Brian Rodriguez Family Routes

My name is Brian Rodriguez and I am a student at Baruch College. I was born and raised by my parents in Bushwick which is Brooklyn New York. I grew up in New York learning mostly American lifestyles as my parents adapted to the American lifestyle as well. Both my mom and dad were born and raised in the Dominican Republic. They met each other and spent most of their lives in the Dominican Republic. In 1998 my parents came to New York to live the American dream and work their way to success. Now my parents work for me to reach my success and I am also working hard as a Baruch student to achieve my dream. I am a Dominican latino and I am proud to be one as I have no challenges to face because of my race. I don’t believe where I come from defines who I am but it is apart of me. As a Baruch freshman, I am adapting to the college life, this means cutting down time on other of my hobbies such as playing video games. So far my college experience has been great and I am looking forward to hard work and a successful semester.
