Where do seniors see themselves in 10 years? The news staff asked eight seniors about their hopes for the future. Note: A version of this also appears in the yearbook, which was distributed on May 31.
Fahim Chouldhury: In 10 years, I see myself in the countryside with a family of two twin boys and a farm I own that is full of cows, chickens and exactly one rooster to wake me up everyday. I picture myself changing the diapers of the kids while the mother isn’t home.
Christi-Alexis Cisse: In 10 years I plan to be a successful managing registered nurse. I studied at Hunter College. I live in Mount Vernon with a small gray house that I will share with my husband and kids in the future. I’m studying for my masters degree in nursing to become a nurse practitioner. I want to be able to have time to achieve my goals in life and also have time for myself to travel.
Dylan Maloney: I see myself owning twp businesses and becoming an entrepreneur, then eventually getting myself a small little house and getting that fluent income”.
Breanna Yuen: “In the future I see myself graduating from City Tech and hopefully finishing up nursing school. In the process of saving up for a house. Depending on my income I would live in an area that is affordable, but my ideal place would be Texas with two cats.”
Andres Garcia: “In 10 years, I’m going to be on a farm with my wife and 10 kids. I’m going to have 5 chickens, 2 horses, and 1 cow. I will live out the rest of my days on the arm and make occasional trips to the city.”
Felix Romero: “In 10 years, I see myself being a mechanical engineer. I want to be financially stable enough to take care of my family and kids if I have any, and go on vacations whenever I want to.”

Darnell Francis-Mozon: “In 10 years, I see myself being a better person. I see myself going to a trade school and becoming a music teacher helping my students pursue their dream in music.”
