Did I translate my introduction correctly?

I haven't taken spanish in awhile and now I have to write an introduction in spanish as an assignment. I believe this is correct but not entirely sure:

.

Hola clase, mi nombre es (name). Soy de (city name) y soy un estudiante de cuarto año a (school name). Estudio la política y recuerdo español de las clases en la escuela secundaria. Mi grado requiere dos clases de idiomas para graduarse. Esto es mi segunda clase en línea.

.

I left blanks as to not reveal personal info. My main concern is whether "Estudio la política y recuerdo español" should be left as is or if "recuerda" should be "recordar" due to forgotten conjugation rules. My last question is if "Esto" is used correctly in the last sentence.

.

English Translation: Hello class, my name is (name). I am from (city) and am a fourth year student at (school name). I study politics and remember Spanish from classes in high school. My degree requires two language classes to graduate. This is my second online class

.

Thankfully this is a one time thing but I still do not want to mess it up. Thanks for the help.

Hi. Your introduction is pretty good, but it have some mistakes. 1. "Soy un estudiante de cuarto año en (school name)" 2. "Estudio política y recuerdo español de ..." 3. "Esta es mi segunda clase en línea"

.Hola clase. Mi nombre es...............Soy de .........y soy estudiante de cuarto año de ................Estudio política y me acuerdo del español de las clases de(la escuela) secundaria. Mi carrera requiere ( or pide or necesita) dos clases de idiomas para graduarse. Ésta es mi segunda clase en línea (or you could say it "online" as in English.)

Instead of "política" I would say "ciencias políticas".
The word "carrera" is your area of study.
