My name is LiLiu, you can call me Li. My major is Early Childhood Education, and I want to be a teacher. Because I like to communicate and interact with children, I used to be a full-time assistant teacher, and this work experience made me know my career direction. I like this job very much, and any activity with children makes me happy. Also, I chose this major because I also hope I can become a qualified mother in the future. I hope I can understand my children and guide them in a better way. On the other hand, I like reading books, especially detective stories. My favorite author is Agatha Christie who was a British detective novelist. I look forward to the interaction with professor and classmates. Nice to meet you all.

Hello everyone, My name is Destiny, I completed my first year at BMCC. I am currently majoring Psychology, still not sure if this is what I truly want to keep pursuing just yet. I am 20 years old, Im hoping to get my associates and transfer to either Mercy College or back to John Jay. My hobbies include Dancing and art. Im looking forward to getting to know everyone in the class, staying connected and passing.

Hello Professor and class, my name is Nikita Vasilyev. This is my second semester at BMCC, I started with an A.S. in Digital Marketing but then changed it to A.A. in Communication Studies. I’m planning to graduate from BMCC by the end of the year and then continue my education at Baruch. I currently work for Macy’s Marketing department in Long Island City where the company’s e-commerce photo studio is located.

I live in Bushwick with my girlfriend Jess and our rescue cat that responds to whistles and other methods of getting her attention. Some of my interests are history, philosophy, linguistics, healthy lifestyle and media.

Looking forward to meeting you all and having an amazing semester.

Thank you!
