Hello, my name is Matthew Rivera. I was born in Brooklyn and I am part Mexican/Ecuadorian. I now reside in queens where it’s fairly nice but traveling is a pain. Right now I am majoring in computer systems but my dream is to start my own restaurant or open a clothing brand. I can only speak a little bit of Spanish even though I was born in a Hispanic household, ironic. To be honest, I don’t even know why I’m in college for, except as a backup plan. College life so far has been an underwhelming experience but hopefully only for these few semesters.im partly into mycology(study of mushroom) and gardening. During the summers me and my family start growing our own vegetables,fruits,herbs, and flowers since my mother always wanted a garden and we finally after many years can have that.

My purpose for choosing this example was i believed the writer put a lot of power into that quote.

The daily news article” in defense of the classroom” tells the influential experience a classroom can have on its students and professors. The article also tells how being together in a room provides a support system for the students. They also describe an emotional/mental effect that some people may feel due to this online learning. They include also telling how online classes are ineffective.

I completely agree, a classroom has the power to help students grow together than any video call
