Hello everyone! My name is Berline but you can just call me Bee. My preferred pronouns are she and hers. I’m originally from Brooklyn but both my parents are from Haiti, so I’m also Haitian and do speak some creole. My major is Nursing and for many reasons. One is that I love caring for those who are in need and I’m really looking forward to caring for the little ones. I absolutely love and adore babies, so I’m really excited about my future as a pediatric nurse, in God’s willing. Besides loving babies I also have a love for music and dancing. Dancing is one of the many things I do on my spare time and sometimes all the time. I mostly do Hip Hop but I also enjoy other styles of dancing, I find it to be very relaxing and stress free. Besides this class I’m also taking philosophy, history, and public speaking which brings me to one of the things I dislike and that is speaking in public. I do happen to be a shy person, so I would get really nervous when it comes to speaking in front of a crowd. Being not only in my public speaking class but also in this class I hope to overcome this fear. Everyone seems very nice and since they’re only a few of us in the class, it shouldn’t be so hard. I also hope to gain a lot of knowledge about women rights and the many roles they played to be where we are today.Well I’m looking forward to getting to know all of you and hope we all have a great semester.

Hello everyone my name is Ese yes that is how you spell it and I have heard of all the jokes. I live in the Bronx and my preferred pronouns are “he/his.”This will by my 3rd year here at NYCCT. My major was computer engineering but soon realize that it was not me. I’m very interested in transferring for a number of reasons but can’t at the moment.

   First things first, Hello! My name is Clara Muriel. Some people refer to me as Claire and/or Cookie Monster (due to my initials and favorite dessert). Feel free to use either, or, but please choose one. I was born and raised in New York City it is a privilege and an honor, but my nationality is Colombian. I am a very open minded person, I was taught to always be respectful towards anyone’s interest and views. The pronoun all of you may use is “her” and “she”, I will respect anyone’s choice in pronouns. Education and Career wise, this is my third semester in City Tech.  My passion is for animals and hope to slowly plan out my long route to becoming a Veterinarian. I own 2 dogs and a bunny. I also volunteer in a shelter during my free time. I know I will make mistakes in my life trying to reach my goal while balancing my other passion for traveling and seeing the world. But the best thing is to learn and adapt while growing to be a great human being and citizen of the world. I know that the only way to succeed my general goal is through education, even the subjects that may not exactly refer to my career choice. I hope while expanding my education in different ways, such as in a classroom setting or a flying from country to country to historical landmarks way. I will also learn more about myself and the different sides of myself that I may not even know exist.

Hello everyone,

My name is Nabeela Ahmad, I also go by Nabii. I was born and raised in Brooklyn. My family is originated from Pakistan and migrated to the United States in 1985. I was raised with five men in my house (my uncles) and I was the first girl after a very long time. So growing up I always dressed and acted like a boy. Slowly that changed because of the environment and because my sister was born. I am a full time employee as an analyst at a Bankruptcy firm and a part time student. I stopped attending college because I was never a school person but as I grew older, I realized the importance of education and that made me start college again. My preferred pronouns are “she/her.” I had two electives left to fulfill in order to accomplish my associate degree in liberal arts and sciences. I am always interested in English/literature, therefore; I choose Women studies as one of the electives. So far I am liking the class but the presentation part scares me a bit. I haven’t gotten to know anyone yet but everyone seems nice in their own way. I look forward to getting to know you all.
Besides work and college, I have a hobby of doing henna tattoos and try different makeup looks on myself and my friends. For those of you who don’t know what henna is, it’s a green paste that we put on leave to dry and washes off to an orange to red-ish color. I also love baking, I started baking when I was 17 and still enjoy it.

That’s all for now.

Thank you,

Nabeela.

Hello my fellow classmates, I am at the age of 19 and I was born in the country of Bangladesh. I currently live in Harlem on west 125^th street. My preferred pronouns are to be called she/her. This is my third semester in NYC of Technology and I expect to be graduating by my fourth semester with an associate’s degree majoring in the Liberal Arts and Arts department. However, with a lot thought I finally was able to choose my designation and it is to become an early childhood educator. Therefore, I am choosing to further my education and start my bachelors’ degree in City College. Something interesting about myself is I’m not a quitter. No matter how hard things are, no matter the journey, I am willing to lose sleep forever if it’s meant for a successful future. Even though I don’t have any kids yet, my motive behind this are for them.

Hello, my name is Dinesh Surujdeo and my preferred pronoun can be anything but he/his would suffice. I am a second year student here at City Tech. My major is Mechanical Engineering Technology. At the end on this year, i will get the associates degree, however my overall goal is to get my masters in Mechanical Engineering. I plan to transfer at the end of the year to another school. Right now i am deciding between City College or Farmingdale State to get my masters. My career choice of engineering was influenced by the fact that like working with my hands. I find that I do my best work when I work with my hands. I love working with cars especially since my dad works with Lexus. The picture is of a 2006 Mitsubishi Evo I had been working on with some car enthusiast friends.

I was originally born in Guyana and my family moved to New York when I was seven years old. Since then, i grew up in Queens. One thing I love as much or even more at times than cars is sports. I am naturally attracted to my county’s sport of cricket(most American haven’t heard of it). It is a big part of my family and I grew up with it. I played it all four years of high school. But growing up in Queens, I i fell in love with basketball and especially football. My favorite teams are the Los Angeles Lakers and the New York Giants respectively.  I like to exercise and workout on a regular basis.

I am a very easygoing person. I am also ambitious and dedicated to becoming a successful engineer. I enjoy making my friends and family laugh.
