Project #1

I am currently in my first semester at City Tech. My name is Malik and my username is techpreneur. I choose the name because it goes well with my role as a student. I have interest in the manufacturing that comes with a Construction Management and Civil Engineering Technology degree and having my own engineering firm one-day. Being a construction site manager was one of my job choices because management at a construction site is an important role in the process and description.

As an elementary school kid they asked what would you like to be for a job description and FDNY, NYPD or a Doctor was not my focus because being a cop or fireman is risky and being a Doctor requires a lot of study time and years in school. So I considered other options that come with good pay but not as much time in school. Those jobs sometimes require methods of physical, drawing skill and math work. Drawings with many details describing buildings and private homes were good study tools but appearances have changed when I thoroughly did more observing. In depth I’m attracted to the arches, siding, roofing, and other textual differences that complete the design of the build. In NYC there is a constant operation of construction in progress. All over the boroughs and states everyday there is a construction site being worked on. With many engineers and architects out in this field of work, it is hard to claim a steady position.

After attending Holy Cross HS the responsibilities of being a man have been more vivid coming out of high school at 18 years old and its best to start at a young age to become a more experienced manager and worker in general. School is boring to me when nothing of my interest is involved but attending city tech, where my focus is framed towards my Construction technology major I have become tuned in with the schoolwork and institution itself. This is because I realized my schools principles and that in the field following my years of college; the effort I put in is what I get back in return. In five to ten years I see myself in a construction hard hat at 7am in the morning directing the team to their day stations. With the schedule in my hand along with the floor plan for the project. I hope to have finished my years at city tech with at least my bachelor’s degree and background knowledge of a construction manager.

Bob the builder was a show that I was introduced to at a young age. It was the concept of science, technology, engineering, and solving problems and getting things completed with a positive attitude. It shaped my personality for todays tasks in living. Accomplishing work with others is only possible when you can cooperate and be respectful to each other’s ideas and to use constructive criticism. It is a trait an individual has such as cooperation and discipline. Just like Bob in the avatar picture, I’m all ears and an unselfish listener. I do my best with what I have provided in front of me and with what I have access to.

The yellow hard hat represents the adversity that comes with the occupation out on the field sites to protect the head from injury due to falling objects, impact with other objects, debris, and weather conditions. Safety is very important at all times, so it is key to be observant. In the show Bob was a middle-aged man with construction overalls and wok boats that covered his full body, and his hands are full with tools for work but there is still a positive approach because of the smile on his face. Remaining enthusiastic during labor and showing up well prepared for work is a respectable and noticeable factor. Some traits are not suitable for all engineers or other employees on the work site but they all need teamwork to accomplish the construction in progress.

Welcome to my page ! I’m Akeira Ferguson and I’m from Queens. My family descent is Jamaican all around. My mom and dad are both from there but I was born here, in NY. My mom is from Clarendon, Jamaica and my dad is from Kingston, Jamaica. My interest are reading, photography, watching drama shows and cosmetics. I’m attending City Tech to achieve my associates and baccalaureate degree in Radiologic Technology and Medical Imaging. I chose that field because I’ve always been curious about it but it pays great. Another great advantage about this field is that the job is less likely to disappear or be dropped years from now. Not many like this field or know the benefits of the job so I found that to be interesting. Some of the benefits are that I’m able to save lives and help others, bring new ideas to others and get paid to do it, and not many hours at work so I can have time for family and friends. When I chose this field/major, I kept in mind my phobia of blood. I really don’t like the blood, cuts or scars from others and the same goes for myself. I really get scared and upset once I see that. I get completely turned off when people talk about things like that to me or around me. I’ve been told that this field is quite competitive so that is another motivation for me, throughout my years in college. Although I am determined to be a Radiologist, I have a backup plan to be study dental hygiene because it is a  much simpler job and it is not far from Radiology.

I cannot imagine where I’d be in five to ten years because I can’t imagine where I’d be a year from now. All I can say is that I know I’ll be in school still because I have one main goal for myself. That goal is to gain a career in Radiology but I want to gain my independence while I’m doing it. I want to be able to at least driving occasionally if I can’t own my own car. I don’t really want to live with my mom anymore so I have hopes to get my own apartment. Along with that, my goals for college is to carry out a 3.0 or 4.0 GPA, do very well on my assignments and maintain my attendance.This is a challenge for me because trying to transition from high school to college is going to be hard but I hope to gain academic support from my classmates and trusted professors. I can’t wait to see all of your writing and views, as you will mine.

