Hi Everyone, My name is Jahira Bethune. I am a Liberal Arts major here at BMCC however once I obtain my agree I do plan to take on Small Business Entrepreneurship. I would like to say I have a true love for history because I did. However, maturing and aging has taught me the truth to history that so many have no clue of. I am taking this course as a requirement. Unfortunately, I had no intentions on enrolling and changes my mind last minute then had some difficulties with electronics. I’ll be catching up and on board with you all soon. I hope we all learn alot more than expected by the end of the semester. Good Luck!

Hello, my name is Kimberly but I prefer going by Kim. I’m 18 years old and my major is computer science, and it’s my first year at BMCC. I’m Ecuadorian, but was raised here in Queens New York. Some of my favorite hobbies consist of listening to music, playing video games, cooking, and hanging out with my dog. My favorite music genre is r&b, artists like SZA and Frank Ocean. I also like a lot of Spanish music. I like most video games that have action. Some of my favorite dishes to cook are a lot of traditional plates from my country. My dog is currently 12 so he is a senior dog but I like taking him out to the park. I’m an introverted person until I get to know you, but can’t wait to see what this class holds

I’m Hispanic I was born in my country, I came to the United States when I was 11 years old with my older brother. It was weird to get used to here but now I love it since my family is here. my major is health science. One of the things I love to do it’s paint and listen to music or write in my journal depending how I’m feeling. I can’t wait to finish this semester and continue on this journey to get my degree.

Hi Everyone. I started my education at Norwalk Community College, then transferred to SUNY Purchase. I also hold an MA in Literature and a MS in Education, both from CCNY/ The City College of New York. I have been teaching for nearly 20 years: ESL to international students in private language schools in NYC, in public high schools in NYC, in CCNY, and, my most beloved one, teaching you at BMCC. I teach Literacy, Critical Thinking and Composition courses. I am always looking for ways to engage students, improve my classes, and learn new skills. I am sooooo glad I transitioned from Blackboard to the OpenLab, and from textbook-based courses to ZTC/ zero-textbook courses. In my free time, I love to read, write, and explore the world with my two spirited children, and with my partner. I look forward to getting to know you.
