Hey everyone, my name is Anya. I'm 23 years old and I am married and have an adorable toddler son. This is my first semester at MDC and my major is Psychology. I enjoy different types of art, like playing piano, drawing portraits (when I have patience), writing, and singing (although my voice is out of practice and my range isn't too great). I enjoy watching TV (currently I'm watching Orphan Black after  finishing Breaking Bad and Mindhunter) and I love music, mainly alternative rock type music. Two of my favorite bands are Breaking Benjamin and Red. Hoping we are all successful in this course! Good luck!

Hello, Hello!! My name is Patricia Suarez. I'm 29 years old. I was born in Havana, Cuba and I have lived in Miami for the last eight years. It's my first time taking classes online and I'm still a bit disoriented but little by little. I have a beautiful 5-year-old baby, which is my greatest inspiration to resume this student stage because I want to show him that the more effort and sacrifice we put into achieving our goals more valuable the result will be.
Good Luck for everyone.

Hey Everyone!

My name is Dailen Argentel, and I'm currently pursuing an AA in pre-medicine with hopes of eventually becoming a pediatric surgeon. I was born in Havana, Cuba, but have lived most of my life in beautiful Miami. Being a full time student, as well as a full time employee makes it difficult to take all my classes in a classroom environment, which is why I opted to take this class online. When I'm not working, or studying I enjoy spending time with my family, and watching medical shows. I am a Grey's Anatomy junkie!

I wish you all a great semester!

Hey everyone!

My name is Abigail Sanchez. I’m 19 years old and my family is Cuban. However, I was born and raised in Miami. I am majoring in Biology but still uncertain what to do as a career yet but I’m hoping as I take more classes I will find what I’m passionate with. My interest includes finding all sorts of ways of eating healthy, exercising, and tutoring young kids. As for this course I’m looking forward to improve my writing skills  and vocabulary since English isn’t my strongest subject. I wish everyone the best of luck this semester.

My name is Junior Vijil and I am currently working towards an AA Degree in Criminal Justice Administration. I recently started taking college classes after a long time away from a formal education. Even though, attaining a college degree has been a long time goal, my hectic work schedule and wonderful young daughter, do not leave me much time to attend school full time. Just to mention a little bit about myself, I graduated from Miami Senior High School and left shortly after to serve in the United States Military. After my military service, I returned to Miami and have been working in the criminal justice field for over ten years. I plan on continuing my formal education past the point of an Associate Degree and hopefully applying that education to further my professional development. I am very excited to be part of this class, look forward to working with all of you and wish everyone a successful semester.

Hey everyone, my name is Yenilet Rodriguez, I'm 18 years old. I was born in Cuba and my family and I moved here when I was four. This is my second semester and first time taking a virtual class (I hope it goes well). I am majoring in Marine Biology, or I at least plan to assuming I don't change my mind. if I wasn't majoring in Marine Biology I would probably be majoring in English Literature because I love to read; English was always the subject I excelled at most in school. I own a cat and I absolutely love cats because they, like me, love to sleep every hour of the day. I've never really been outside of the U.S besides Cuba but I am going on a cruise at the end of the semester so that's something I'm super excited for. I hope to travel more in the future because the world is just full of history and beauty and I really want to explore all the amazing places it has to offer. I'm looking forward to discussing more with you guys and learning new things!

Hello everyone! My name is Milury Perez. I’m a 20-year-old Early Childhood Education major and I was born in Panama City, Panama. Although I was born in Panama, my family and I moved to Miami when I was about 2 months old and I was raised here. I was raised in Miami but my family and I have always traveled back and forth, and because of that I’m still very in touch with Panamanian culture. I'm a dog and a cat person, I have both species currently living with me and they're my lovely fur babies. I’ve always felt a sense of purpose in helping others. So, because of that, I decided to become a teacher. I hope to become an educator who feels like an anchor to their students, someone who can make them feel safe and comfortable. I’ve always had that one teacher who I’ve always spoken to and relied on for wonderful advice, so hopefully I can become that for my future students. I hope I’ve given everyone some insight about myself and I can’t wait to read everyone else’s introductions!

Hi everyone,
My name is Erika Garcia. This will be my first time attending an online course. I’m very hopeful that this is going to work out for me because who doesn’t love doing work in their pajamas! To start off with this introduction, I am not originally from Miami, FL. I moved down here from Boston, MA about 3 years ago. A bit of an adjustment I wasn’t used to the heat but now I don’t want to go back to the cold. I am married, my husband is in the military, we constantly move around about every 4 years. So, this will be our last year in Miami, FL and then who knows where we will be next hopefully its California or somewhere warm again. I am a mother of 1, a little boy named Aiden. He just turned 2 and the terrible two’s is such a thing and it started when he was 1! You really can’t ever be ready for babies. I wanted to start college again to give my family more of an opportunity. Also, I want to continue learning because there never really is too much to learn. Looking forward to finishing the semester with you guys.

Hey everyone,
My name is Sergio Pintado and like Elizabeth over here I am also a first generation Cuban American. I should let you know however, I was born and raised in Hialeah, so I think that gives me a special status. I am married to the most amazing woman in the world (12 years now) and we have three kids, well she had them, I was just in the room when they showed up.
I live in Kendall and work in downtown at the University of Miami. I volunteer with 8th grade boys at my church. as a teacher and mentor.  I finished my first college class this past semester and I am working towards my bachelors in business. I came back to school not just for myself, but my family. I am looking forward to this new chapter in my life journey, and hoping we can use each other to grow in learning.

Hi everyone I would love to introduce myself to you all. My names Elizabeth Roque, I'm from Miami Florida. I'm American however my family is Cuban. I live in the south region of Miami (Kendall). I'm 18 years old and it is my 2nd semester in college. I am currently attending the Kendall campus for my major which is Architecture. Kendall campus is one of the few campuses who offer classes for my major. However this is my first online class which I feel a little iffy about because I have never taken an online class. I'm a very punctual student and like to have face to face contact with the teacher to be sure she or he received or did not receive my work, or if I have a question. I'm taking 4 classes this semester, 2 in class and 2 in virtual college. I am looking forward to learning many new things this semester!
