“My experience in High School, on basketball and track teams, and briefly in boy scouting had never produced a sense of belonging or many permanent friends. The Pershing Rifles did. For the first time in my life I was a member of a brotherhood. The PRs were CCNY tradition only in that we were ethnically diverse and so many of us were the sons of immigrants”
My experience in high school on basketball and track teams and briefly in Boy scouting had never made me feel like I belong there or had any friends. The Pershing Rifles did make me feel like I had that. For the first time in my life I finally a member of a brotherhood. The PRs were the only cuny people that ethnically diverse and most of us were son of immigrants.
I think this quote is important because he explains how when he was ijn high school he didn’t feel like he was around his people and didn’t have friends. As to when he join the PRs he felt more free and saw them more as not only friends but as family and a brotherhood. I think this is also important because he relates to them and he shares the same similarities with them.
