I’d like a class where I’d be able to communicate with friends but also be able to learn a lot, kind of like my Spanish class in my high school junior year. In my perfect class, the teacher would able to actually teach well and also know how to motivate the class. A teacher without a heavy accent, good handwriting, and an open mind, instead of a stubborn attitude would be the ideal teacher for my perfect class.

My name is Ji Yong, it’s rather annoying to say, I know. I feel like I should get an English name but I can’t choose. Anyways, I’m from South Korea. I came to the United States at the age of 5. I attended Benjamin N. Cardozo High School. I was born and raised in Queens. I love music. I like to dj. I’m on the verge of trying to produce songs, but it’s really not working out that well. BUT it’s okay, I’ll try harder and harder.

I think the perfect class would be one where not too much written work is done, but learning is still done. I think the environment of the classroom should be inviting, like a room with windows to let in sunlight and maybe a nice view out of the window also. I think the perfect class would have a laid back professor who makes the class very straight forward with no curve balls or major difficulty. I think the perfect class would also limit reading to a minimum and have outlines given for exams. Also doing activities outside of the classroom like visiting museums or historical landmarks would make the class perfect.

Well, I’m writing this about 30 minutes from the deadline after trying to log on countless times, so here goes nothing. I’m Irving. I was born and raised near Deal, New Jersey – a town that is extremely unlike the typical Jersey Shore stereotype of New Jersey. I’m part of a large Jewish community that inhabits a large part of Brooklyn and a small part of the area I live in. I’m 18 and I’m currently living in the Baruch dorms while commuting back to New Jersey every weekend.

I love to snowboard in the winter and play tennis in the summer. I’d say I’m best at those two sports. A close third favorite would have to be surfing – not kidding. I plan to major in Real Estate and minor in Computer Science (my guilty pleasure).

My name is Raymond Wu. I live in Brooklyn with my parents and two older sisters. I enjoy playing a lot of sports such as volleyball, handball, and bowling. I was on the bowling team back in high school. One more thing. I love biking and everything about bikes. I rode all over the five boroughs and even to other states. I just have a thing for being outdoors. I have a lot of hobbies like solving the rubik’s cube and doing yoyo tricks. I am looking forward to learning more about everyone.

 

Hey guys, my name is Howard. I was born in Taipei, Taiwan which i realized is one of the greatest cities in the world through my visit this summer. I grew up in Bayside, Queens and attended Benjamin N. Cardozo High School. Currently a freshman and majoring in accounting(?). During my free time, I enjoy listening to music (house, trance, electronic, hiphop), hanging with friends, and attending music concerts/festivals. I aspire to be a successful businessman in the future and hope to travel around Europe. Hope we can all get to know each other better and enjoy the first year of college!

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. I’m hoping to make the basketball team here at Baruch. I’m an average kid, I like to chill and hang out with friends whenever i can. If you’re wondering how tall I am the answer is 6’4.

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
