In the double digits, that’s fun.

I wanted this journal post to be about my appreciation for the resources available to me thanks to the wonderful City College.

I applied to this school with the hopes of pursuing a career in medicine through a business degree. A week before classes started I switched majors and my advisor at the Science Division Ms. Harper as well as Ms. Paula Oyebisi of the Collin Powell School worked with me so generously and answered all my questions. The transition went so smoothly and I am grateful.

I was just in time to sit through the new student seminar by the Collin Powell School and it was so informative and the speakers were so positive. To summarize the advice given, “make the most of your opportunities” was the main trend. I really took this with me.

I check my city college email on a daily basis looking for opportunities that are available. There are paid internships, informational seminars from companies that partner with the school, as well as campus wide activities to take part in.

City College also offered me, the Science Department, a class over the summer to give me an advanced placement in math. This is also something I am very grateful for since I feel more comfortable in my current math class.

The classes that I am in are all great. The articles I read, the material I learn, the people that I engage with are all amazing.

I really am glad that I have chosen City College. They build such a friendly community and have such amazing opportunities available.
