Hi my full name is Kaiyip Ho. My nickname “Kai” came from a friend of mine and it just grew on me. I am what you call an “ABC” aka American born Chinese. Unlike like most ABCs i am able to speak and understand my family’s language: Cantonese.
Although I play many sports like handball, tennis, and volleyball, I am a nerd at heart. I watch anime and play a lot of games. You can see how this has affected my choice of music. My playlist is a mix of everything I watch, like and a hint of my childhood(listen to Pharaoh’s Throne).
My music is important to me because it keeps me calm and collected. It keeps me from raging when playing video games and it keeps me in the “game” when playing handball.
Here is a sample of the songs I listen to. http://grooveshark.com/#!/playlist/Kai/77461264
hey,I am Mobin. When I woke up in the morning today and checked my email; I saw that we had to do this blog. Therefore, I decided to make this playlist. I get the idea that probably most of us are going to end up making playlists but I thought that, for me making a playlist would be the best way to show who I am. Even thought it was made spontaneously but I really like some of these songs in this playlist.
I mostly listen to every type of songs regardless of what language it is in. I just have to like the song. Once I like a song I start to listen to it till I start remembering the lyrics and stuff.
I don’t listen to music all the time. For example, some like to listen to music when they are studying but I think it just distracts you or some people likes to fall asleep while listening to songs but I could never do that. However, I do listen to music when I am in the subway, or bus or when i am sad or happy or just don’t want to talk to anybody around me.
So here are some of the songs I listen to: http://www.mixpod.com/playlist/89519865
Hi, I am Henry. I don’t have any type of song that I personally prefer, but I tend to hate songs that are played on the radio alot. Unless they are songs I really like. I listen to music when I’m bored, like on the train. I would personally die if I’m on the train and don’t have music. Music also really helps when you workout. It really pumps you up to p. I have two playlists of songs on my Ipod. One of them is for my workout and my casual walk around music.ush to your limit. Therefore, I have two playlists on my Ipod, a casual and workout playlist.
Here are some of the songs I listen to; http://www.mixpod.com/playlist/89520417
It really pumps you up to push yourself to your limits.*
Hello, I am Jessica. I’m a girl with many sides to me. Many may see me as someone who is very playful and cheery, but I also have a serious side to me. I believe in that one must work hard to get somewhere in life. I am someone with a very strong personality. My playlist tries its best to show these sides to me starting off with more fun and upbeat music, then transitions into music with positive lyrics thats are very motivating. http://www.mixpod.com/playlist/89520476
1. Queens
Queens, New York is my home. I have been living in Queens for all my life with my parents and two siblings. I can’t imagine us moving to anywhere else. It is the place where most my relatives and friends live. I have the friendliest neighbors and my best friend lives across the street. Queens hold all my childhood memories and there are many more to come.
2. Forest Hills High School
I have spent four years of my life at Forest Hills High School. I will never forget the crowded hallways, the massive heat during the summer, and waking up early in the morning to rush to class at 7:20.
3. Year Book Committee
I was part of the Year Book Club in high school. This club allowed each of us to put together our different ideas and bring out our creative side. It was a fun experience and I enjoyed every moment from taking photographs to editing. I also liked chatting and having small parties with the girls. Our hard work resulted in a spectacular yearbook.
4. Prom
Prom was an unforgettable night. The theme was “To Shine Together Forever.” Everyone looked their best and I enjoyed the delicious food and the selection of music.
5. Washington D.C.
I love to travel and I was lucky to be able to go on a trip to Washington DC in high school. It was for law students only but being an AP Art History student allowed some of my fellow classmates and me to fill in extra available seats. I enjoyed all three days of the trip where we visited many of the landmarks, went roller skating, and ate at a nice buffet.
6. Friends
This picture is from my high school graduation of two of my friends that I have known since l was five years old. We went to the same elementary, junior high and high schools. But when it came to college, we took different routes.
7. More Friends
This picture shows some of my other friends I have met in high school. All of our journeys throughout high school brought us all closer together. I am glad I had the chance to get to meet them because they are an awesome bunch and friends that I won’t be able to forget. I have lots of fun spending time with each and every one of them.
