Hi! My name is Jocelyn Cruz. I am from a little town on Long Island called Locust Valley, and now attend school at Baruch College in New York City. My intended major is Finance or Accounting, but I am unsure since I have not taken any classes for this major to date. I enjoy mathematical work and that is why I am focusing on a business major and career. Although I love being in the city, I am planning to transfer next semester to a university with more of a campus environment. I chose Greenwich Village and the Gay Rights Movement because of my two uncles who are both a big part of the gay rights movement. One uncle lives on Christopher Street which was the hub for this movement. Growing up I spent a lot of time with my family in this area and learned so much about the neighborhood history. It is an important part of NYC culture and that is why I chose this topic for my English 2100 final blog/paper. Enjoy!
