Arriving to the airport I initially felt very elated that I would be going to the city again however my mother was not feeling so hot. The first time that I travel to New York City I was only 15 and I had to save up for three years prior to my departure. New York City is like a drug that pulses through your veins when you get to experience it. I remember when I had to leave the city for the first time, it was the only thing that was on my mind for weeks. Then after that, all I ever did was crave the pulse and symphony that is NYC. I wanted to be gone so badly, I was ready and set and nothing could impede me from getting back to the place that I had missed so much. My mother was seeing me off and I recall her crying and calling me “independent”, which I should state, she instilled in me. With my first trip to the city I thought that it was sort of structured and I did most touristy thing. My cousin, who I now consider to be one of my best friend’s lives in Manhattan, she is the most delightful host! I knew that I wanted my second trip to have a sense of spontaneity, and I knew she would provide. I wanted to explore more, and meet people. When I arrived in New York I was feeling very anxious, I just wanted to be at my cousin’s apartment already. I went to baggage claim, then meandered to the taxi line, caught a cab and was on my way! My cousin has lived in the city for over six years, she has graciously allowed me into her world. She is one of, if not the most
My family and I went to Chicago, for a family reunion. We took a plane there and you could see everything, windmills, houses ,roads, field, and clouds. The flight was only about one hour long from Omaha to Chicago. When we got to the airport in Chicago and there were people shoulder, a bunch of people in line to board planes. The only thought that went thought that came to my mind, was that when we come back to go home we will wait for hours to board the plane to take us back to Omaha.
New York is a state where there are big lights and lots of people and busy streets. I live in Brooklyn, New York and I was born here and I have lived here all my life. Personally, where I live I can walk to go get groceries that I need and everything is in walking distance. I take the public subway or the bus to get to school and there are many public schools here in Brooklyn, New York. There are delis and corner stores almost around every block. Here in Brooklyn, it is very noisy and busy. I am so used to the noise that I can sleep soundly even with all the noise that surrounds my house. Personally, I think that if I were not born here or was not a New Yorker, I would plan to move here when I get older.
I hope your Tuesday afternoon is going terrific. I am Miten Bhadania and I would like to formally introduce myself as your colleague working in the Tech department as Developer.
New york is realy big city. Everybody imagine to live or visit there. That is the dream city.
New York is a place with a diversity and plenty of room to grow in any direction you choose. New York City is a place of many opportunities. It gives me a feeling that I can accomplish anything I set out to do.
Living in New York definitely takes a toll on the common man. Symptoms resulting from the aforementioned condition include a nasty attitude, fast paced walking and defeated eardrums. Personally, I empathize with those three characteristics and then some. However, living in New York does have its beneficial side effects. As a direct result of New York’s exotic diversity, monstrous crowds and wondrous landmarks, I’ve transformed into an open-minded, stronger and observant individual.
On a day in which the sun was shining like a new fluorescent light bulb, I sat on a heated metal bench that was located in front of a large, stone fountain where a brace of ducks lingered, and I began to read Chasing Brooklyn.
The busy streets of New York City, filled with skyscrapers and food carts is the city that I grew up in. As an immigrant, New York City is one of the greatest cities to live and grow in. From it’s unlimited opportunities to the multicultural population, it has created a whole new society consisted of integration amongst different people.
It was Thanksgiving break and I could not, for the life of me, fall asleep. Given the trend of binge-watching Star Wars with my two older brothers over the previous week until well past midnight, it did not surprise me. So I went downstairs to the living room and picked up my Mom’s latest read, “Humans of New York.” As I opened it I couldn’t help but chuckle, “Mom, reading a picture book? She’s usually a serious reader.” However, as I read the captions to each picture, a realization dawned upon me. There was a common element threaded throughout the stories. Life, can be a struggle. It is one long game and you only get to play once. We all deal with life differently, take different routes, and end up in different places. But the important thing
When you think of New York, most people imagine the great sky scrappers, the beautiful lights at night, The New York Yankees, and of course hectic traffic. New York City and its citizens have always demonstrated a toughness and grit that have historically defined the city and those who live. Often times, New Yorkers have been considered the bully, rude, and obnoxious type. Of course there are some unfriendly New Yorkers, but the city and is more than that. Without some of those obnoxious yelling taxi drivers, New York would not be New York. People often imagine the bad or more crazy part of New Yorkers rather than the good. Humans tend to do that in most situations. The frantic way of living in constant motion is what makes New York great.
My move to NYC ended up being an abrupt push into adulthood that was more daunting than I expected. I found myself in a large,expensive city.Due to my family’s financial situation,all costs of living were on my shoulders, and I attended a university with a demanding course load. I found myself needing to learn to manage my time, make money, and navigate this foreign place. This led to a rocky start academically. Determined to succeed, I considered all my resources: college events, my advisor, and academic centers. I created an increasing trend in my GPA,and I took a major I was passionate about.I worked multiple jobs sometimes up to 30 hours a week, while still gaining unique life experiences. Although my path to this point may have been
When I was a child, I’d heard of New York City and it’s splendor, but I’d never seen a picture of the city itself, or heard anyone describe it in full detail. My nonchalant attitude took a complete one-eighty when the Christmas film Elf was released. In the film, the city is displayed from the sidewalk to the top of the Empire State in a short two minutes. Two minutes was all it took for six year old me to become completely enamored. I planned out my entire life living in a high rise apartment in Times Square, going out every day to explore the city until I knew every corner and building by name. At the time of the band trip, however, New York had become much
The sounds of the city penetrated the walls of the cab as we drove through the streets of Manhattan. I could hardly wait to partake in the action that was happening outside. The buildings themselves were an amazing site to behold. The buildings took on personalities of their own. Each building was bigger and more graceful than the next. When lights were added to the mix it was a dazzling combination. The city itself felt like a great big hug, and I felt overwhelmed by its power. The city allowed me to become part of it just like many others many years ago who immigrated to this awesome city. As I was looking out of the cab I finally got to see in person the sight of all sights; Times Square. The main juncture of
When we arrived in New York City, a nice man with a black car took us to our hotel.. We checked in our hotel and set off in the beautiful city of New York. When we took our first walk along Times Square, a strong odor of sewage and street food hit our noses. New York will always have that special
I went to Burger King with three friends. We walked a long way then I
