Hello I’m Elba Leon, I’m 19 years old and this is my last semester at BMCC. My major is in psychology, I’m taking this course because I would like to familiarize myself with the subject. I’m a first generation college student in the United States. I’m from a Mexican household and I’m bilingual. I was born in the city and raised in Queens and still reside in this borough. I love New York City because of how incredibly diverse it is.
I usually spend a lot of my time with my small immediate family and my close circle of friends, that usually recharges me, but I also enjoy being left alone as well. Im very much a people person and due to covid-19 it has in a way affected me because I use to interact with others so much.
My interests included doing nails for myself and others. Which means I could build a nail with polygel and do aprés gel-x and some nail art. In the future I would really want to work as a professional nail technician on my spare time. Im even considering saving up and opening up a nail salon with my friends, who are brilliant!
During the pandemic I have been riding my bicycle, since May 2020, I stay safe and wear my mask correctly any time that I do. I stopped biking in October because it was getting chilly and I managed to rack up 720 miles.
Love the map (Sunnyside <3) and the photos!