8. Photo Contest
This last photo shows the Eight Annual Teen Photo Contest award ceremony I attended for being one out of the twelve winners of a photo contest. I am standing alongside my AP Art History teacher, the manager of the Astoria Federal Savings at the Forest Hills Branch, and Astoria Federal’s First Vice President/Director of marketing and Public Relations . This contest is to show your creativity with photography and work with the given theme which was “Eye on Style: People, Fashion and Trends.” I took a picture of a friend posing with a skateboard.
Hello, my name is Tammy. I am someone who hopes to be in the music business in the future. I love many different genres of music. I love Hip Hop, Rap, R&B, Jazz, and many more types of music. I spend a lot of my time dancing, so I definitely love upbeat songs. Songs that are about going through tough times always appeal to me. I like listening to sweet songs that put me in a good mood wherever I am. I really like songs from the past that remind me of memories I had when I was younger.
Hello, I am Jasmine. I enjoy listening to all kinds of music and my selection of music really shows my positivity towards the world. I am very down-to-Earth and I never try to be someone I am not. I know who I am and who I aspire to be. My music is all about strengthening yourself and loving who you are. As a child, I was faced with a lot of pressure from my parents to become what they wanted me to be so much of my life was spent in ambivalence. I went through a period of depression, but I become stronger as a result. Through this experience, I learned to choose a path for myself and that is why I believe in new beginnings. I think it is essential for us to erase our bad experiences from our lives in order to make room for new experiences. I believe that faith is something everyone needs, and my ambition drives me to become a better person. I aspire to be someone who will do something great one day but still be humble when they look back on the things they have done. I am the type of person who does not judge others because despite our outward differences, we are the same people with the same goals: fight obstacles in our way and make the most of our lives. And though I look forward to my future, a part of me wants to stay young. I grasp onto my youth because it gives me the energy I need to continue doing great things in my life. I am optimistic about everything because life is what you make it to be. I strive to live a full life without any regrets and this is the person I have become.
Hello, I am Sami. I would consider myself overwhelmingly enthusiastic and outgoing about the simplest things, but unfortunately everything hits bottom as that “magical” number of ours increases. I like to think that I am talented soccer player but, I would rather other people evaluate my skills, mainly because evaluating your own self is frowned upon in today’s society . on the other hand, I love learning new languages, because to me they open up many closed boundaries in life. They expand the domain of social networking for people, and help create a more united globe. With that being said, I am on the closing point of mastering my third language.
In my freshmen seminar class we were asked to select ten songs that most vividly depict who we are. I chose ten songs that I feel did a satisfactory job in reflecting who I am as a person, and certain beliefs I have on major issues facing society today. Most of these songs reflect on motivational aspects of my life that help me succeed in anything I do. Some of the songs illustrate ambition to success, and the will one needs to capture success. They mention how in order to succeed to the next chapter of one’s life, a person need to take advantage of the slightest opportunity. I feel the connection between these songs because as a young person, I feel like we have the greatest access to opportunities, and letting them slip is like asking to live life backward. This is why I try to take advantage of the smallest access to opportunities and make the best of them. Two of the songs I chose strongly depict issues that I strongly believe should be addressed more often in today’s society; the environmental aspect of planet earth and poverty in many nations across the globe. These two issues are huge, but what makes them a bigger of a problem is the fact that people need a uniformed effort to successfully fix them. These ten songs I believe hold a meaningful portion of who I am as a person.
