Introducing Katie Salas

Hi! I am originally from California. I have been in NYC for 10 years. I had planned on going back to school for nursing but after a successful math class last semester I’ve changed my major to computers.

I enjoy reading, museums, boat rides, and movies.

 

Introducing Eman Ahmad

This is my first year at City Tech, I didn’t choose a major yet but will probably choose Nursing next semester. I have problems socializing and am unapproachable so don’t take it as me hating you because I don’t even know who you are.

Introducing Jared Williams

Hello everyone, my name is Jared Williams. This is the start of my third year of college, but my second semester at city tech. Last semester I declared computer systems technology as my major. I decided majored in CST because I grew up surrounded by computers. I hope to achieve high grades in this class,  and am very motivated to apply myself, as this is the last math course I will need toward my major.

The One and Only – Daniele D’Ambrosio

Hi, my name is Daniele Raffaele Ignazio D’Ambrosio.

I am currently at the start of my journey to (hopefully) complete a Computer System Major – and I hope that, through my journey, I am able to find out what I want to do with my life and what career options that I want to apply for once I graduate.

My hobbies are Reading, Writing, Drawing, playing Video Games, and watching television/movies/et cetera. These things are my hobbies because I love fiction, I love going through the worlds and imaginations of others and creating my own – to me, it is simply divine.

Introducing Alejandro Xie

My name is Alejandro Xie and I am in the CST major. This is my second semester here. I became interested in my major due to taking drafting and electronics courses while I was in high school. My favorite book genre is Sci-Fi / Fantasy, and my favorite series is GONE, by Michael Grant. Also, Harry Potter is still a childhood series I re-read from time to time. I hope to achieve a high grade in this class and apply these math skills in the future.

Jeffrey rivera

Recently, I came back to New York City after spending some pleasant vacations at  the beautiful island of “Puerto Rico”. I was born 19 years ago in the previously stated country but I moved officially to N.Y.C a few years after. I am majoring in computer systems because I’ve always wanted to become an app developer. I am not a fan of math but i find it very useful in my day to day life. I will not be required to take anymore math courses, thus this will be the last math course it’ll be attending for the rest of my college career.

Introducing Alejandro Paez

I am Alejandro Paez and I am attending City Tech to major in Computer Engineer Technology. I knew I wanted to be in the Computer Engineering field when I was young, because I would take apart a bunch of things and figure out what each component does . It was nothing big I would only take apart calculators and such. While I was in high school I took the English regents three times, getting a low score the first two times. Getting those low scores pushed me to try more on the third time and I surprised my self by getting a 93 on the test, which I’m proud of. Also a few of my hobbies are skating or playing basketball with my friends. Overall I think of myself as a very chill guy.
