“I am a 17-year-old from Jamaica, Queens, currently attending Uncommon Charter High School in Brooklyn. I’m passionate about reading and enjoy spending my free time exploring works by authors like R.F. Kuang. I also love crocheting and engaging in consumerism. My career goal is to pursue international relations and foreign affairs, driven by a desire to change the world. I am dedicated to making a positive impact and hope to contribute to fostering understanding and cooperation between different cultures. I am particularly interested in addressing global challenges such as climate change, human rights, and economic inequality. I believe that effective communication and collaboration between nations can lead to sustainable solutions and a more peaceful world.”

“My family is from Guyana. I'm 15 turning 16 in November. I'm a student at Forest Hills High school. I have lots of hobbies: I draw a lot, make edits, be weird. I wanna be either a paleontologist, animator, archaeologist, and a few more things but mainly a paleontologist. Why? Because I always loved dinosaurs since I was a kid and there's always more to learn from this field.“

“I'm from Venezuela, I'm 15 years old and I attend Atlas High School. Some of the things I like to do in my free time are going to the park or walking with my friends.

“Hi, I'm Jade! I'm currently 21 years old. I was born and raised in Queens, New York, and am presently a lower senior at CUNY Queens College in Flushing. Some of the things I enjoy doing in my spare time are writing, taking hikes through Forest Park, collecting rocks/plushes, and playing video games (particularly of the Pokémon variety). Many people have told me I should author my own book someday, so that's something I'd like to do in the far off future. As for what I want to do in the meantime, I'm still in the process of figuring that out. Aspiring for one career or another isn't really something I tend to do, since I simply like living by the beat of my own drum!”

“I’m Indo-Caribbean/Guyanese. I am 15 years old and I attend Townsend Harris high school. During my free time I enjoy attending dance classes. As of right now I think that I would be interested in being a physical therapist because I used to have scoliosis. When I used to go to physical therapy, I realized that the people who worked with me were really caring and supportive towards me. After I got results saying that I no longer have scoliosis I realized that being a physical therapist might be something that I can see myself doing in the future.”

“I’m from Colombia. I'm 18 years old and I attend to Queensborough Community College. My hobbies are hanging out with my friends and doing crafts or reading. I would like to become a veterinarian and work with the wildlife or for the protection of animals in risk of extinction. Since I was a kid, I used to see how many animals went extinct because of human beings and how poor the quality of life is of wildlife species. My uncle has a vet where I used to go every year and help him with easy tasks - I love that place.”

“I was born in NY but my ethnicity is Guyanese (both of my parents were born in Guyana). Currently I’m 20 years old attending New York Institute of Technology pursuing my bachelors degree in Architecture. I do art and gardening in my spare time as a way to decompress. Since I’m pursing my degree in architecture I do want to become an architect but we shall see what’s in store.”
