Hey guys my name is Greys . Just wanted to take some time to introduce myself , first off i’m not good at writing ,doesn’t mean I don’t like to write. I know that sounds stupid ,but oh well. Im a very shy person and I guess thats one of my weaknesses I have to work on because how i’m gonna get through life without having a voice in the world. I plan to learn techniques in this class and this school year at city tech that soon will become tools I use in the future that can help me succeed . My goal is to become a psychologist and to be able to work with patients in hospitals, its what I look forward to doing after college, and of course building up my career .

What does happiness mean to me ?

Hmmm … being comfortable in your own skin and being who you truly are. I think being happy isn’t just about feeling it but being it ,and yes theres a difference.  the way I see it is feeling it just means your feeling happy for a short period of time , i mean what happens when the feeling is gone ? But being happy is living life relaxed and stress free . Yes everyone has stress every now and then but being happy can help you move away from that stress and concentrate on being healthy and being in a chilled state of mind. Again I hope this makes sense like I said i’m not good at writing so sometimes my words don’t come out the same way as I sound in my own mind…. =) So thats me hope I didn’t bore whoever is reading this

Hello everyone! My name is Brandon Richardson. I will be 19 on September 15th. I was born in Brooklyn, NY. But lived in Brooklyn for about 18 years. I have to 2 siblings and I ironically happen to be the youngest. My sister lives in California & My brother is in college living in North Carolina. I sometimes enjoy reading because it makes you realize that there is so much in the world to explore but in a matter of somebodies mind and point of view of somethings, It shows that people have different views and looks on things. I already o enjoy reading because of the different thoughts and ideas people make up to be stories. It’s also a escape from reality when reading a book that you are interested in. I personally enjoy collecting and listening to music. I have over 4000 songs on my iPhone. I also enjoy swimming & going to the gym. I learned how to swim when I was 9 years old. It’s a relaxing feeling to just swim laps and is also a workout as well. I entirely ENJOY watching football (The NFL) and football is my favorite sport of all time. My favorite quarterback is Aaron Rodgers but I am a Giants fan at heart.

I thought that my first experience at city tech was very unexpected. I knew that in college that you are truthfully on your own and nobody is going to chase after you to do work. If you make your own bed in college you lay in it. Either if it’s good or bad. I do however like the experience. I enjoyed exploring the campus trying to find my way around to my classes even though they are mostly all in the Namm Building. But I hope for the best in city tech and to have a great successful freshman year. I want to become a Doctor (Preferably a Epidemiologist) because I want to study how to make different type of cures to fight back against nasty viruses that are in the human body. This semester I plan on making sure that my GPA is above a 3.5. I know a 4.0 is a challenge in it’s entirety but however I am up for that challenge as well. I want to end updates make the deans list as well. During my summer break I worked at a hospital (SUNY DOWNSTATE) as a volunteer to help with files and exploring the medical center & seeing how doctors handle things with patients and etc (Technically like a hospital intern). I also when to Toronto & it was a wonderful experience. I loved the fact that it’s like a new world there and the atmosphere there is amazing. 

I mainly like writing but at the same time its a hassle to me. It’s like a love hate relationship with writing. I sometimes like expressing myself depending on the topic at hand but however my strength in writing is developing my ideas towards a topic and writing about it to voice my opinion or answer a question. I’m very eloquent when writing as well. But my weaknesses would have to be my hand writing. It’s like I’m writing hieroglyphics & it turns out weird when other people read it. I however am still working on having a good accurate hand writing. I enjoy expressing my thoughts when writing & I despise writing sometimes because of my hand writing. Me personally I believe that happiness relies on YOU at the end of the day. Nobody can make you happy except yourself. Just how I believe you control everything that YOU REACT towards. If you had a bad day and however you react positive towards it, then that shows you can control your own happiness. Happiness just doesn’t necessarily involve having money or having a wife and kids or even having everything you want in life. Happiness to me is just having a positive attitude towards anything and putting that into the world. When you give out positive types of vibes you get that back in life. Put in negative vibes and that also comes back to haunt you. My expectations for this class aren’t really “expectations” per say but I’m just ready to learn new things with English since this topic gets deeper and deeper every time you move up a grade and now that im in college you get to see the mastery of the English language.

Hey everyone, My name is Ivyz (Pronounced with an E) . I am 19 years of age but will soon be turning 20 on October 16. I’m from Brooklyn and have lived here my entire life. I am the oldest of six kids, three brothers and two sisters plus me. My siblings and mother are my biggest motivators, they’re the reason why I’m actually in college and striving to be the best that i can possibly be. I like to listen to music and just sit back, relax and have a good time even if its just a day in the house. This summer I didn’t really do much but start packing boxes to move into my new apartment, went to the pool, hung out with my boyfriend and spend time with my nephew.

Since this is my first time being in college I don’t really know how i feel about it. I still don’t know my way around the school but hopefully by next week or so I’ll get the hang of it. My expectations for this semester is to get through is with little bumps on this road possible for the simple fact I’m the type of person to stress over everything, even the little things. I hope to meet new people/friends because I honestly don’t have many. Hopefully I learn everything there is to know about each and every one of my classes. My Career goal and biggest desire in life is to become a successful therapist for sexually abused and depress kids/teens. I feel like I can make a big impact in someones life if I can help them get through a situation or situations they have been through (or still possibly going through) .

My Weakness as a writer is that sometimes i don’t know how to start or end my essays or sometimes I don’t have enough ideas to even form one. What I like about writing the most is that I can use it to express myself. When I was in fifth grade I actually wrote a paper for a magazine called ‘Voice’. It was basically an article about what wish would I ask for if I could have a wish granted and my wish was for my little brother whom has brain damage to no longer have it.

I believe that happiness starts within. That in order for you to be happy with anything you have to be happy with yourself. To me happiness means that you’re satisfied. I feel like it’s a choice like there’s so many people in this world that knows what it is to be happy but choose not to be. Happiness involves positivity, fulfillment, love, pleasure, well-being and ect.. If you go into any situation being negative or hateful of course you wont be satisfied with the results and if you aren’t satisfied then you’re not going to be happy.If you aren’t happy with yourself then how is it possible to be happy with anything else. That’s like going shopping finding a nice shirt trying it on and you aren’t happy with what you see in the mirror, why? Not because now the shirt isn’t nice to you anymore but because you don’t like the way it looks on you because you aren’t happy within.
