I took this Photograph at Bronx Community College.  The person being commemorated is Mark Hopkins. He was known for being a famous educator and also  known for incorporating his religious background into teaching and education. The reason why I took this photography is because anyone who influence the education system to make it better it worth paying attention to.

I took this photograph at Bronx community college. The person who is being commemorated is Horan Mann he was the a member of the house of representatives from Massachusetts’s 8th  district. He was known for being part of education reform in 1837.My reflection is that it is a unique statute. I love how the college have a separate location for all their statute of  people that was famous they call the location hall of fame. It a beautiful place in the college to visit.

I took this photograph at the 9/11 memorial .The person that is being commemorated is my cousin  Elizabeth Holmes she is one out of 2,996 people that lost their life on 9/11 when New York was attached by terrorist. This was a very devastating time for my family and other family that lost loves in this emotional time. My reflection about the commemoration is that the way it was design it was so beautiful and breath taken I love the water fall that surround all the names of people that lost their life. The water fall make you feel so calm but when you look at all the people names on this concrete it make you feel nothing but sorrow. My cousin is special to me because she a wonderful loving person . She will always be missed.
