Soft serve

Growing up in Brooklyn, in the early 90’s was one of the best experiences in my life. I remember the ice cream trucks, corner stores, fire hydrates being opened for the kids especially when there was a block party but most of all, the unity of families and neighbors. Many people will say “Brooklyn, only the strong survive” and I have lived by that phrase my entire life. It showed me the beauty of living in one of the boroughs that makes up New York City and has taught me to be a strong person. It’s not made for the weak. My neighborhood was mostly Puerto Ricans and Dominicans, so I fit right in. My parents came from the Dominican Republic to the United States in the 60’s, providing us a better opportunity to advance. I could hear the distinct melody playing, it was like music to my ears. Was it on the avenue or maybe the next block. It didn’t matter, I had to have one. Every time the ice cream truck came around, no matter if I was riding my bike or playing with my baby dolls, it was time to run. I would run inside to ask my mother for a dollar. One dollar would get me a white, fluffy ice cream cone with all the colors of the rainbow. The sprinkles were my favorite. I could see the red, white, blue, orange, yellow, and green colors so bright against the vanilla ice cream. I would ask for an extra side of rainbow sprinkles, which hardly lasted. I would sit on the stoop on our brick home, listening to my mom playing Bachata over the radio, and feeling the…

I heard my scooter wheels harshly scratching against the rocky pavement. I glanced up to see a very unfamiliar place and Pearl, my best friend. I felt my stomach growl a roar of hunger calling for food as I remembered the lunch I had a lengthy and tiring 4 hours ago. I wanted to go back to Pearl’s house to play so dreadfully. We were lost and we needed to get back home, soon. It all started when we were playing on Pearl’s driveway. We heard loud, high pitched, music booming from the icecream…

“public way”. There are many factors behind said choices. For most, they do not choose to live on the streets and panhandle for a living. Additionally, the author then goes on to talk about how after Local Law 45, there was a further deterioration of sidewalk life. How people would fight every day for the only remaining bit of legal sidewalk for their business. How vendors would fight not only other vendors, but police as well for the space. The sidewalk eventually became a first come first…

All it took for my friends to lure me into tennis was to suggest that I join the team with them sophomore year. At first it started out as something to do with my friends, but soon became a hobby and passion of mine as I learned more about the game. Tennis is a sport that involves two players hitting a ball back and forth across a net to each other using a racquet. It may sound simple, but decades have passed since the game was created and has given people time to turn the game into a highly…

In tennis, there are a few movements that are key to winning the match. When someone plays tennis they are looking for the other player to make a mistake, or to make a shot too hard for the other player to hit. The basic movements of a tennis match are serves and rallies. How a player hits the ball with their racket determines what speed, spin, and trajectory of the ball. These actions can be analyzed through the lens of a physicist to find out what exactly happens. Let’s begin with the serve.…

based and apparently “healthier” alternative to sugar. The launch of the drink was followed with a barrage of good press, which claim “the beverage contains 17 grams of sugar per 250 millilitre can, which is 18 per cent of a person 's recommended daily sugar intake, while regular Coca-Cola contains 29 per cent of a person 's recommended daily intake” (Van Benyen, 2015). Innovative steps such as these need to be adopted by the Mountain Dew brand in order to stay marketable in an industry with a…
