Hello everyone! Good morning or afternoon (or whatever time you are reading this), my name is Kadeza Ahmed and it is an honor to be apart of this wonderful class with you all. I am an Accounting major, but truth be told, I am unsure if I will be sticking with it. I might switch to Marketing since I like to interact and connect with new people. I truly enjoy getting to know new people and meeting people from different backgrounds and upbringing, as well as creating a sense of community. Anyways, I honestly don’t know how to start with this post, but a few things about me is that I love cats (I have four cats and I actually have three generations of them!), I enjoy good company, and I love to explore different parts of New York City whenever opportunities prevail. Although I do enjoy doomscrolling (as mentioned in class), I also like to draw/sketch and I read here and there whenever I find an interesting book (Mystery/Horror/Romance)– I would consider myself more of a History/English person than a Math/Science one, which is ironic because I’m at Baruch… I have always been interested in learning more about the arts aspect of New York City, and have not always gotten the time to do so (as it has not been my main focus honestly up until getting into Macaulay), so I am eager to venture out and explore different kinds of arts in the city we call home, as well as collaborate with peers to discovering a variety of art forms. I have visited some art institutions exposing me to the different kinds of arts/cultures in New York City such as MOMA PS1 in Long Island City, and Museum of Chinese in America (MOCA) nearby Canal street. I truly love to learn more about art expressions/cultures different than mine. I come from a Bengali-American household and am the youngest of three. I will be a first-gen graduate student too! I like to keep myself active by going on brisk walks and just moving around (going to the gym is a work in progress), and I actually used to play softball in highschool as well. I really do not know what to expect for these next four years, but I hope to make meaningful connections and graduate with useful, and wise knowledge, to carry on for the rest of my life. Nonetheless, this is an introduction of who I am, and I look forward to having this class! Attached below is an image of me with my cats, and the sound is my favorite song. See you guys soon!
Hi Kadeza, how lovely to see that you love cats so do I! Also, it’s so comforting seeing that someone else is not 100% sure about their major because I usually have the idea we have to have everything figured out
