My name is Michael Sheridan, I’m 17 years old and live in Queens. My parents moved me and my brothers to Ireland when I was 7 for two years and then moved back to Queens when I was 9. I have two brothers and I’m the middle child in my family. I enjoy playing basketball and hanging out with friends. I’ve learned that life’s short and you should live everyday like its your last. I wish everyone the best this school year and I hope I get a chance to know you all.

Sup class, my name is Alexander but you can call me Alex. I’m 17, live in Brooklyn and I’m Polish. I like to play sports such as basketball, volleyball and handball.

Hi! My name is William Yu and I am 18 years old. I am from Brooklyn and I recently graduated Midwood High School.
Just like Justin, my passions are playing basketball and helping others. I have an older sister and two hard-working
parents that motivate me everyday to work hard at everything I do. I’m excited to get to learn a little bit more
about everyone this semester and to read all of your blogs. See you all tomorrow!

Hello everyone!

My name Diana Arias and currently I am 17 years old. I attended William Cullen Bryant high school in Queens, I lived most of my life in Queens but I was born in Ecuador. I can honestly say that I am undecided about my major right now, however I have a couple of things that I am passionate about like the environment and working with kids. I currently work as a Kumon Primary Instructor and that’s when I really began to like working with kids. I love playing soccer in my free time I also love flipping around and doing Gymnastics. In high school I was always an over achiever I was a member of numerous clubs and teams, I was also part of the leadership team. I would like to continue to be really active in school clubs but I also want to spend a great deal of time on my studies. My goal this year is to make it on the Dean’s list. Im also very friendly so don’t be shy about talking to me I love making new friends. 🙂

Sincerely,

Diana Arias

Hi guys! I’m Tiffany Mazza. I’m 18 and was born and raised in Staten Island. I’ve been to private schools all my life, even an all girl Catholic high school, so Baruch is a huge change for me. I come from a very loud Italian family and I have a sister, a brother, and a dog named Waffles. I absolutely love music. I’ve been playing the piano since I was little and even tried the violin in junior year. My favorite color is blue and I love to travel. I’ve been to 4 European countries and I plan to visit 10 before I graduate. Well that’s it for now!

Hello everyone, my name is Wan Yin, but since I’m tired of constantly repeating my name for you all, just call me Wendy. No promises though on whether I’ll reply if you do call me Wendy. I was born in Hong Kong, but I live in Brooklyn now, and yes, I am one of those people who will judge you and proceed to mentally strangle you if you lump HK together with China. I went to Brooklyn Tech[nical HS] where I majored in Computer Science and now I regret not applying to any computer schools, haha.

I look forward to spending a semester with you all!
