During class today, I was able to get to know Aleyah! She is currently a junior at QC studying poly-science and psychology, with a long term goal of becoming a lawyer. She commutes to QC from her house in Queens Village. But, she is not originally from the United States. When she was nine years old, her parents decided to move here from Guyana in hopes for a better life. She also has one younger brother, who is 21 years old. Her birthday is October 23rd, which makes her a Scorpio. We shared a similar love for food, although her favorite would be pasta or anything cheesy. Her favorite restaurants are Applebee’s and Red Lobster. Although she doesn’t have much free time between school and work, she does enjoy reading, watching movies or TV and listening to music. Both her favorite book and movie genres are mystery, thriller and action. Her favorite TV shows are Grey’s Anatomy or any other doctor show. She enjoys listening to reggae, hip hop and soca music. Her favorite colors are purple and light green. She is very scared of bugs and heights. She also believes that her strongest personal quality is her ability to care and help others. She has an overall optimistic view on the world and wants to make it a better place. Overall, Aleyah is so great and I’m looking forward to getting to know her better this semester!
