Hello my fellow Classmates & Professor!
My name is Amy Guan,
and I’m currently 19 years old. I am a transfer student from Cornell College in
Iowa. The reason why I transferred out of the school was because of academic
and financial issues. Cornell College is a unique college, almost one of a
kind. It is designed to have One-Course-At-A-Time so basically students take
one class for 18 days. Imagine taking classes like American Politics,
Environmental Perspectives, Ethics, and Psychology for 18 days each? That’s what I
did. Every day was like intense study day. There was not enough time in a day
to join any clubs, work, or even hang out with friends. Here at LaGuardia
Community College we do things back to the old school way of 2 terms a year instead
of 8 terms; which I highly appreciate even if I have to take 5 classes a week.
To be honest, I used to
hate New York because I have been in New York for my whole life. I hated the dirty and crowded
trains, tall buildings that blocked the sun, and how little green
we see in the city. That was one reason why I wanted to go out-state for college.
As an Environmental Science major I wanted to see more greens instead of tall
gloomy buildings. But going off to Iowa for half a year I missed everything I
hated about New York. In Iowa I couldn’t go anywhere because there were no such
things as the MTA transit system and I had to look for a ride to even just go
to a movie theater or do some shopping. Back in New York, I just can’t imagine life
without the MTA transit system no matter how much I used to complain about how slow
the trains are or how dirty the train system is. Can anyone imagine life without the MTA?
