Hello classmates my name is Dariany Delrosario I am majoring in Science pursuing my Dental career. This is my second year in college and to be honest I didn’t think I’ll get this far with being a full time worker and mother. Especially with covid hitting us It has been a challenge but I think I’m striving into the right direction of getting my degree. When I graduate from bmcc I hope to transfer into NYU to pursue my Dental Hygienist career. My hopes and Dreams are to become the perfect example to my son and show him whatever you put your mind into you will success in no matter how hard things gets. I currently live in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. I use she/her/hers pronouns. I’m taking this class because my major is requiring me to but I am excited to learn about what this class has to offer and educate me on. Excited to meet you all and wishing everyone a successful spring semester.
Hi Dariany – Thanks for this introduction. Sounds like you have a lot on your plate. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to me if you start to feel overwhelmed by this class. Can you please post this introduction in the appropriate place, which is under “Discussion 1” on our course site? We are all getting the hang of how the class will go and this is one important thing. There are instructions in the Discussion 1 Prompt and under announcements on our site. Thanks!!
