Mahmmoud Shaban Introduction

Hey! My name is Mahmmoud Shaban and I’m 19 years old. I was born and raised in Brooklyn, NY on Christopher “Notorious B.I.G.” Wallace Way. My family consists of my mother, father, and  my two siblings.  My mom was born in Jordan and my dad was born in Puerto Rico. Since both of my parents haven’t went to college they have high expectations in me getting a college degree and choosing a good profession. My grandfather is very special to me because he motivated me to apply to college. He always gives me the support I need.

This is my first semester at City Tech and I’m looking forward to learning new things and making new friends. I chose to take a year off after graduating from high school and so I started working as a security officer to learn to become more independent and to help me find my passion. I’m looking to major in architecture, I love the idea of coming up with physical structures with an amusing style of design. The reason why I choose to be in City Tech was mainly because they have this major and my high school friends also go to City Tech so thats also a plus. Some of my favorite things to do are cooking, gaming, playing football, hanging out with friends, and trying new things. I also love doing my part time job as a security officer since I get some perks out of it. When I was in high school, I was a little weak in my English classes, but I hope college English is a different experience for me, I mean so far I like it.  To be honest I am not worried about anything i’m feeling very optimistic heading into class since this is a college course.
