During the end of my senior year in high school an opportunity arose to travel to New York City with my friend Zach. My school’s basketball team was participating in a national tournament at Yeshiva University where Zach’s brother had an apartment nearby in Washington Heights. Hearing about safety issues in the Heights, my parents did not want me roaming around without adult supervision. Fortunately I was able to attain the backing of my Uncle Richard, who lives in the Yorkville neighborhood of
Christmas and my sixteenth birthday present my parents planned a trip for me to go to New York City with my dad. Two days after Christmas me and my dad hopped on the plane and headed for New Jersey and New York City. I was very excited because I had been to New Jersey but I never visited New York City before. I also remember being excited because of that fact that I would actually get to see snow in the winter since it rarely ever snowed in Houston during the winter. Then that next year during my junior
I loved growing up in New York City more than anything. The life I once lived was everyone 's dream life. I went to a private high school in the Upper East Side and I was always getting the new trends before they even hit the market. Me and my friends would go out to bars and clubs using our fake ids and we always found a way to get drinks and have the best time of our lives. My life was pretty awesome.

It’s a new year, and my lips still taste like the salty Tobramycin, my lungs still feel like they’re drowning, and my body is still on it’s way down. This is Cystic Fibrosis and I. I moved to this sunshine state for the warm, salty sea air. In hopes my lungs would benefit from it. Anything is better than that old New York City pollution.

My Ride Along Reflection On Tuesday, 25th October, 2016 I shadowed Judge Lisa A. Sokoloff in her position as a judge on the New York City Civil Court at 111 Center Street. In her courtroom, a small claims court, one party is represented by an attorney and the other party is generally self-represented, and the claims of damages are only allowed to total $25,000 or less. Generally, cases are settled in preference to moving further into the trial phase, in what is called a settlement conference and

Myrtle Beach vs. New York City Picture a beautiful city surrounded by tall skyscrapers soaring into the clouds and the beautiful statue of liberty standing still on the water. You walk down the street passing hundreds of little shops and restaurants, all the while you are taken a back by the breathtaking beauty of the city that you are gazing upon. Now picture laying on the beach at sunset listening to the ocean waves. The air is crisp and the smell of saltwater is bitter sweet. The locations
The Concrete Garbage Heap New York City is the centerpoint of thousands of films and pieces of literature, a city whose charm can be felt through words or pictures. Lights, brighter than life itself, blend with a cacophony of car horns and shouts to create an addictive mix of chaos. The glamour and sparkle of New York City is dramaticized to be an all encompassing feeling of wonder that one keeps with them for the rest of their lives. In the spring of this past year, the band program I participated
Cause and Effect Essay - Moving to a Large City Whoosh! That is the precise sound I heard as the crazed flock of travelers headed for the train terminal. My best friend, Stacy, and I were left disoriented and understandably confused once the crowd thinned.
