I have not written anything in a very long time so bare with me in my writing form of introducing myself. So, here we go I will try not to  make it too bland and boring.
I am a life long New Yorker and I live in the Bronx. My pronouns are she/her. My interest are fitness and just enjoy the outdoors when the weather is pleasant. When, I do have the time I do go on walks at the park or go be a tourist in your own city sometimes is fun. I have found many cool cruises that go on the rivers that can be calming or just a night out. Sports fan as well, teams are Knicks, Giants and of course Yankees!

I also nerd out with computers, they are so interesting to me. They way they communicate, work or interact with us humans. But, that probably all started when my dad showed me how to work on cars. It was something about wanting to know what parts work together or made everything work better. Okay, I being a total nerd right now.

This is a picture of one my outings in the Bronx on the High Bridge Line. On a hot summer day the breeze is always great, but it’s to show that there is a lot to do in the Bronx, not just the Zoo or Yankee games. I think people don’t think about the Bronx like that… that’s why the people who live here are very defensive and proud to be from and live I in “The Bronx”.

My name is Tiffany Norwood, I’m from Queens born and raised. I also moved to Alabama when I was younger but I moved back to New York when I was 6 or 7 years old. My pronouns are she or her. My major is nursing, at first I wanted to go into psychology then I realized that it wasn’t something I wanted to do for the rest of my life but helping people get better was. Some of my hobbies are sleeping, taking walks while listening to music or doing yoga. The way i felt about beginning college was happy and nervous because it was a new environment from high school and I didn’t know people so I had to start over making friends, which was nerve-racking since I’m shy and usually don’t talk to people first. College was something I always wanted after high school and I’m glad I made the decision to go.

   This is my cat named Tiger. He’s meaningful to me because my grandma gave me him when I was 8 years old. As you can tell from the age difference from then and now, he is a very old cat. I say he’s meaningful to me because we are always with each other when I’m home. He sleeps with me and likes when I rub his head and the side of his face. I think of him as my emotional pet even though he doesn’t have training for it. Yes, my family is meaningful to me but it’s something about Tiger that makes him even more meaningful.

My name is Norman Williams he/him, I am currently pursuing my Bachelor of Technology, with a focus on Cyber Security and Networking. This is certainly an exciting time for me, as this has been a lifelong dream of mine to finally accomplish this goal. This degree is more of a personal accomplishment than a career move. This is not to say, it would not be helpful, I have been heavily involved in the world of Technology for the last twenty-five years of my life and this is just a natural progression in that direction for me at this stage of my career.  Many people may ask the question why it took me this long to accomplish this goal. The honest answer is that life is not always straightforward. It was also very important for me to provide for my family. I am the proud father of four beautiful children, two of which have already completed college and are well-advanced in their careers in the medical field. My third youngest has followed in my footsteps and is currently pursuing her degree in Computer Science at Saint John’s University. Not to be lengthy, but the sacrifices I have made for my children were well worth it in my book.  One of my favorite pass times has to do with motorcycles, I have been involved with them for over forty years.

Pictured above is a Ducati Street Fighter V4 SP. As mentioned previously, my love for Motorcycles goes back some forty years. This particular model is at the higher end of the current sport bike offerings in terms of performance, handling, and technological advancements.  It is also one of the most sought-after motorcycles today, as this is one of Audi’s first production models since the acquisition of Ducati. Audi is world-renowned to be the manufacturer of some of the finest high-performance vehicles today. One little-known fact by many is that they are also manufacturers of Lamborghini sports cars. This motorcycle is definitely on my radar as my next purchase.
