Magdalene Polley

Hi guys!

My name is Magdalene Polley, a freshman at City Tech. My preferred pronouns are she/her. I was born in Ghana, moved to the United states at the age of 5 so I was basically raised in Brooklyn. On my free time I enjoy making and styling wigs which I started at a young age, thanks to my mother and YouTube. In college my major is undecided but I am thinking about majoring in Nursing. Before I began college I told myself to always have a positive attitude even if the work gets difficult and never to allow myself to get distracted for too long since my classes are online classes.

Something that’s meaningful to me is my homeland Ghana because I’m excited to see and learn about where I stayed at and what school I attended while I was there. I also never got to meet my little brother and sister in person. I’ve met my mother but I don’t really remember her because as a kid you don’t remember that much. In December I’ll be able to meet all of them in person which I am kind of nervous and excited about. It will be my first time going back ever since I moved to the United States.
