Hi everyone!

Micah’s Slideshow

I’m Micah Reyes, born on March 16, 1995 and raised in New Rochelle, New York (Westchester County). I created a slideshow (link above) filled with pictures of great significance to me. In the first picture, I am seen wearing a pink-sequined tutu and ballet slippers. It accurately depicts my passion for dancing at such a young age, although now I prefer hip-hop, tap and jazz than ballet.

The second picture is from my high school graduation with my mom, dad, brother and sister. My mom is a nurse for plastic surgeons all over NYC while my dad is a nursing manager at Hospital for Special Surgery also in NYC. They both grew up in the Philippines and came to America in their early 20s. My brother is seventeen while my sister is fifteen; they’re both in high school. My family is extremely important and special to me and I wouldn’t be where I am today without their love and support.

The third picture is of my beloved Chihuahua Katie. She died on July 1, 2013. She was my best friend since I was seven years old. Losing her was the toughest thing I ever had to endure in my life. Rest in peace Katie.

The fourth picture is of my best friend and roommate Aminah. We met in third grade and have been extremely close ever since. We’ve been through elementary, middle, high school and now college. Both of our decisions to attend Baruch College had nothing to do with one another. It’s crazy how we ended up in the same block and now we have almost every class together. We literally grew up together and I know I wouldn’t be the same person without her.

The fifth picture is of my boyfriend Kurt. I met him when I was seven years old. We’ve been together for more than two years. He’s in the Regiment of Cadets at SUNY Maritime College. He’s very special to me. I never thought I would find anyone I could be so comfortable around other than Aminah!

The sixth picture is most of my high school friends. We all had amazing memories in high school and I miss them so much!

The seventh picture is makeup. My passion for makeup developed in middle school. I stumbled upon makeup videos on YouTube and became obsessed. I aspire to someday start my own makeup brand or at least work for one.

The eighth and final picture is of Irene, Kristina N., Kristina S. and Aminah. These girls are my new college friends and I love them already! I’m so happy that I found people like me to help make my college experience better.

Well hello there ladies and gentlemen, my name is Patrick Ryniewski. I have an easy going attitude and am I not serious 90% of the time. As for the photos, they are [Almost] self explanatory. The basketball hoop pictures means that I enjoy playing basketball. I have played it since junior high school with two of my closest friends to this day. The bicycle picture that shows the reasons why riding a bike has its advantages is because I rode a bike to high school every day and I ride my bike down the east river (Or Hudson river, I am getting pretty confused on which for some reason). Unfortunately, I crashed my bike once and even though I messed the bike up pretty badly I was not hurt at all. I did a 360 in the air but managed to do some weird push up position to avoid getting hurt. Because of that I temporarily used my brother’s  nice bike for which it was stolen in the next three days while in school. The cooking picture is important to me because I like cooking. It is what I enjoy doing often but I never have the right ingredients for certain things. Some days I imagine what it’s like to be an astronaut and look at the sky with infinite possibilities. That is why I added the space picture, that picture is usually my avatar, too. The attack on Titan, is currently my favorite anime show. I watch 5-7 anime shows a week, because they either come out Thursday or Sundays. These shows influenced my Sunday to be dedicated for a a nice breakfast watching anime >:). The computer picture and Youtube picture go together. The computer is the equivalent of my game console, and Youtube is my equivalent to a television. A television that always has a good show on! I put it a picture of a cat and dog because it is what I own. Sometimes annoying but always love-able!

Hello Everyone,

My name is Felix Moronta.  I am a simple kid from Queens who hangs out with friends, plays basketball, go on spontaneous adventures, and listen to music on my free time.   I love listening to music that paint pictures, show emotion, and have lyrics that grasps my attention the first time I listen to them. My preference is mostly Rap and Hip-Hop, and Old School Hip-Hop and R&B, but i do listen to all musical genres from Pop to Rock. The musical playlist I created has all my favorite songs and also show who I am. All songs have a personal connection to me, from my rebellious behavior shown in F*cking Problems by A$AP Rocky, to my sensitive side as shown in Suffocate by J. Holiday. In the playlist I also included some Spanish songs ranging in genres; from Spanish Soft Rock to Salsa and Bachata. Those are  the genres that I listened and danced to when growing up.

I literally have a song for any mood I may be feeling at any particular moment.  For example, when I’m driving and am alone I like to listen to Don’t You Worry Child by Swedish House Mafia or some Britney Spears. Don’t judge me. I also love to enjoy moments that induce nostalgia which is why I always listen to Old-School musical artists such as Slim Shady and Pretty Ricky. To me, music is more than just words spoken in a rhythm on an instrumental. Music is a way to escape to a place where no one can judge you, even though me listening to Britney Spears might be cause for judgement, but nevertheless there is a musical genre for everyone to get lost in and just forget the world’s problem for a while.  Music molded me into who I am today; a free-spirited, open-minded , happy, music and party loving, sensitive kid.  Have a great day, afternoon, or evening everyone.

My Musical Playlist. 😀 Enjoy!
