’s lives, especially mine. I have always been fascinated by music that touches on themes of anxiety, depression, and mental illness as a whole. Pictured above is the album cover of” KIDS SEE GHOSTS” by Kid Cudi and Kanye West. The art here is the album cover itself, as well as the music. The artwork was created by Takashi Murakami. In the background is an outline of Mount Fuji as well as some bonsai trees. I interpret the artwork as finding peace, tranquility, purpose, and overcoming hardships. Throughout the album, Kanye West and Kid Cudi talk about their experiences with suicide, anxiety, and more. Kanye west reflects on his past suicide attempts and how everyone called him crazy for struggling with bipolar disorder. Cudi talks about how lonely and depressed he was after his uncle passed away. The duo aims to change the way people see mental illness, as many dismiss its very existence. I was diagnosed with major anxiety disorder growing up which caused many hardships for me. It wasn’t until I started going to therapy that I learned to cope. Albums like ”KIDS SEE GHOSTS” hold a special place for me as Kanye and Cudi spoke against the stigma. My experience with therapy has inspired me to find a career in it and that’s why I’m passionate about it.

Hello,

My name is Junior, and I am currently a freshman. This will be my second semester here at Baruch College and majoring in Marketing Management. Baruch College was also my first choice as they have a great business program and I will be able to commute every day. I was raised and born in Queens New York, but my parents were born in Honduras and Guatemala. And I visit both countries as often as possible. An interesting fact about myself is that I enjoy to watch and play soccer.

I included the image of the high school I attended, Epic Highschool North, as it made an impact on my life. I was able to meet important figures in my life and made new friendships which followed me here to Baruch. This school also allowed me to build real-life skills I had previously never imagined I would. These skills would be being able to come out of my shell and able to talk to a group of audience. I was very much an introvert before going into high school but I had a great support system in high school which allowed me to express myself more clearly and will be forever grateful.

Hello

My name is Edryan Canario, I am a Dominican American and this is my second semester as a freshman at Baruch college.  I’m currently a finance major with no plan of changing it. I feel like I am personally a very extroverted person and love meeting new people along with doing new things. I take pride in my accomplishments and really just want to become successful. That’s where this picture above comes from, I feel like it really represents me as a person and despite having obstacles for whatever reason you still my overcome them. In addition, me personally i find this image perfect because it shows the full face of adversity. Many people including myself a long time ago, viewed success and a negative thing and didn’t really take it for what it was. Now I know that success isn’t all glamorous and glitter it takes a lot of hard work and sacrifice “under the water” or hidden from everyone else’s views. Another reason why it resonates with me is because of my personal issues I’ve had in the past. When dealing with certain problems whether it be money, family, love life etc. I tend to just want to get it over with and wish that I could become successful overnight. However, I noticed that success isn’t an overnight type of thing, I have to  grind for it if I really want it. Finally, It seems simple but it artistic presence is there with the naked eye being viewed and the underwater trying to be considered hidden. If you really want it just know persistence is key.

Hello everybody.  My name is Saul Veras and I am a freshman at Baruch College. Currently, in my second semester, I am majoring in computer information systems with a sub-plan of cybersecurity. Born and raised in the Bronx, I decided to go to Baruch College due to my interest in business as well as technology. I am also dominican. I would describe myself as a fun, calm, outgoing person who isn’t afraid to try out new things and go to new places. I’m usually with whatever as I like to do different things. Moving from that, the picture I included is actually an image of the first concert I attended the last December. Main reason I included this was because I am a person who enjoys music, and this was a really amazing experience for me. This picture could describe me since the tone of the picture gives off the vibe of excitement, entertainment and enjoyment. Like I said previously, I consider myself to be an outgoing person, so enviroments like this are just fun to be around, especially with friends and it is just overall a good time to just enjoy. The specific artist of the enviroment was Playboi Carti and as you could see from the picture, there were more than thousands people attending the event. Since it was such a fun event, and my first one, I’ll definitely be attending to more concernts and events like so because I don’t want this one to be my last.

Hi, my name is Mohamed. I am a freshman in my second semester here at Baruch college. My intended major is marketing management or something along the lines of business. I was born in and grew up in Manhattan for most of my life. I have visited Egypt many times and lived there for a year when I was four years old. Both my parents are from Egypt, and it is honestly my favorite place to visit. Something in my life that feel like represents me and who I am today, is the elementary school that I attended: P.S. 158. Elementary school is the gateway to many things in your life. Obviously it is the start of your academic career. The things you learn in elementary school are things you need for college. Secondly, elementary school is the start of your social life. It is the first time for most people, that we actually interact with others outside our family, and create friendships which is a really important skill in life. During elementary school, I created bonds with people, that I still call best friends up until this day. Lastly, my favorite memories were during my time in elementary school. Memories that shape who I am today. I loved how it was a perfect mix of doing fun activities in school and also learning at the same time. It taught me how to deal with academic stress. Whenever I feel too worked up over school work, I take a break and do something that is fun for me, that way I can clear my mind and complete my work.
