The reason I came to City College is…
To attend the Sophie Davis School of Biomedical Education, the seven year medical program here at City College.
The best way to describe City College would be…
...A home away from home. Everyone is friendly and there’s a variety of classes to take and clubs to join.
A typical day for me…
I get up at 8:00 am and go to work from 10am to 2pm. I then go to class from 2pm to 6pm, which is followed by a 2 hour workout in the Fitness Center. Since I’m on the basketball and volleyball team, sometimes I’ll have practice or have to attend a game. I then get home where I’ll cook, clean and do homework and I’m usually in bed by 12 or 1.
So far, my favorite class is…
I really enjoy my French class. Its really opened new doors for me.
After I graduate, my plan is to…
I plan to attend medical school.
In my spare time, I…
Usually read read or go out with friends.
My favorite book is…
In the Time of the Butterflies by Julia Alvarez and my favorite movie is The Notebook.
