Hello all I am Leila Gonzalez, and some things that I think you should all know about me is that I love sports, I like to read and I absolutely love the gym. Some goals that I would like to accomplish while in college is to simply make new friends, create a study schedule and try to up my Spanish speaking skills. Additionally, I chose City Tech because not only do they have a nursing program; importantly, it’s very close to home for me. Overall, I hope to learn new things about myself and to learn more about the school during my first year here at City Tech and hopefully learn more about you all.
Hey Leila! I LOVE to read as well. What sports do you like?
My main sport that I am involved in Softball! I’ve been playing for about 3 years now and this sport just clears my mind and makes up of half of who I am. I also like to watch football and basketball! I am a Golden State fan and a Kansas Chiefs fan as well!!
My classmates should know that I am an honest, chill, responsible young man. the main objective for me is to achieve & get into the Rad Tech. building trust among my classmates is a goal I want to acquire. connecting/network so each one has a support system. first semester will be something totally new & I’m eager to see how college will treat me & the adaptability so I can be comfortable in campus.
Hey Brian, networking in college is key! Networking will open so many doors for you. Would you be interested in joining any clubs on campus?
Hi !! My name is Nyla something my classmates should know about me is that I am a nice person and shy at first I also love cats. Some goals I have for college is that I want to stay on top of my work and be able to get into nursing and to also make friends. Why I chose city tech is because it is very affordable and I am able to get to school easily not to mention city tech also has very good programs and classes that I believe I will enjoy. Lastly I hope to learn a lot of new skills and knowledge from all my different classes and I am looking forward to it as well.
Hey Nyla, I am also shy, but don’t let that hold you back. In college, you have to put yourself out there even though it is scary. You will also learn a lot in college; especially, about yourself.
Thank you !! I’m working on it I feel like I’m getting better each school year.
Hey, I’m Ariana Soriano Cruz, I want my classmates to know that I love nature, animals, and creating new bonds/ experiences. My goals as a college student are to achieve a BSN and later work towards becoming a CRNA and possibly do Paralegal studies on the side, city tech would be a step towards my plan for the future. For my first semester I want build new connections with people and adjust to the new environment, and I hope that I’m able to navigate throughout the building without getting lost.
Hey Ariana, you have a lot of good things going for yourself in the near future. If you haven’t already, you should sign up for the campus tour to get familiar with City Tech.
My classmates should know that I’m a very shy person but I’m working on being better with public speaking and being more confident with myself. I also want my classmates to know that I’m a very kind person as well as a honest person and very responsible. I also want my classmates to know that I like to cook when I have the time to and I also like horror movies. My goals as a college student is to meet new people, have a great freshmen year and being able to learn more about my major hospitality management. I chose City Tech because I found this college great and because it had the major that I wanted. What I hope to learn in my first semester is what I will actually do in hospitality management and if there will be traveling since my major is hospitality management.
Hey Jen, my communication last semester has helped me gain confidence when communicating with people every day. What specific career do you want to pursue when you get your degree? I used to be a student in hospitality management and culinary throughout high school, and I LOVED it.

Hey Melissa, I am a homebody too lol. You, Ariana D, and Brian should start a group chat since you all are trying to get into the Rad tech program. Y’all could support each other by helping with classes, homework, studying, etc.

Hi, my name is Alicia. One thing i’d like my classmates to know is that when you may first meet me I might be quiet. But as time goes on I come out of my shell and become more talkative and I enjoy skateboarding. Some goals that i’d be moving forward to achieving is being early to class, networking with classmates and learn new skills. I chose City Tech because I appreciate all the different cultures around, As well as the liveliness within the area and for the programs here. In this first semester I would love to learn better time management and real world skills that would help me after I graduate.
Hey Alicia, when did you start skateboarding? I used to try to skateboard when I was younger, but I was too scared to continue to do it because I didn’t want to fall lol.
