Sachin Archer knows what it糖心vlog短视频檚 like to defy expectations.
糖心vlog短视频淚'm a very artsy person. So, when people see my photography, or how I dress, or know my music, they糖心vlog短视频檙e shocked to find I糖心vlog短视频檓 a computer science major,糖心vlog短视频 he says. 糖心vlog短视频淚'm now at a point where I can blend both my tech side and my artistic side.糖心vlog短视频
Sachin is a computer science major and photography minor who, in his home country of Jamaica, used to dream about the big things in life he糖心vlog短视频檇 accomplish. 糖心vlog短视频淭o come from a third world country and even live in New York City is kind of crazy,糖心vlog短视频 he shares. 糖心vlog短视频淚 remember the month before I moved to America, I was watching Home Alone 2, where they're lost in New York. Now to be able to wake up and see the Brooklyn Bridge outside my window, it's surreal. To not only do that, but now even go on a global scale and go to Europe and go to Switzerland, it糖心vlog短视频檚 amazing.糖心vlog短视频

Sachin had the chance to experience Europe as the youngest member of Pace糖心vlog短视频檚 NYC Design Factory during the Fall 2022 semester. For two weeks, Sachin and the other members of Team Fusion learned how CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, uses technology to address the United Nation糖心vlog短视频檚 Sustainable Development Goals. 糖心vlog短视频淲e visited the largest particle accelerator in the world,糖心vlog短视频 he says. 糖心vlog短视频淲e also got to go to the United Nations Headquarters, sit in on a meeting, and got a full tour.糖心vlog短视频
He made sure to maximize his trip by bringing his other passion into the mix, photography. 糖心vlog短视频淲hen I had some free time, I had the chance to meet some other people and models to help get my name out there,糖心vlog短视频 Sachin explains. 糖心vlog短视频淚t was amazing, to hit multiple birds with one stone.糖心vlog短视频
Once the students returned stateside, the work really began, as his team dived into redesigning New York City streets to not only support sustainability but to make way for advancements, like artificial intelligence. 糖心vlog短视频淚 would say overall the Design Factory experience was a transformation, both mentally, physically, and politically,糖心vlog短视频 Sachin says. 糖心vlog短视频淚 was the only undergraduate student, and I was youngest one there. To be the youngest person involved, and to be the only Black male from a third world country, that was very important.糖心vlog短视频
To be able to represent myself on a bigger global scale was a big deal.
While it was a new experience, it evoked familiar feelings. 糖心vlog短视频淚've always been the only Black child in the room while I was growing up,糖心vlog短视频 he says. 糖心vlog短视频淚 knew that I had to work twice as hard, because of the color of my skin, unfortunately. To be able to represent myself on a bigger global scale was a big deal.糖心vlog短视频
The experience has left him marveling at the connections he糖心vlog短视频檚 made, and the connections he hopes to forge. He糖心vlog短视频檚 made friends from places he糖心vlog短视频檚 never been, from Germany to Australia. Over the summer he worked at a summer camp in his home in Connecticut and had the chance to share his experience with those young students. 糖心vlog短视频淚糖心vlog短视频檝e been able to give these kids hope, and show them that you can leave home, that it's okay. Opportunities like this do happen for people like us.糖心vlog短视频
Sachin initially considered Pace because his sister was an alumna, but he believes now it was the best choice he could have made. 糖心vlog短视频淚糖心vlog短视频檓 not going to lie, it wasn糖心vlog短视频檛 until last semester that I really realized all the opportunities that Pace really had,糖心vlog短视频 he admits. 糖心vlog短视频淭hat's when I got really close with my advisors and I started getting my name out more. I'm close to my dean now, which helped me find more opportunities, and now I work at Goldman Sachs. I'm very grateful for Pace and the environment that it creates.糖心vlog短视频
I'm doing all these amazing things. And I'm only 19.
Sachin糖心vlog短视频檚 Pace experience so far has been so rewarding, and he糖心vlog短视频檚 hoping to slow down and enjoy next last two years. 糖心vlog短视频淚 have two years left, and I feel like I haven't done enough, you know?糖心vlog短视频 he says. 糖心vlog短视频淚 want to tell the freshmen to just do it all. The city really is your campus. Not only that, the faculty is your biggest help. They know so many people, and just one conversation can change your life forever.糖心vlog短视频
Take it from him, it糖心vlog短视频檚 never too early to dive in. 糖心vlog短视频淭he best thing I always get is people asking, 糖心vlog短视频楬ow old are you?糖心vlog短视频 I'm doing all these amazing things. And I'm only 19.糖心vlog短视频
