Transition Back To NY: A Short Story
It was very nice seeing you today. Sorry I have to rush back to the conference in the city and couldn't wait this afternoon after my meeting with Stefan about the papers. Hope I can stop by next time.

Since Jesse has a stable job in NY and recently his dad was diagnosed having pancreatic cancer, so we're moving his dad from CA to NY. And, I will be looking to transition back to NY and looking for jobs. And hope it's ok to ask for your being my reference as well.

Thank you very much for always being so supportive and kind. I really appreciate

    Personal Narrative: Moving To North Carolina

    We finally moved to North Carolina and I was devastated. I felt like I had to leave behind all of the friends I had just started formulating deeper bonds with. I felt like I had to start over from scratch with making friends and I missed Khalif; and finding out that he contacted me the night before we moved and I missed his call, didn't make things any easier. I never told him I was moving when I found out. I figured since we wasn’t together anymore, why bother. He found out my last day of school because my best friend and I were crying, and another student went back and told him. He approached me before the day was over, and wanted to know why I didn’t tell him I was moving. After we talked, he gave me a hug. I didn’t expect him to try to contact me that night. I didn’t find out he had called until my family and I were well in NC and I checked the caller ID box.…

    Life In The Bronx Life Summary

    As the two boys grew up, Moore was sent to military school because Mary noticed that the Bronx life was influencing him in a negative manner. On the other hand, prisoner Wes went to jail when he was around 11 years old because he almost stabbed a kid. To add on, Wes became a father at a very young age which led him to believe that the drug business was the only way he could support his family; unfortunately he was oblivious to the other options that were available for him. On the contrary, Moore became a sergeant with over 200 cadets under his wing. Unlike prisoner Wes, Moore chose to beat the odds of his predetermined life of living in the Bronx and chose to build a life of his own.Moore completed military school and served in the army, later…

    Newyork Street Chidren and the American Dream

    "New York City has a global reputation as a dynamic, wealthy, and prosperous magnet for immigrants for several centuries. Horatio Alger’s Ragged Dick exhibits a 19th century metropolis where street children—uncared for by the general public and without a safety net—struggled mightily to earn enough money for food and temporary lodging with the help of the right attributes of the possibility to achieve a modicum of success (Gerling)." It is evident that New York is an ideal center of freedom, rapid urban expansion, natural harbor and multi-cultural society. Ragged Dick further solidifies the above argument by showing that New York is a suitable playground to the visionary and ambitious irrespective of socioeconomic and racial backgrounds. In Ragged Dick, New York is as an origin of virtuous and dedicated role models who in turn provide the motivation to inculcate others in their pathways. Ragged Dick also illustrates the freedom to work, the freedom to acquire property, the freedom to study, and freedoms of all sorts were explicitly respected in New York back in the 1800’s. Ragged Dick also proves the prevalence of the principle of egalitarianism in New York, where one’s background has no effect on his or her fortune. The history of Ragged dick serves as a mirror image to the famous writer’s Caleb Carr’s belief that, “What happens in New York happens to the rest of the country....If the American society is going to succeed, it is going to find the way to do what New York has always done which is to take incredibly diverse human elements, put them together and find a way for them to tolerate each other.... (Burns)"…

    Nadia's Geography: Moving To New York City

    Nadia is an outgoing and adventurous person. She spent most of her life in the Sacramento area after moving from Stockton, she believes that being spontaneous, having a good heart and soul are the keys to become happy and succeed in life. Nadia enjoys road-trip and hiking with her friends on the downtime, and the most recent road trip that she had was a trip to Las Vegas for a music festival with her best friends. From planning to packing, the entire road trip decision was made in only an hour, and that is a perfect example to represent how spontaneous Nadia is. Nadia does not like to limit herself to do things, she thinks that being open and goes with the flow would cancel out the anxiety in the decision making process.

    Life In New York City 1950's

    Life in the 1950’s in New York was very different to the way people live today in the city. A number of things have changed to make the lifestyles and everyday life different from past generations. The transportation, tourist attraction, cost of general products and just technology in general. Transportation especially, has changed drastically. In the 1950’s trolleys, public buses and subways were common ways to get from place to place. Automobiles were common during this time too. As a result of automobiles being popular in 1957, New York installed modern fixed lighting by the highways so that travelers could have access to light 24/7 (ECM.com).…

    New York City: A Literary Analysis

    The city of New York, in the early 1900s (and even now), has been depicted in various ways through the views and experiences of its own inhabitants, tourists, passerbys, and even legends in literature; authors who have lived in and/or written about the diverse city. Some literary works have made reference to the city as a great place to be and even depicted it as “the most fatally fascinating thing in America.” (Johnson 387). While other authors have depicted New York City in a completely different light, referring to it as a place being taken over by tourists/white people or saying that it’s a dangerous place to be. Some written works that have glorified New York City are “The Autobiography of an Ex-colored Man” by James Weldon Johnson and “Paul’s Case” by Willa Cather. Some literary works that have de-glorified the city are “Sonny’s Blues” by James Baldwin and “When the Negro was in Vogue” by Langston…

    Personal Narrative: The Number Of Homelessness In New York

    I was strolling on the streets of New York City on my way to work as a science teacher at New York City Schools. I glared at the homeless people on the streets pondering, how did they get there? When I was younger there were many people living on the streets. Now that it is 2052 and I'm forty-two years old, the number of homeless people increased rapidly. I'm hoping I never end up like them. Eventually, I got to school and I went to my class. Like every day, I take a glimpse from the door and all twenty-three students were loud, throwing paper, and talking. I immediately went inside and yelled at them. For the rest of the day, I dealt with rambunctious kids.…

    Descriptive Essay: New York City

    New York City is known as a center of art, culture, fashion and finance with iconic sites such as Times Square, The Statue of Liberty, and The Empire State Building. There are certain aspects which are easily identified with New York City such as skyscrapers, rap, the subway, and Broadway. However, in my mind, there is one aspect of New York City which I feel represents the city as a whole. One place that can be found in each neighborhood with different ambiences and different people. Diners are delightful environments and food joints serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Diners show the traits which make New York City so enjoyable for me.…

    My Experience with New York

    The city lights, attractive sights, and bustling lifestyles were what I had only seen on television and dreamed of at night. I had only heard stories of this place, always imagining what it would be like to live in such a colossal city. This was a gift; my chance to do exactly what my mother did her senior year of high school. The people and places I saw, the events and experiences I got to see and do, and the memories I have the honor of carrying with me are all reasons why this trip to travel to New York City has been one of the most memorable experiences I have had in my young life so far.…