Hey my name is Mohammad Kamal. To be honest it is a bit difficult to describe oneself using only 10 songs but I think the songs I have chosen describes a bit about who I am and what I do. I like to play a lot sports and do physical activities. It makes me feel alive. I like the competition and the edge I get when I am playing in an intense game. I play basketball quite a bit and to call it my hobby would be an understatement. Listed here are 10 songs that describes how I act on a day to day basis or my personality or just a specific part of my life that holds great meaning to me. http://grooveshark.com/playlist/FRO/77479581
Hello, I’m Alvin. I must say I think I have the most diverse group of songs. But all in all they represent who I am. I listen to all kinds of music, some of which I didn’t even post on the playlist. But it represents my openness to everything. I primarily listen to a lot of hip hop/rap music. I listen to many “old school rappers” like Tupac, the Notorious BIG, Nas, Eminem, and Jay-Z. But I also love the new and upcoming artists like J. Cole, and Kendrick Lamar. I’m all about finding great songs, whether they be on the radio, or made by some young adult trying to make “rapping” his/her career. On top of liking rap, I do listen to rock, and thats because I’m fascinated by all sorts of musical instruments. Over the years I’ve picked up on playing the piano, oboe, and drums, and I wish to learn how to play the guitar soon enough. I like music that gets me hyped, not that sappy stuff, which is why the song Remember the Name was he first song I put on the playlist. It just motivates you to push on, and get somewhere in life. It makes me remember that I don’t just want to be any old person, but I want to be someone whose name becomes remembered for something great I have done. I’m always listening to music which is why I chose to make a playlist, but it’s always something I can fall back on, and something that will always cheer me up.
Hey everyone, my name is Ani Coaderaj. I think that these songs represent me to a certain extent, but there is defiantly more to me these songs don’t really portray. I am an individual who just loves life. Sometimes I would even go as far as to say Im like a philosopher because I do ask a lot of questions and wonder the meaning of life. I am a hopeless romantic (as you can see from some songs) and I think finding love and having family and friends is so important . These songs show my values and they also show the kind of woman that I aspire to be. A woman who is strong, intelligent, comfortable in her skin, and fun. Sometimes I take things and life too seriously, but I’m sincerely trying to take it easy. The thing I would say to sum it all up is that Im just an average girl, I am human. I have fears, and I have hopes and dreams just like anyone else. Check out my playlist! =)
Hi my name’s Philip. I love music. I’m open to most genres but I’m mostly interested in Hip-Hop and Rap. The way the artists express themselves in their songs with the beats and their unique flows really creates something great to just listen to. I could listen to music for hours and never get bored of it. Because music is everywhere and it’s one of the best ways for people to tell others a story. I have a ton of music blogs bookmarked on my computer for those ‘underground’ artists who are just starting out their careers and just want people to hear what they create. I think that life is all about the grind, the hard work, the blood, sweat and tears that it takes you to get you where you want. And at the same time, it’s about your friends, your family and the times you cherish with them. I couldn’t find 10 songs to express who I am, so I created a playlist of some of my favorite songs by my favorite artists. So listen to the playlist, whether it’s on your train ride, at home, or bumping at max volume in the car with your friends. Enjoy!
I’m Avneet. Originally from India, but I’ve been living in Queens ever since I came here. I’d say I keep my culture and roots very close to my heart, so they’re a huge part of my life! I also tend to keep only a few people close to me. I consider my family to be the greatest people in my life and they hold great significance for me. Especially my mom. She’s the strongest person I’ve ever known and she’s been there for me no matter what. I feel really blessed to have a mom like her. I had a really big surgery last year, and I think now how much harder it would’ve been if she wasn’t there with me at every step. Next come my friends! I met these five amazing girls in high school, and they made those four years just unforgettable. We’re all so different yet our craziness level is the same! I chose this picture from prom because it’ll always be a memorable night with them. My next picture is of my four Indian friends that I’ve known for years! I met two of them in 5th grade and the other two in 7th grade and we’ve been close ever since. In the next picture are my two brown friends from high school. We performed at the talent show together, and the picture shows how much I love being Indian. Food, clothes, music, and dancing! We had some insane times preparing for the show together. The next picture is me with my best friend. I feel like she deserves a personal picture because she’s more of a sister to me. I don’t actually have a sister and I’ve always wanted one, but I feel like I got one in her form. The next picture is also with my best friend. I’ve been extra close to her in high school. We’re complete lunatics together, and I’m so glad to have found someone as crazy as me. Now I’m really shy at first but with these people I love I can be very weird! Like dressing up as guys throughout the whole school day. I hope these few people stay in my life for as long as possible because laughs are only valuable when they’re shared with special people. (:
Hi! I’m Syed. My country of origin and birth place is Pakistan. I came here at the age of 4 months so I basically grew up in the United States. I’m originally from Brooklyn, NY but I moved to Queens, NY at the age of 11. My life consists of more than just school and a simple, boring life style. I believe one’s life should be lived so that they are active in all aspects: socially, religiously, and culturally. My friends and family mean almost everything to me. This is where the prompt of the blog comes in, my hobbies. One of my major hobbies is photography. I love photography and I believe that’s one of the ways in which one can express them self. I uploaded some of the picture that I have taken. I think these photographs represent me and express who I am. They may seem pointless or irrelevant but I believe the saying “A picture’s worth a thousand words.” is extremely precise in giving art or photography (A form of art) it’s true value. Here are the photos I uploaded: http://www.flickr.com/photos/87439720@N06/sets/72157631578316302
-Enjoy! =)
Hello, my name is Arpita, although I go by Savannah. I am Bengali. I grew up in Silicon Valley, CA. I now reside in Queens. According to my slide show, I am a candy-loving, cheesecake-eating, crime fighting (referring to the Batman shirt), angry cat who has a sister and a decent amount of friends.
