My name is Nim Tse, and I use he/him pronouns. I was born in China but immigrated to the United States at a young age. Brooklyn has been the place that I call my home for two decades. I have always wanted to work in a health-related profession, and the reason I chose City Tech is that my mother also got her bachelor’s degree in nursing. I am currently in my last semester of the associate’s program in nursing and will hopefully continue in City Tech to pursue a bachelor’s degree in the same major. Outside school, I work as a tutor teaching college-level chemistry courses, which I enjoy. I look forward to this class as the history of the Harlem Renaissance interested me when I took U.S. history in high school. I plan to pursue reading as another hobby when I have more availability.

Below is a picture of me in my nursing uniform that I took last year. That day was my birthday, and I was wearing it for my clinical. When I am in that nursing uniform, I think of all the hard work it took me to reach where I am today. It also symbolizes my responsibilities as an advocate for patients and a potential educator for my community. Education has been a significant component of my life. With different identities as a chemistry and nursing student, it shapes me into a new future, sharing what I know based on experiences.

Looking forward to meeting all of you.

Best regards,

Nim Tse

My name is Argelia I usually go by Naomi which is my middle name. I use she/her pronouns. I was born in Brooklyn NY which is where I spent most of my life. I currently live in staten island because rent is cheaper. My major is Law and paralegal studies, the reason I chose this major is my passion for law. One of the area of law I would like to specialize in is immigration. I have immigrate parents and I know how hard it was for them to come to this country. I want to have the ability to help people in need asking for asylum or just petitioning for a relative. Some of my hobbies consist of baking, traveling, photography, shopping “ my kids and I are always in target” , random little getaways, dancing, singing “although I’m off key”, love going to the movies, reading etc. 

Below is a picture of the two most important people in my life which are my kids. They are part of the reason I decided to come back to school. They are what keeps me motivated to continue although sometimes it not easy. I know it will be all worth it at the end. Although my life didn’t take the course I imagined for it to take I am grateful to have them both. 

I look forward to getting to know everyone and I hope everyone has a great semester!

All the best, 

Argelia
