Hi everyone my name is Sajeevan Rangeswaran and I am from Sri Lanka. My pronouns are he/him.  I have been living in the US for 12 years.  I currently live in Queens and it takes me 1 hour to come to college. But since it’s an online asynchronous class I don’t have to travel in the train for 1 hour. I am in my last semester majoring in computer engineering. Hopefully, I pass all the classes and graduate in December.  In my free time, I like to play video games and if it is nice outside I also play cricket outside with my brother and friends.  Cricket is my favorite sport and I played it in high school.

This is the picture of the trophy that was given to me by my cricket coach in my senior year for being the best player in the team. This trophy means a lot to me, since it was my first trophy. I practiced very hard to become the best player and I was happy my practice paid off. I was very happy on the day, since my team had other player who was good. I was so happy that coach selected me. Even though we lost in the final in my senior year this trophy made me feel better.

Hello everyone, I’m Jessica, but I prefer Jessi. My pronouns are She/Her. When I was 18, I moved to New York City from North Carolina. Although it was scary to be here alone I do not regret making this decision at this young age. I have learned so much and experienced many cultures in NYC that are rare in other cities in the U.S. which have sparked my love for discovering and traveling to new countries. I live in Queens and love living here at the moment. I originally wanted to be a dental hygienist. I have been in the dental field for about 8 years as a dental assistant, but the pandemic made me realize that being in the health field was not what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. I switched my major for a bachelor’s in Emerging Media Technology in Computation Concentration. Taking classes in my major gives me an opportunity to learn something new every day. It feels like I’ve been in school forever, but I’m hoping to graduate next year. Some of my hobbies include reading, working out, swimming, and playing with my two dogs. I absolutely enjoy traveling the world. In my travels, I’ve been to 10 countries, and Turks and Caicos Island is one of my favorites. Travel and underwater diving are my passions. I’m a certified scuba diver and hope to keep doing both.

This picture shows my two beautiful Boston Terriers. The male’s name is Zero and the female’s name is Una. Zero is 7 years old and still acts like a puppy. He is super special to me. I got him during the time my grandmother passed and he has been comforting me ever since. Una is a year old and full of energy. I decided to get Una to give Zero some company because it would break my heart every time I had to leave him home alone. Having both of them has been two of the best decisions I’ve made in my life. Thanks for reading my introduction, and I hope everyone has a great semester.
