The reason we chose recycling as our topic for NYT project was that recycling is such a big thing in our society. You can see recycling is important by looking at how many people are trying to recycle their trashes every day, even Baruch is promoting recycling on campus. For example, you see the phrase “clean space” almost every where you go in Baruch, and you certainly see the numerous recycling bins on every floor. Not only in Baruch, recycling is essential around the globe because every country is trying to find a way to reduce their wastes. This topic best expresses my concern in Baruch because Baruch such a “clean” school, and I really like how they are trying to categories different types of trash so we can easily recycle them, so I want to support this movement by writing about it.

Hi my name is Henry Chen, and now let me introduce myself and talk about my interest and background a little bit. I was born and raised in China until my family decided to immigrate to the United States. I finished Middle school and High school here, and now I’m happy to enter college and exited to meet more people.

I have many hobbies. One of my hobby is volleyball. I fell in love with volleyball since I was in high school. I was on a school team and we won some games against other schools. I was really exited to represent my school on a volleyball team. I still play volleyball in college during the weekend. In addition, I like to go hiking. Last summer I was hiking in the Rocky Mountains in Wyoming through a school named NOLS. I had a good time hiking there. By the end of the summer, we hiked up to over 100 miles in a month. Sometimes I even go to central park to do a little bit hiking there. Central Park is a good place for hiking in the city or picnic. Furthermore, I like to watch movies. My favorite movies is “The Day After Tomorrow”. Yes, it’s a disaster movie, but I like it because it motivates us to enjoy our lives and improve our environment. Recently, I started to workout more because everyone is so tall and big in college. I want to be like them too! That’s why I have food picture as my album, but that’s not the only reason. I love to eat!!! I just don’t gain much weight from eating. Maybe for some people that’s a good thing, but for me it’s kind of frustrating people I have to eat a lot more to get big!

Anyway that’s pretty much what I like to do in my life so far. I’m hoping to find more hobbies and interests in the future to make my life more meaningful. Also, I value great friendships. I’m hoping that I can find some good friends in college and share the things I like with them. Good luck everyone!