In reality, I am all of those things (not including the angry cat :D). I am also just an 18 year old girl trying to stand out from the crowd. http://www.flickr.com/photos/87419108@N07/

1. Queens
Queens, New York is my home. I have been living in Queens for all my life with my parents and two siblings. I can’t imagine us moving to anywhere else. It is the place where most my relatives and friends live. I have the friendliest neighbors and my best friend lives across the street. Queens hold all my childhood memories and there are many more to come.
2. Forest Hills High School
I have spent four years of my life at Forest Hills High School. I will never forget the crowded hallways, the massive heat during the summer, and waking up early in the morning to rush to class at 7:20.
3. Year Book Committee
I was part of the Year Book Club in high school. This club allowed each of us to put together our different ideas and bring out our creative side. It was a fun experience and I enjoyed every moment from taking photographs to editing. I also liked chatting and having small parties with the girls. Our hard work resulted in a spectacular yearbook.
4. Prom
Prom was an unforgettable night. The theme was “To Shine Together Forever.” Everyone looked their best and I enjoyed the delicious food and the selection of music.
5. Washington D.C.
I love to travel and I was lucky to be able to go on a trip to Washington DC in high school. It was for law students only but being an AP Art History student allowed some of my fellow classmates and me to fill in extra available seats. I enjoyed all three days of the trip where we visited many of the landmarks, went roller skating, and ate at a nice buffet.
6. Friends
This picture is from my high school graduation of two of my friends that I have known since l was five years old. We went to the same elementary, junior high and high schools. But when it came to college, we took different routes.
7. More Friends
This picture shows some of my other friends I have met in high school. All of our journeys throughout high school brought us all closer together. I am glad I had the chance to get to meet them because they are an awesome bunch and friends that I won’t be able to forget. I have lots of fun spending time with each and every one of them.
8. Photo Contest
This last photo shows the Eight Annual Teen Photo Contest award ceremony I attended for being one out of the twelve winners of a photo contest. I am standing alongside my AP Art History teacher, the manager of the Astoria Federal Savings at the Forest Hills Branch, and Astoria Federal’s First Vice President/Director of marketing and Public Relations . This contest is to show your creativity with photography and work with the given theme which was “Eye on Style: People, Fashion and Trends.” I took a picture of a friend posing with a skateboard.
Hello, my name is Tammy. I am someone who hopes to be in the music business in the future. I love many different genres of music. I love Hip Hop, Rap, R&B, Jazz, and many more types of music. I spend a lot of my time dancing, so I definitely love upbeat songs. Songs that are about going through tough times always appeal to me. I like listening to sweet songs that put me in a good mood wherever I am. I really like songs from the past that remind me of memories I had when I was younger.
