  1. Brianna Santiago

    Hi good morning, my name is Brianna Santiago I’m 18 years of age,6 months pregnant I’m currently going for only 2 years in college . The major I choose is Heath science my plan is to transfer after the two years or stay .If I stay I plan on going for radiology for my bachelors.My dream career is to be an ultrasound technician or radiologist. My pronouns are (she/her) , some of my hobbies are going to the gym , listening to music ( I’m so into music that I have to have headphones if I loose it I right away buy a new pair . Music to me is like therapy it helps me focus, relax and motivates me to do things .On my spare time I like to go to the beach or pools .
    Math has never been my favorite subject because it was always difficult to understand. One of the reasons why is whenever I would get stuck and ask a question it made me feel dumb so I just wouldn’t ask for help .Sometimes I’m more of a visual learning ,the teacher I had in high school would just rush thru things .Every day was a new subject, so if I was late or missed a day because I was sick I would be behind. This is why I never really liked math I felt like it’s not what I’m the strongest in .

    Hello I am Pusfita Das. My major is Nursing. I choose this major because my parents they told me to take it also I like the nursing major. I can see how nurses helps patients and take care of them and provide them into good health. I was inspired by them and then I choose the nursing major. Because I also like to help people. In my spare time I like to read classic book also like to watch some documentary and drama in different website.

    Math wasn’t my fav subject tbh. because it was so hard to understand also some part in math I don’t know how to do it in proper way. I know teacher helps me to understand the math in easy way but sometime I understand and sometime I don’t. even though some of hard math are so hard to do that almost gives me headache.But I will try my best to pass in this semester.
