Manhattan

Name Story Jackson. I do not know where it comes from or why I was given this name. In English my name means the son of Jack. However, I am not the son of a Jack and have no relatives with this name. I decided to solve the mystery and asked my parents how they chose Jackson. It seems it was the result of a compromise. My father wanted Atticus (because he admired Atticus Finch), and my mother liked Logan, because she thought it was unique. They both liked the sound of Jackson. They also thought…

New York. She has every designer brand, always the latest fashion, and money is never an issue. While my family is by no means that wealthy we are still pretty well off but I choose Serena because eventually she meets her boyfriend Dan who is from Manhattan and views her at first as shallow and spoiled. I often have been viewed as privileged just because of my socioeconomic status, by no means am I complaining for being blessed with financial stability but I have met people that have told me “ I…

I work in a place which surely can be defined as a cultural object of the state of New York, Bellevue Hospital, the first public hospital in the US. It is located on First Avenue between 27th & 28th Street in Manhattan. Although, most people recognize Bellevue by its psychiatric service and/or because it is the one that serves the Ebola patients; the hospital offers an ample variety of medical specialties; it is a level one trauma center, a teaching hospital and a prison. Different…

Social work, this is a career I see myself enjoying the rest of my life. I find helping people intriguing and sets a goal for what I wanna do in my career.

This got me intrigued as I was in high school searching for a major that I would to eventually incorporate into my career and lifestyle.

The moment I stepped out of the subway of 42nd Street in Manhattan, I was overwhelmed with a sense of wonder. The kind that let you know everything that there is to see on Broadway, at the same time, reminding you that you have neither the time nor the resources for such adventure. I stood still for a moment, admiring the extraordinary, bright neon signs. I took a deep breath and pulled out my phone in search of the famous Madame Tussauds Wax Museum in New York. As the location appeared on my…

the confines of Central Park — there are ghostly vestiges of a 19th century neighborhood that once was vibrant and thriving but now is largely forgotten: Seneca Village. No one knows that this prestigious and fancy park that sits in the middle of Manhattan New York City, central park, has such a repugnant history, also one that needs to be told. Seneca village, whose name suggests a Native American influence, arose when free, emancipated and escaped blacks bought property in the area in…

I have lived my life as a white, heterosexual, upper middle-class male. The community I grew up in, Ann Arbor, openly embraced these representative markers, and usually allowed me to remain in the majority. The situations in which I was in the majority, with respect to class, race, gender, sexual orientation, etc., have far outnumbered the situations in which I was in the minority. To put it simply, I have almost always been welcomed. Yet this seemed to magnify my perceptions for when I was in…
