Leo Nin
When we went on the walk on Monday, we went by some places that I had never been by even though I have been a student at Baruch for almost a year. It made me think of this neighborhood in comparison to the neighborhood I live in and roles I play in each. I realized that they are not much different. Walking by Gramercy Park reminded me of Bowne Park in my neighborhood, especially when I saw the youths playing basketball. In both parks, groups of people get together to play basketball, football, or another sport to just have fun and forget about everything else for a while. This also made me think of how my role in each neighborhood and if it changes. My main role at home is to be a good son and brother and a trustworthy and loyal friend. It also consists of other things such as being a good employee when at work and just being an overall good citizen. Although I also have friends here at Baruch, my main role here shifts a little to being a hardworking student and making sure the opportunity I have here is not wasted. Although the roles may seem different, they both strive toward the goal of being the best person I can be.
