11 September 2014 My Journey From Long Island to Brooklyn
“Procrastinator”, my mother yelled because I always leave things to the last minute for example: packing. Leaving home was a disappointment, but being independent will provide me success. As an original New Yorker I believe everyone has a dream of living in the city. Leaving the town where memories remain, to a city where you see millions of new faces everyday. Long Island is not that far from Brooklyn. Going from town to town the view changes and there are different “personalities” and experience one goes through living in New York. Not waking up to cozy home is going to take some time to adjust but I’m going to make my journey here in Brooklyn out of the best of it. This journey can take its spins there’s going to be good and bad days When I first got to Brooklyn Heights it wasn't the glorious city view I wanted but it was very peaceful something I was already used to. The positives of Brooklyn Heights are, the subway station right next to the dorm, and a supermarket across the street there is no need to travel far. In my eyes Brooklyn heights reminds me of a small town, it isn’t quite a drastic change for me it is a comfortable feeling. Trying out the different restaurants because there isn’t any home cooked meals is an eye opener to watch out for the “freshmen-fifteen”. One comes across a new experience everyday. Since Long Island is suburban the amount of people on the streets doesn’t compare to the enormous amount in the city. The city is just five minutes away there is never a dull moment, the first night I spent here my boyfriend surprised me with a diner night. I enjoyed being surrounded by many people that have different cultures, a strangers’ ways can impact a person by the clothes they wear or even how they talk. The subway as transportation

When I saw how much freedom I had being in high school, I was too excited. It was so much to be in and be a part of. I immediately wanted to join things, but I knew that I had to stay focus. High school is so easy to get off track, that if you don’t pay attention to what you are doing, and stays organize, you will fall in a whole. My…

Ana Gonzalez September 29, 2014 Diversity in Society Paper #1 In “The Pedagogy of the Oppressed” by Paulo Freire, Freire focuses on the causes of oppression, why it is difficult to stop it, and what one can do to help prevent it. Oppression takes away the humanity from those being oppressed and also those who oppress –it is the biggest problem of humanity. It is humanity’s biggest problem because many do not treat others as their own kind – instead they treat them like objects that do not have feelings…
The two defining wars of the decade have been the ‘War on Terror’ in Afghanistan and ‘Operation Iraqi Freedom.’ The main beginning of both of these wars would be 9/11. The attack on America including the both World Trade Centers in New York, as well as the Pentagon in Washington, and the lost plane over Pennsylvania, was the worst American disaster in history. The attacks killed over 3,000 innocent Americans. On September 18, 2001 President George W. Bush asked congress to declare war on those who…

Health Care reform in the United States is part of an ongoing debate for years and of most recent substantial legislation. Even the Presidential Elections between Obama and Romney was a big issue on the debate platforms. I will discuss some of the key issues at hand are: In what ways have recent health care reform measures expanded or inhibited access to care? How might the changes to access influence utilization? Understanding the concept of what universal health care is and how the current care…
Up until recently, interracial marriage was not a widely discussed or contested subject because of its link to the history of racism and sexism. Even today, for example, many families who follow their ancestor’s footsteps on the topic of tradition forbid their children to be married off into a random family. Similarly, in the seventeenth century colonial America, there were many strict laws that were enforced to punish blacks, women, slaves, servants, and other classes of people who engaged in…
