ENGLISH 1101 OL40 with Prof. S.

Introduction

Hello everyone! My name is Yakub Buczkowski and I am a freshman at City Tech. This is now my 2nd semester in this school, and it’s as stressful as ever. Online learning, especially for a first-time college attendee, can be extremely stressful and challenging at times. The main reason being, of course, is that I don’t know many people. It is hard to figure stuff out on your own, especially college-level material. I am going for a construction management major because I have been working in construction for the past few years and it really is an extremely rewarding trade. Not only does it put food on the table, but it is a trade that will never die out. People will always have a need for carpenters, plumbers, electricians, etc. Below is a picture of my car.  The only reason why I decided to use it as my picture, is because cars have always been a huge part of my life. I still remember the day that my dad brought a 2006 E55 AMG back home, and since that day, I have been hooked on Euro cars. This is my 2003 E46 M3, which I have been building since the middle of summer. Lots of work has been done to it, not only looks but the majority of it being performance-oriented, All of which I have somehow managed to do myself.

 


Intro

Hesitant

I have already experienced an English writing class in my fall semester and I was struggling to the point that I decided it was best for me to drop the class so I didn’t ruin my GPA. Being in the comfort of my home has made being in school extremely complicated for me. Even though I finished the rest of my senior year on zoom calls having to start a new journey in my life in a way that nobody else is familiar with is harder than I thought. I have always been a hands on student so having to learn new things on zoom has made it harder for me to pay attention and even to retain information. I feel like I’m  wasting money sometimes because I don’t feel like I’m getting the proper experience and gaining the knowledge that I would be getting if I was on campus. When it comes to being in this writing class I’m hesitant that I will be having the same bad experience that I came across in the fall. It happens to be that writing is my biggest weakness when it come to academics. I will say that after having our first class together I gain a little more confidence because of the great energy that the class had towards one another when all starting participating.

For my picture that means a lot to me I decided to pick a picture of my twin brother Justin and I. I picked this picture because I’ve made a lot of my decisions in life because of him and I’m glad that I was able to have such a loving brother like him. I would do anything for him if that meant that he would reach all his goals and become successful. I going to use him as my motivation to get through this course and even through college so that I make him proud.

Intro

Hello my name is Neidy. This is my first year in college, I’m honestly really excited but at the same time I’m really scared. I’m excited for the start of this new chapter in my life I hope I get to meet new people and make new friend despite of this whole situation with the corona virus. I know it won’t be easy, they’ll be days where I’ll feel like giving up and I will become frustrated but I promise to try my best and not give up no matter what. Ever since I was younger I’ve dealt with anxiety and sometimes it gets the best of me especially with this new learning method, it’s not easy for me to turn my camera but I understand that I must learn to get out of my comfort zone and this year this has been one of my goals. There’s many ways that I’ve learned to cope with anxiety one of them have been through soccer I love playing soccer but ever since corona virus happened I haven’t had a chance to go back to playing, I really miss playing but i do understand that soccer requires a lot of physical contact and I don’t want to put my family of risk so I prefer staying home. However I do go running in the mornings when I can but of course always wearing my mask.
