College trips to City College and Fordam University by Melanie

Over this last week the 9th grade went to several colleges. The group I was in had went to City College a CUNY college in Manhattan and Fordam University a private in the Bronx. Both colleges are great and have lots of interesting courses to consider. In City College the things that stood out to me the most was the different majors. For example, this college has the opportunity to become and inter to become a nurse later on in my life. I also liked the campus, the way the buildings looked and were modern and closed off. I think the fact that the security is pretty tight is another interest I have in a college. I don't like the location of either colleges. But the campus is very beautiful. I Fordam because it made me more inspired to pursuit and thing i want by the time i decide what i want to do. I think I might major in business or the Arts like theater,etc. I would like to visit Princeton University or Yale University as well to see the expectations I need to do right now in order to attend a college that is that high on the list.

My hobbies are to hang out with my friends, talk on the phone, laugh, act, and sing. I like to do alot of things that involve having fun with my friends and family. I am Dominican, Puerto Rician,Italian, And Hatian. As you can see I have a lot of different sides to myself. My favorite hobbies are to laugh. When you will see me in the halls you will usually find me laughing. My smile is something that is important to me in many different ways. It's apart of me that has been there since i was born! My favorite classes are math, science, and theater. I think this bloger will help my and my friends express our different views on different subjects in the mat world. I have a lot to larn and this will help me understand what other people understand in math. Its like picking a piece of each one of my friends minds and learning from each opinion!! This year is about new things to do, new mistakes and new things to learn. I would like to at least learn one huge lesson as this year grows more exciting and more interesting!!!!!
