Today was the best day in college so far. Instead of my speech class and english class, My professors took us on a walking trip to Brooklyn Historical Society. We walked there and in the way we made 2 stops. The first stop was at the Columbus park a block up from city tech. The park is pretty big and includes the borough hall and many famous statues of the people that have made any impact. One of the statue we looked at was of Henry Ward Beecher. He is known for fighting for the freedom for the slaves and the one slave that stands out is Pinky. Beecher brought her freedom when she was being sold by her owner. The next stop we made was at the Plymouth Church. The church is where Lincoln came before he was selected as a president. Than we walked around the Brooklyn bridge. It was great to see all the construction going on, the Brooklyn bridge, the city and the Statue Of Liberty. Than we went to BHS. It has got 6 heads sculpture of famous from the history such as Shakespeare Beethoven and Christopher Columbus. inside also included the head of Pinky. That was added their 2 yrs ago by a local painter. Inside was really nice and the structure was really nice as well. We went to their library and saw a lot of interesting things and many old books were there too. Than we saw their new made classroom for college students. We talked about the policies and rules of the BHS.

I have been living here in New York for about 10 years now. The best walk that i have had is with my family to the amusement park at still will ave, now called the The Luna Park. We walked on the boardwalk to the park and it took us about 30 mins to get there. it was a really good summer night with family. I was about 10 at that time and it was really new for me. All the lights and all the Rides i had never seen that kind of park before anywhere in New York. The thing that stood our for me was really all the rides, the weather, the location, and the most important thing was i was with my whole family. We went there around 10 at night. Me,my siblings, and my cousins were just running around and having the fun. We than also walked on the sand and walked barefoot in the water by the beach. It was really nice to enjoy the weather and also the moon light on the water was really beautiful. That moment was really special because i was having the fun of my life. The beach, the sand, the wind and my family. We walked walk back home on the sand barefoot and than ate ice cream on the boardwalk as well. Those moments were really good and precious for me as what was really the last time that my whole family was there, my cousins and everybody else. That was the walk of my life so far for me.

I’ve lived in Queens for pretty much my whole entire life. Out of all the long walks I’ve had, I will never forget my senior year prom night. A bunch of friends and I decided not to go to prom because we didn’t have any interest for the once in a life time special event. Since it was one of my friends birthday, we decided to go to the city that night without planning anything at all. We ended up in St. Marks entering a pizza shop called 2 bros. It was the best dollar slice pizza I’ve ate in a while. After that we just wondered around for three hours, and amazed at the amount of people out at 3am. I didn’t know why i was surprised, but I enjoyed the feeling of being outside in the city so late with my friends and these random people. Once we left Manhattan and got back to Queens, and went to Steinway in Astoria. We played pool and then ate from one of those mobile carts outside the streets. What I noticed that morning was that there was a huge difference walking in Manhattan streets versus walking in Queens streets. In Manhattan there were many stores open where you could hang out. Plus the huge amount of people in Manhattan  made me feel more alive then the streets in Queens. Queens at 4am is like a ghost town, which made the vibe dead. That’s when it came to me. The saying “New York City is the City that never sleeps”.