Here are 10 songs that I like to listen to:

Hello, I am Jasmine. I enjoy listening to all kinds of music and my selection of music really shows my positivity towards the world. I am very down-to-Earth and I never try to be someone I am not. I know who I am and who I aspire to be. My music is all about strengthening yourself and loving who you are. As a child, I was faced with a lot of pressure from my parents to become what they wanted me to be so much of my life was spent in ambivalence. I went through a period of depression, but I become stronger as a result. Through this experience, I learned to choose a path for myself and that is why I believe in new beginnings. I think it is essential for us to erase our bad experiences from our lives in order to make room for new experiences. I believe that faith is something everyone needs, and my ambition drives me to become a better person. I aspire to be someone who will do something great one day but still be humble when they look back on the things they have done. I am the type of person who does not judge others because despite our outward differences, we are the same people with the same goals: fight obstacles in our way and make the most of our lives. And though I look forward to my future, a part of me wants to stay young. I grasp onto my youth because it gives me the energy I need to continue doing great things in my life. I am optimistic about everything because life is what you make it to be. I strive to live a full life without any regrets and this is the person I have become.

Hello, I am Sami. I would consider myself overwhelmingly enthusiastic and outgoing about the simplest things, but unfortunately everything hits bottom as that “magical” number of ours increases. I like to think that I am talented soccer player but, I would rather other people evaluate my skills, mainly because evaluating your own self is frowned upon in today’s society . on the other hand, I love learning new languages, because to me they open up many closed boundaries in life. They expand the domain of social networking for people, and help create a more united globe. With that being said, I am on the closing point of mastering my third language.
In my freshmen seminar class we were asked to select ten songs that most vividly depict who we are. I chose ten songs that I feel did a satisfactory job in reflecting who I am as a person, and certain beliefs I have on major issues facing society today. Most of these songs reflect on motivational aspects of my life that help me succeed in anything I do. Some of the songs illustrate ambition to success, and the will one needs to capture success. They mention how in order to succeed to the next chapter of one’s life, a person need to take advantage of the slightest opportunity. I feel the connection between these songs because as a young person, I feel like we have the greatest access to opportunities, and letting them slip is like asking to live life backward. This is why I try to take advantage of the smallest access to opportunities and make the best of them. Two of the songs I chose strongly depict issues that I strongly believe should be addressed more often in today’s society; the environmental aspect of planet earth and poverty in many nations across the globe. These two issues are huge, but what makes them a bigger of a problem is the fact that people need a uniformed effort to successfully fix them. These ten songs I believe hold a meaningful portion of who I am as a person.

Hey my name is Mohammad Kamal. To be honest it is a bit difficult to describe oneself using only 10 songs but I think the songs I have chosen describes a bit about who I am and what I do. I like to play a lot sports and do physical activities. It makes me feel alive. I like the competition and the edge I get when I am playing in an intense game. I play basketball quite a bit and to call it my hobby would be an understatement. Listed here are 10 songs that describes how I act on a day to day basis or my personality or just a specific part of my life that holds great meaning to me.

Hello, I’m Alvin. I must say I think I have the most diverse group of songs. But all in all they represent who I am. I listen to all kinds of music, some of which I didn’t even post on the playlist. But it represents my openness to everything. I primarily listen to a lot of hip hop/rap music. I listen to many “old school rappers” like Tupac, the Notorious BIG, Nas, Eminem, and Jay-Z. But I also love the new and upcoming artists like J. Cole, and Kendrick Lamar. I’m all about finding great songs, whether they be on the radio, or made by some young adult trying to make “rapping” his/her career. On top of liking rap, I do listen to rock, and thats because I’m fascinated by all sorts of musical instruments. Over the years I’ve picked up on playing the piano, oboe, and drums, and I wish to learn how to play the guitar soon enough. I like music that gets me hyped, not that sappy stuff, which is why the song Remember the Name was he first song I put on the playlist. It just motivates you to push on, and get somewhere in life. It makes me remember that I don’t just want to be any old person, but I want to be someone whose name becomes remembered for something great I have done. I’m always listening to music which is why I chose to make a playlist, but it’s always something I can fall back on, and something that will always cheer me up.
