Hey,

My name is Antolin German. I’m originally from the Bronx, but I moved to Port Chester, which is in West Chester County. I’m majoring in Finance. After college, I plan on being a Financial Advisor somewhere; I don’t know exactly where. Although I am majoring in finance, I don’t know if that’s something I’d want to do for the rest of my life. You’re probably asking yourself then why are why you are majoring in this field? I’ve watched my family’s business burn to the ground due to my father’s poor choices with money, and I refuse to do the same with my business. Yes, I do have my own business. I started my clothing line in January 2022. It’s actually one of the accomplishments I’m most proud of. Me accomplishing one of my goals/dreams was a confidence booster. Many people, including my family told me I couldn’t do it, and proving them wrong was what I needed to gain back my confidence.

The next “long term” goal I’d like to accomplish is graduating college. I intend to graduate from New Paltz. Although there’s been some rough patches here I wouldn’t want to graduate anywhere else. New Paltz has accepted me with open arms and I couldn’t be happier to say I’m part of the SUNY New Paltz community.