I didn’t chose an avatar at first because I could not find one good enough in my gallery and I felt that it was best if I stayed unidentified. I’m still finding myself and trying to understand myself so I thought I wouldn’t have an avatar for a while. This represents me because I am the same as all of you but different at the same time. Some may chose a avatar that they like and find eye catching and some may not but we all have our reasons for what we chose to put to advertise our accounts and our work. Those of whom who may not have had an idea at first for an avatar like me may not have had the same thought of not caring or indecisiveness. One thing we do have in common is that we all have a message to convey and what better way to get it across than through our writing.

I went back afterwards and added a more recent picture because I want people to put a face with the name or else I’d be that anonymous student with great ideas or posts. That may even allow me to become one of the “forgotten”. This means: a person or a group of students, that students tend to see but don’t really hear them. For example, in a group chat a student without a picture and username that is quite unfamiliar (to most), may be acknowledged for their ideas but everyone will pose the question of, “ Who is that ?”. Eventually they’ll stop asking and move on without them. I much rather not be that student so an avatar may help me gain some supporters in the class. I like the picture that I later on added because it shows me in a happier place and that is something you don’t always see. I typically like to keep to myself and/or my closest friends.

Images are viewed differently based on the audience and their perception. This occurs often times on social sites because everyone has a different perception of things compared to the next person. An example would be of someone viewing my avatar might see it differently than I intended for them to see it. One misconception can be that my photo isn’t fit for the purpose of the class. Typically you’d put a more noticeable photo without filter and it looks professional. My photo was more about what I like and how I wanted others to see me.

Hi my name is Herson Mark Garcia and i’m currently a freshman at new york city college of technology. I graduated from flushing high school i wasn’t really the best student in high school i didn’t take school seriously i thought it was all a complete waste of time they weren’t teaching us things that would benefit us or we would need later on in life and they kept us there for an unnecessary amount of hours. I used to play football during my sophomore year and my freshman year i loved playing football but my injuries kept me off the field and after my sophomore year i decided to walk away which is something i still regret till this day. I am a very creative,imaginative person and i happen to space out a lot and get stuck in my own world i’m super friendly often told i’m charming i never take things seriously i believe that life too short to be taken seriously so enjoy every second and live to the fullest and make every situation a fun one even the bad ones and make as many laughable moments.

I love traveling with my friends going on adventures and taking pictures and watching sunsets and always being outside and i love superheros my favorite superhero is spider-man I love that guy and all of the movies i’m kinda a nerd when it comes to comics and superheros .When i was accepted by city tech i was shocked surprised i got in cause a kid with my grades yeahh……. But i was grateful to get accepted and i decided city tech is where i wanted to attend. And i made a promise to myself that college i would try my fullest and my hardest which is something i kept so far. Originally i wasn’t suppose to attend college i was gonna enlist in the navy with my uncle who is  currently in the navy my mind was set on that for nearly a year until i realized i don’t wanna have a job where everyday my loved ones and my family and myself if imma be alive the next day or if it’s my last so i changed my mind and applied for colleges.

My goals for college is to get my associates degree in hospitality management and then switching to the institution of culinary education and getting a degree in culinary arts. I also plan staying on track on with all my homework classwork project and scoring high grades on my exams and finals and getting Bs and As as my final grade and managing to keep my job at starbucks and stay in school.

I found my interest in culinary my junior year i kept watching these cooking videos and i would try to recreate these dishes but adding a little bit of my own touch i also start creating and mixing drinks that i think would match up and go good together one drink i made once was strawberry syrup with red bull and ginger ale that drink was awesome i also love meeting people and talking and making new friends i plan on moving to hawaii once again once i finish with all my college work.

I chose this picture as my avatar picture because it’s one of the only pictures which u will see my face clearly and you can see my hair because i’m usually am wearing a hat in my picture or my face isn’t clearly visible or noticeable or im facing away from the camera or i’m just staring into space or staring into the background. The current hair color i have isn’t my hair color by the way. I can say my profile picture represents me as a guy who loves wearing hats and i’m a serious guy which i’m not and i’m a self conceited guy cause i’m trying to show off my jawline which i sorta am.

My profile doesn’t say much about me only a few details and what i’m majoring in and what i want to achieve in college but then again i don’t expect my profile to have every detail and information about me..
