Being involved in the community will change ones life. It was my senior year in high school until I realized what happens when one gets involved in their community. Being involved in the Miracle League not only helped the kids, it helped me as a person. I still remember the first time I went to the Miracle League. It was a tradition of my baseball team to go to the Miracle League once a year. I was nervous, and did not know what to expect. It was a steaming hot…

Street interactions in Koreatown vary depending on the time of day. On weekday mornings and afternoons, crowds are demographically older. Most people are Korean and walk alone, not engaging with each other. The block feel like a passageway, so in addition to Koreatown residents and visitors, some pedestrians walk through Koreatown to get somewhere else. These people usually walk quicker and look around less than those here for food and shopping. In the evenings and on weekends, the crowds are…

Sometimes it’s difficult for me to remember every place has a history regardless if residents care for it or not. However, it’s the most difficult when I think about the borough I live in, The Bronx. During my senior year of high school, I received an invitation from The Bronx County Historical Society to join an event.

The piece was written by Freddie Mercury in 1975 for the bands album: A Night at the Opera. I believe…

The Snow Queen Recently, I had the chance to see The Snow Queen by Hans Christian Anderson at Park Square Theater. The play presented itself different from the time the viewer walked in. When walking in, viewers were greeted with a friendly staff, whose goal was to make each persons view easier and more enjoyable. At first glance, the stage looked different from what most would come to expect. The theater itself appeared clean and prepared for an audience expecting something similar to…

noble woman and man. As Laila paced to get to the queens room she over hear, “Heard there is roast duck, and they are going to sever warm bread with butter.” Than “Butter! Blah. I like jam, strawberry or apricot is my favorite!” Laila rounded the corner to see all the ladies-in-wait outside. Looking to one of the lady's-in-wait, who was also the oldest. “What is happening?” asked Laila. “Oh!…

Élisabeth-Louise Vigée-LeBrun, a Rococo era painter turned Neoclassical, was born in Paris on April 16, 1755. She lived to be eighty—seven as “one of the foremost portraitists in Europe at the end of the eighteenth century and during the first three decades of the nineteenth” (NGA, web) (May, 1). Spanning a long career with over 600 paintings, Vigée-LeBrun is “characterized” and marveled “…as the much sought-after portraitist of not only European royalty and nobility, but also of notable…
