Hello fellow Classmates & Prof Waychoff my name is Alpha Diallo. I’m 20. I was born in September. I grew up in Brooklyn, New York most of my life. I’m majoring In Health science. It is an interesting major to me. Studying and learning about different subjects of health is what I look forward to doing this year. Other than worrying about school. I have some other hobbies that keep me occupied. Things such as skateboarding, painting, reading and cooking or baking. Those are some of the things I value the most. I Dream to one day be a Happy healthy and wealthy adult, have a family of 2-3 kids, work in a career that helps people wellness in general. See my mother and father rest knowing I made something of myself. If I was asked who I am culturally and where I am from … I would say I’m born in America, but my parents are from Africa, and they were born there making me African. I’m a Male, my pronouns would be he him & his.
To be honest like others this class was a degree requirement and seemed better than many of my other options. Using common sense and looking at the subject I can tell I’m doing gender studies. Maybe we will be looking into the issues of sex, gender and sexuality in many ways, watching films, reading, having group conversations about certain topics is how I think we will learn about these things. A subject I hope we cover is the Impact of Discrimination on The Development of Boys and Girl. It is something I think I should learn more about.
