My name is Odalis Cruz and my pronouns are she/her. I’m from Brooklyn and my major is business in technology of fashion and I’m a sophomore. I enjoy spending time with my family and, I love sitting outside my house and enjoying nature and the weather. Some media topics that interest me are podcasts and videos, and learning about current events environmental issues, and immigration. I feel good about it being my second year in college the first year I was a nervous wreck, but now that I know how everything works I feel more confident.

The picture below I took this summer while I was in Mexico. Every summer I go over there and visit my family there and I really enjoy my time there and I miss it. I love it over there it is so much different than over here and that is the main thing I look forward to each summer.

This is my last semester at City Tech, and I have relatively enjoyed my time here. In my free time, I like to read, paint, and do DIY projects around the house.

Below is a picture of a hanging wooden butterfly I painted over the summer. It is one of my favorite craft paintings I have done this year. It symbolizes new beginnings and hope.  Each color of the butterfly corresponds with the overall message of the butterfly.  Green represents health, healing, wellbeing, and freshness. Blue represents peace. Yellow represents happiness, creativity, and warmth. White represents spiritual transformation, good luck, and prosperity.

Hello everyone my name is Efaz Kareeb. I am currently a junior at City Tech and I am majoring in Communication Design. I was born in NYC but I am from Bangladesh. My favorite color is blue. I like hanging out with my friends and I like drinking boba and listening to music and playing basketball. and traveling. College is becoming more and more stressful but it will become more harder and more difficult.

One meaningful thing is basketball because my friend taught me how to play basketball when I was in middle school he trained and ever since I have loved playing basketball and I used to play basketball with my friends every day after school also in the summertime too and also basketball helps to make new friends on the court and to connect with people and I love playing sports and when i play basketball I get excited and when I am stress I usually shot around with ball it brings my stress down and whenever I am mad it usually calms me down.
