Who I am By Nishat M. Chowdhury
Hi, my name is Nishat Mahfuz Chowdhury and I was born and raised here in New York City. The thing that is most important to me is my family. I’m the oldest of four children. It can be annoying being the oldest sibling at times and sometimes we do get into arguments, but at the end of the day I’m grateful that I have such a wonderful, loving family. I can’t imagine not having them around me all the time. I guess this is one of the reasons why I decided to go to college in the city. Besides my parents and siblings, there is another member in my family who’s very special to me and that is our cat, Minnie. We brought Minnie home when I was in seventh grade and we consider him as the seventh member of our family. I love to hang out with my friends. My closest friends are all from high school. Although we’ve all separated our ways, we all still keep in touch. The fifth photo on this slideshow is of an event which took place earlier this year. The photo is of some of the members of my high school Muslim Student Association, or StuyMSA for short. This group played a huge role in my life and still continues to do so. This is the group where I met some of my closest friends. StuyMSA has shaped me as who I am and has a special place in my heart. The photo after this one is of the bridge to my old high school. I decided to include this photograph because although I struggled at Stuyvesant High School, I am grateful to all the staff and students who helped me get to where I am. The seventh photo on this slideshow is a photograph I took for a photography class. I love to take photos of almost anything. I wouldn’t consider myself as an expert or anything but I just enjoy capturing moments. Finally, the last photograph is of Baruch College as you all probably recognize. I included this photograph and made it the last one on this slideshow because this is where I am today. I hope to achieve my goals and make my dreams come true with the help of this college.