Hey everyone, my name is Ani Coaderaj. I think that these songs represent me to a certain extent, but there is defiantly more to me these songs don’t really portray. I am an individual who just loves life. Sometimes I would even go as far as to say Im like a philosopher because I do ask a lot of questions and wonder the meaning of life. I am a hopeless romantic (as you can see from some songs) and I think finding love and having family and friends is so important . These songs show my values and they also show the kind of woman that I aspire to be. A woman who is strong, intelligent, comfortable in her skin, and fun. Sometimes I take things and life too seriously, but I’m sincerely trying to take it easy. The thing I would say to sum it all up is that Im just an average girl, I am human. I have fears, and I have hopes and dreams just like anyone else. Check out my playlist! =)

Hi my name’s Philip. I love music. I’m open to most genres but I’m mostly interested in Hip-Hop and Rap. The way the artists express themselves in their songs with the beats and their unique flows really creates something great to just listen to. I could listen to music for hours and never get bored of it. Because music is everywhere and it’s one of the best ways for people to tell others a story. I have a ton of music blogs bookmarked on my computer for those ‘underground’ artists who are just starting out their careers and just want people to hear what they create. I think that life is all about the grind, the hard work, the blood, sweat and tears that it takes you to get you where you want. And at the same time, it’s about your friends, your family and the times you cherish with them. I couldn’t find 10 songs to express who I am, so I created a playlist of some of my favorite songs by my favorite artists. So listen to the playlist, whether it’s on your train ride, at home, or bumping at max volume in the car with your friends. Enjoy!

I’m Avneet. Originally from India, but I’ve been living in Queens ever since I came here. I’d say I keep my culture and roots very close to my heart, so they’re a huge part of my life! I also tend to keep only a few people close to me. I consider my family to be the greatest people in my life and they hold great significance for me. Especially my mom. She’s the strongest person I’ve ever known and she’s been there for me no matter what. I feel really blessed to have a mom like her. I had a really big surgery last year, and I think now how much harder it would’ve been if she wasn’t there with me at every step. Next come my friends! I met these five amazing girls in high school, and they made those four years just unforgettable. We’re all so different yet our craziness level is the same! I chose this picture from prom because it’ll always be a memorable night with them. My next picture is of my four Indian friends that I’ve known for years! I met two of them in 5th grade and the other two in 7th grade and we’ve been close ever since. In the next picture are my two brown friends from high school. We performed at the talent show together, and the picture shows how much I love being Indian. Food, clothes, music, and dancing! We had some insane times preparing for the show together. The next picture is me with my best friend. I feel like she deserves a personal picture because she’s more of a sister to me. I don’t actually have a sister and I’ve always wanted one, but I feel like I got one in her form. The next picture is also with my best friend. I’ve been extra close to her in high school. We’re complete lunatics together, and I’m so glad to have found someone as crazy as me. Now I’m really shy at first but with these people I love I can be very weird! Like dressing up as guys throughout the whole school day. I hope these few people stay in my life for as long as possible because laughs are only valuable when they’re shared with special people. (:
Hi! I’m Syed. My country of origin and birth place is Pakistan. I came here at the age of 4 months so I basically grew up in the United States. I’m originally from Brooklyn, NY but I moved to Queens, NY at the age of 11. My life consists of more than just school and a simple, boring life style. I believe one’s life should be lived so that they are active in all aspects: socially, religiously, and culturally. My friends and family mean almost everything to me. This is where the prompt of the blog comes in, my hobbies. One of my major hobbies is photography. I love photography and I believe that’s one of the ways in which one can express them self. I uploaded some of the picture that I have taken. I think these photographs represent me and express who I am. They may seem pointless or irrelevant but I believe the saying “A picture’s worth a thousand words.” is extremely precise in giving art or photography (A form of art) it’s true value. Here are the photos I uploaded: http://www.flickr.com/photos/87439720@N06/sets/72157631578316302
-Enjoy! =)
Hello, my name is Arpita, although I go by Savannah. I am Bengali. I grew up in Silicon Valley, CA. I now reside in Queens. According to my slide show, I am a candy-loving, cheesecake-eating, crime fighting (referring to the Batman shirt), angry cat who has a sister and a decent amount of friends.
In reality, I am all of those things (not including the angry cat :D). I am also just an 18 year old girl trying to stand out from the crowd.
