This pretty much sums up my life at Baruch this semester, the constant struggle between the second and third photos.

For the enrichment workshop we went to an art gallery. I personally didn’t take much interest in the art, it wasn’t very appealing to me. The work was by Theresa Bernstein and featured works from different times of her life. If I had to choose a painting that I liked best it’d probably be the reading painting for it’s calm theme.

• The New York Times study revealed that about 14 million Americans are “uninsured and living in poverty.”  I’m not surprised since there are ~314 million people living in the US thus ~4% living in poverty and being uninsured is expected.  I personally don’t believe government should intervene with healthcare because no where in the constitution does it give them power to do so, in fact healthcare isn’t even a constitutional right or even mentioned in the constitution it’s simply a commodity. The extent I believe government should be responsible for assisting in providing subsidized healthcare coverage is for emergency treatment or life threatening conditions, perhaps special consideration for children under the age of 19 for clinical purposes, then after age 19 it should be the patients responsibility to find a healthcare provider.

In the slide show above you’ll find a few pictures I’ve mustered up to sort of “describe” myself so to speak. Although a couple of the photos probably speak for themselves, I’d say I picked those pictures since they showcase what I believe to be true as well as what I personally feel is important. An example would be the photo with me and a few of my old class mates; I think friendship is pretty important even though I look pissed off in the picture, I was just tired that day trust me(ahahaha yeah, no). Ever since I was a kid I had the mindset that I wanted to be physically strong not only mentally, that’s why I decided to show the picture of me as a kid trying to be a tough guy as well as a more recent picture of me at the gym with my cousins. The rest of the pictures should be easy to understand, hope you enjoy the presentation!
