Hello guys. I hope everyone are doing great. My name is Merichel Almonte. I’m from Dominican Republic but now I’m living in Long island. I’m 18. My major is Liberal Art because when I get here . I was having a lot of problem because everything was a new system . I had a big changed because I left my mom in Dr and I’m not living with my dad either. In the beginning everything was hard for me, but I always try my best because I want to make feel proud to my parents. I was having problem when I was in High School because how you know here the students don’t have a grade by the age , they have a grade of they history and the work the have made. I was supposed to be in 10 Grade but they said no and put me in the 9 Grade. One thing that helped me to graduate in the year that I was supposed to , was that I passed all my Exams quickly and in my last year 12 grade for me I was doing the 11 grade but not, because in the half of the year they told me that I was in 12 Grade. I didn’t have any an idea and I was force to do applications for Colleges at last time. For that reason in that moment I don’t have any idea about a student college life, because they don’t give me the oportunite and either the time to think and get the right information. Other thing that happened to me was the Cov start the same year of my 12 Grade. I don’t have a Prom and nothing. The 2020 was hard for everyone and more for me because in that year I was having the hope to get for information about College , to get a Good major something that I love. But I never have the chance. Everything was closed and I never have someone to help me. In one point in my life I feel like falling down, not help , not hopes, not motivation and with nothing that I really like to study in College. So, I start with my major Liberal Arts until I decided. In my first semester at Bmcc I was searching for majors but nothing got my attention. With the past of the time. I start realize that the things I like are a career but in Bmcc they don’t have it. I decided to finish my major and see what will be happen in the future. If my major don’t work out, I will like to open my own business or a Beauty Salon for Curly Hair.

I hoping to get a New major when I get done at Bmcc. I want to learn more English because sometimes is hard for me to talk with other people. I want to be succeful in this Class and Learn about everything.
