Hello! My name is Jazmyn, and I’m like many of you-students at City Tech. I’m currently aiming for a degree in Computer Systems, and this is the one of many classes I need for it.
My family and I hail from a variety of different countries and their cultures, like Great Britain, India, Grenada, (and even Germany, for some reason I have yet to discover)…however, we are mostly Trinidadian!
I like to consider myself a very hyperactive person, especially in terms of my hobbies and the occasional hyper-fixation or too, when it happens. Seeing myself as more inclined to the arts in life, (Whether that be videogames, music, anime/animations, or drawing), I generally love being creative and putting my own personal touch on things. If I’m going to be specific to this course, one of my favorite activities when it comes to writing, is to just take a random scenario and/or character(s), and simply elaborate from there! Often, I imagine myself creating various medias that way, like TV shows, mini-books, games, etc.
Another one of my hobbies is photography! While I may not be a professional at it (especially with my only equipment being my phone and the occasional tri-pod), I love capturing “aesthetic” sights around me. This is especially true when it comes to animals and nature. It also helps, seeing as staring with my own eyes will only do so much for my memory. One day, I hope I can compile at least most of my pictures into a display book and look back at it when I grow older and have made even more important decisions in life. Just recently over the summer, my mother, brother, and I took a trip to Florida’s “Discovery Cove“, and while I unfortunately didn’t see every exhibit they had to offer, I did find myself snapping quite a few pictures of animals that impressed me the most! I even had a chance to float with and teach tricks to some dolphins!
To conclude, I do consider myself, like anyone else, a very complex person, whether that stems from my sporadic music tastes to my favorite color of the year! I hope this class does nothing but enhance my skills and further solidify my love for media and literature.

I can see that with your artistic talents you are going to enjoy our third assignment, The Genre Project. Here you will have the opportunity to create in a variety of genres.

This was a great introduction. I am also of caribbean descent. I’m from the Dominican Republic .I really enjoyed the photography, especially the colorful Macaws. Your creative drive is very inspiring. It is great that you like to create certain types of media I love tv shows and video games. It would be great to know some of your favorite tv shows and games you have made.
Hi Jazmyn, So far I’ve been getting more used to a bigger school campus and multibuilding classes, I like playing warframe. Your graduation cap is pretty cool mine was the One piece straw hat jolly roger.
