Hi, I’m Anna. I am currently a student at Hunter College. I am very much undecided on my major, but recently became interested in learning more about Business, and so I am taking a couple of courses at Baruch College. I hope to find something that I can genuinely be interested in. I spent 18 years on Long Island, NY, but I definitely enjoy the city life over the suburbs. I enjoy learning about fitness and health, swimming, reading, and most of all – eating.
A little bit of family background: Both of my parents are from China. They both immigrated to the United States when they were about 20 years old, just looking to better their lives. They had me and my sister a few years later, and we moved out to Long Island. Although I am not an immigrant, my parents are, and that has had its influences. I speak to them in our FuZhou Chinese dialect at home. They like to stick to the Chinese culture and values, and so at times there is a discord between the ways in which we see things. But I will always appreciate the fact that I have had opportunities in my life that my parents never had.
Hello everyone! My name is Milan Bien-Aime. I am 19 years old and come from the Upper West Side in Manhattan. I am hoping to major in Economics or Business, and I previously went to the Brooklyn Latin High School, where i participated in the International Baccalaureate program. I enjoy drawing, debate, public speaking, politics, and reading, as well as playing video games and watching movies. During the summer, I work as a camp counselor at Bank Street Summer Camp.
Both me and my little brother were born and raised in New York City. My ancestry traces back to the Caribbean, as most of my family originated from there. I have two mothers as parents and was born from an unknown sperm donor of Cuban descent. One of my mothers grew up here in Spanish Harlem, while my other mother is of Puerto Rican descent. Both are lawyers came to New York City to study law at New York University, where they met each other. I hear a lot of Spanish from my relatives, but I am more fluent in French and English than Spanish.
Hello! My name is Christopher Augusto Rincon, and I am a prospective Psychology/English double major here at Hunter College. In my spare time I enjoy watching and reviewing films, practicing Mixed Martial Arts, and playing video games. Fun Facts: I’ve been kicked in the head three times, I have no canine teeth, and I’ve been on four service trips to third world nations (once to Costa Rica, once to the Dominican Republic and twice to Honduras).
My father was born and raised in the Dominican Republic. The son of a musical prodigy, he quickly demonstrated an aptitude for playing the violin. At the tender age of 18, he immigrated to the United States to receive higher education at the University of Georgia, where he was granted a full music scholarship. It was there that he met my mother, an all-American girl from Tennessee who was also pursuing a degree in music performance. Although my mother is predominantly of English descent, her lineage is so profoundly ingrained in American history that it is difficult to identify her as anything other than American. Shortly after my birth, my parents moved to Forest Hills, where we lived for 3 years before relocating to our current place of residence in Long Beach, Long Island.
Hello everyone, my name is Glenn Liu. I am 18 years old, and I come from Fresh Meadows, Queens. Both my parents are immigrants that came to America to study at Queens College. My dad is from Taichung, Taiwan, and my mom is from Taiping, Malaysia. I was born and have lived in New York City my whole life. I went to PS162 and MS158, both in Bayside, and Townsend Harris High School in Flushing. I haven’t decided my major yet, though I am considering Geography, Cultural Anthropology, or Environmental Studies with a minor in Geology, Art or Music.
Some of my hobbies include hiking, sketching, watching the sky, video games, reading fantasy novels, playing the piano, and finding deserted spots with pleasant scenery to haunt. I love traveling to different places to admire architecture and natural formations, as well as to experience different ambiences.
Hi my name is Nir Krawczyk, I am 19-years-old, and I am undecided with a minor in music. I am a Jazz pianist but I love playing and listening to all types of music. Whatever my major is, it will most likely be in the humanities and/or social sciences. Cool fact: Both of my elder sister’s actually attended Macaulay at Hunter as well which is pretty neat because I get all the insider tips.
As for my family it gets a little complicated. My grandparents are all Eastern European but both my parents were born in Argentina. Then they moved to Israel, had both my sisters, and then moved to the U.S. where I was born right here in the Bronx. Then we moved to Israel again until I was 7 when we came back, and this time for good. My house is a Hebrew-Spanish-English mess and I love it.
