This picture was taken at prom with some of my closest friends.
My name is Adona Pjetergjoka and I’m 18 years old. My birthday is on the first day of summer. I was born in Albania and came to New York at the age of four. I’ve moved three times, but lived only in Queens. When I first came to America, I lived in Woodhaven and now I live in Kew Gardens. Before I came to Baruch College, I attended Townsend Harris High School. In high school, I enjoyed math and science subjects. I didn’t play any sports in high school, but I was involved in a few clubs, such as Key Club and Free the Children. I almost wanted to be pre-med, but I decided I’m more interested in business. As of now I am thinking of majoring in finance.
I have a pretty big family and we’re all really spread out. I have family in New York, Connecticut, Detroit, Albania, Italy, Greece, and England. I visit Albania about every other summer. I have a 4-year-old brother and a 21-year-old sister. My brother just started kindergarten and my sister attends Barnard College.
