Who am I? Where am I from? Where am I going? The basic answer to these questions is that I am Jonathan Haviv from Queens and Indiana and I am attending Baruch College. In only two hundred fifty words that might be the best answer possible. But I am going to give it a shot, because that is just how I do. Also that’s what the assignment is, so I should probably answer the questions.
I am most recently from Floral Park otherwise known as FloPo. I don’t call it that but I have heard it called that. I went to high school an hour and a half away from my home because I really did not have anything better to do between six and eight in the morning everyday. High school taught me to always look at things in the best light possible and to always have fun. If you don’t then life is going to be tough.
The next importance influence on my life is the rapper Lil B. I discovered him during my junior year of high school and thought his message held a lot of meaning. Although many people believe that Lil B only releases stupid songs as a parody of rap, he actual does stand for something. If you don’t believe me just check out his speech at NYU. He talks about looking at people as more than just their race or appearance but at who they are. I think there needs to be more people who believe in that.
Now that I have given you some background on me, its time to talk about where I am going. Tomorrow I going to class and I’ll see my learning community. They are probably some of the best people I have met so far at Baruch. I don’t really know where I’m going beyond that. I still haven’t chosen my major or what I want to do with my life. I want to play in the NBA one day, and completely believe that I will if I keep practicing. I’m happy to see where life takes me and not to try to tie myself down with too many plans. Wow. I’m starting to sound like a hippie. I wonder when that happened.
