When I have free time, I like to paint and try new things. Over the summer I participated in a group that helped plant trees, picked up trash, and painted old benches at a park.
My family and I are so excited to be able to foster a rescue dog and we really cannot wait to have one in our home!
Meet Our Alumni
Christopher
I am Mexican American, born and raised in Queens, New York. I will be attending New York City College of Technology.
Some of my hobbies include playing various sports, discovering new places, and listening to and discovering music. I want to study sports management, leading to a career in sports marketing or becoming a sports agent. After I graduate from college I also want to travel the world and learn new things.

Jennifer
Both my parents are Chinese, but I was born and raised in New York. I spend my free time doing a variety of things. Sometimes after school, I am on the field practicing softball or playing a game with my varsity high school team. I also enjoy going to the gym and playing basketball. Beyond athletics, my hobbies also include more creative activities. Bullet journaling is a new hobby I recently started to help better organize my life and to jot down random notes. For relaxation, I often paint and draw.
I will be attending Yale University, where I’m thinking of majoring in Humanities. Throughout high school, I’ve always been fascinated by the study of history—it enables me to learn about events and people in a multitude of contexts that I was previously unaware of. I’m also interested in Education Studies because of my desire to better understand the significance of education and how the system functions. I hope to use that understanding to help break existing education barriers.
Once I graduate from college, I plan to attend law school. My dream job is to become a lawyer. Although I’m not sure which type of lawyer I want to be, I still want to spend time working with young, underrepresented minorities. If I don’t end up practicing law, I may pursue a job where I can advocate for better education systems.
I fostered Jasmine.
