Hello everyone, my name is Xiaoji Zou. I am originally from Southern China where I was born and immigrated to the United States at the age of 1. I then lived on the Lower East Side (Chinatown) for about 15 years until I moved the Upper West Side where I now reside. Having a strong Chinese upbringing, I not only value the juxtaposition of the chaotic lifestyle New York offers as opposed to the somewhat resilient Chinese lifestyle, but also all that New York has to offer.

This is what originally lead me to Macaulay Honors College, however not for Baruch originally. I intended to major in the Sciences and Math at City College of New York, but I decided to give Baruch a try as business had somewhat interested me as well. I hope to consider all the possible directions that I can take whether it be in the Medical field, Architecture, or Physics.
