The New York Times project was definitely a very interesting project to have. Our group, the high notes, could only agree on one common interest and that was music. That is also the reason why we are called the high notes. The group figured that since everyone’s life is somehow shaped by the music they listen to, we would have a lot to present and that people would be very interested in the articles that we would have for the audience. We decided to explore mostly classical music such as Yo-Yo Ma, who is world famous for his cello playing. Also, we wanted to explore the effects of classical music and achievement. After reading the article about music and achievement, we found that music opens the door for creative thinking that might not have been triggered without music.

Aside from our major theme of music, my fellow group member and I decided to write our New York Times article about the social fraternities of Baruch College, specifically Lambda Phi Epsilon. This group is based on the Asian culture and is a social fraternity where the guys in the fraternity will meet many new people. Not everyone could join though because the fraternity was very selective. Overall, going to the general events was a really great experience for me because I got some kind of feeling as to what fraternity life would be like. I got to know some of the brothers in the fraternity and how they felt about the whole idea of brotherhood. This experience of the New York Times project was a good one.
