Hi my name is Gabriel Perez-Ponce. Even though people think i am old because of my appearance i am actually 18 years old. I work at a bar/lounge in Columbus Circle called Stone Rose, i am a Food runner and sometimes a busboy. When ever i have time i like to go to the gym and workout. This is my first year in college as a freshman, i am pretty nervous because i do not know what to expect! But i know this is my future so i am going to try hard an achieve my goals in life. sinceĀ i am the first one in my family to go college iĀ want to make my parents proud, and be a role model to my little sister who is 13.
I have one main goal and that is to succeed in college. In the future I see myself receiving my bachelor degree on Criminal Justice and working as a Custom + Border protection officer (homeland security) . Many people ask “so why are you in City Tech?” Well It’s my for my lack of researchĀ of every school i chose to attend. I was rejected by John Jay and City Tech was the only 4 year school that accepted me. I told myself to not attend a 2 year college(which was a big mistake) and just attend City Tech. i should of gone to Kings borough to work on my associate degree in criminal justice then go to John Jay and go for my bachelor degree. Like i always say it doesn’t matter where you start but where you end up.The picture in my avatar is me during the this summer. The background is at night in the fountain in Columbus Circle. in my Picture you can indicate that i am a happy person who just likes to relax and enjoy life especially the summer. You can also see that I’m looking straight at the camera which mean that I’m determined of looking ahead of me and move forward.
People may interpret a lot of things of my picture. that i like going out at night, that it is a nice pic, or that I am just a happy person that likes to smile a lot. from my brief description of myself above, i hope people can see how i am. just a person who is open mind and humble if you treat me nice then ill do the same. Overall i just wanted to take this opportunity to introduce myself to everyone who is a Open Lab member.
