Hello, my name is Janiel. I am 18 and Dominican and live in the Heights. I’m very nervous about starting my college experience, especially since I am not sure on what I want to major on. As of right now my main focus is to get good grades in all my classes so I can maintain it when I do decide what to major in. Other than being nervous, I am also very excited to get to know new people. I would say I am very introverted and it is especially hard to get me loose around people who I am not used to, but I came into college telling myself I am going to try and meet new people.
My biggest hobby/interest is football. My interest in football was spiked because I loved the idea of wrestling and catching. As a kid I used to go up to all my cousins and we would wrestle. I also used to have an obsession with the WWE and I used to love John Cena. I got the catching from baseball because I found it to be challenging in a relaxing way. When I first found out about football I realized the aspects that I liked about both of these things were in football. 8 years later, I appreciate and will forever appreciate football for all the lessons I’ve learned from it. Even now, I still play flag football although I prefer tackle football. Some other notable hobbies of mine would be watching anime, and hanging out with friends.

This is a picture of me and my close friends at a park. This picture means a lot to me because it reminds me that I am blessed to have people around me and that I am not alone. I’m looking forward to meeting more people at Baruch.
Hi Janiel, I’m extremely nervous about college too. To be honest I’m extremely worried about my grades but it seems like it is not as hard as all of our teachers and parents made it out to be in terms of the workload and the harshness of grading. Hopefully we get to know each other better during the semester.
Hello Janiel, I also was a huge fan WWE. John Cena was my favorite wrestler to watch. I’m looking forward to getting to know you better this semester.
Hi Janiel, I can also agree that I am not sure what exactly to major in and feel the same way about college. However, we share the same goal of receiving good grades because I want to be on a good track and not fall off. WWE was a big part of my childhood as well. me and my cousins would watch it and try to imitate the moves even though it was quite dangerous. Hopefully we can get to know each other better this semester.
Hi, Janiel,I feel the same way in which I don’t know what exactly I want to major in. I also want to get good grades in all my classes too. Although I like to play football sometimes, I much prefer basketball.
Hi Janiel, I also loved watching WWE and playing the game with my brothers when I was younger.
Hi Janiel, Im also looking forward to meeting new people and I also like hanging out with close friends because they make life better and enjoy every moment with them.
