Hey everyone, my name is Deshira! I’m currently a Nursing major here at City tech. The pronouns that I go by are her/she.  I come from a traditional Albanian household. I came to America when I was three years old, and been living in Brooklyn practically my whole life. On my free time, I like going to the gym, watching movies, spending time with family and friends, shopping etc.  I really enjoy going to school in  person because I like interacting with people, and the overall experience of being in school. Ever since I was younger, I preferred being taught in person rather than online so once the pandemic hit, it was very difficult for me to adapt to the new learning strategies. Ive never really been good with technology either which made my online learning experience worse. After all this time, I feel like I finally got used to this new system, but I can’t wait to go back to school in person.

The most important and meaningful thing to me is my mom. This picture is not a picture of me and my mom, but it demonstrates an image of a mother and her daughter holding hands. Im really grateful for my mom and the relationship we share. She is my biggest supporter and pushes me to move forward in life and succeed. Not only is she a mother to me, but a best friend, and I am very thankful to have her in my life.

My name is Mehreen Khanom, I go by she/her/hers. I am South Asian. I was born in Bangladesh and raised in the Bronx. I am a sophomore, and my major is business and technology of fashion. The reason why I am in college is because of my parents and to pursue a good career in the future that will keep me stable in life. My hobby is painting. I like to paint in my free time and whenever I am bored to kill time or to get my mind off life. This semester I am trying to focus on college and don’t want to get distracted. I am scared about this semester because I am not sure how this semester will end but I hope it ends well.

I am a mother of six cats. Growing up I have always been a cat person, but my parents never allowed cats in the house until my sophomore year of high school. Last year I brought a stray cat home and four months later she gave birth to three beautiful babies. They are currently five months old. Their names are Boogie, Sushi, and Mowgli. Taking care of them and watching them come into this world was an eye-opener. I can’t go a week without seeing them, that’s how attached I am. I feel like without them the house will feel empty. Sometimes when I am upset, spending time and being around them makes me feel a lot better. They make my life ten times better.
