A World Changer

Hi all,

I have not written a new blog post for awhile now. So, I am going to post some updates.

First of all, last month I was able to visit Philadelphia, Pennsylvania for the day. Philly, also known as the city of brotherly love,  has such a rich culture! The 'touristy' areas were filled with high end shopping centers similar to those on 34th Street. I enjoyed exploring this city which has a great amount of history. The founding fathers might have walked on some of those same streets that I walked on...or maybe that's what I would like to think :D The Liberty Bell still has its famous crack running up the middle. It was great to actually see it up close. And the classic Philly Cheese steak rocked!! I literally waited in line for an hour just to try the famous sandwhich with melted mozzarella cheese =] I even experienced Philly's Magic Gardens. I cannot wait to go back and see it during the day. They created the mosaics out of many different materials...just think what can be done with a little bit of human labor and creativity.

I think being in such a historical city gave me a new sense of American pride. Those who are not Americans who visit places such as Philly and Washington D.C. go for the cliche mementos. I ,as an American, felt that I actually recognized the importance of those who fought to establish the United States of America. Most importantly, I am glad that America was founded under God. I believe that our country will continue to succeed as long as we give glory to God, because it is through him that all out this success has happened.

Spring has finally arrived after this mild winter. Macy's has its annual Flower Show going on right now on 34th Street. So, I am always able to catch the floral aromas. Before I came here, I did not enjoy drinking tea ,but now I have found that I like bubble tea which is actually milk, tea and tapioca pearls. I found a new cafe that has a variety of bubble teas and I will visit again soon.

As some may know, our college currently resides in the Empire State Building but now we are moving to the Financial District. We have classes in the basement and know we are moving to the same area where the New York Stock Exchange is housed.  We are rising up!! Overall, I am excited for the Fall semester. New classes, new church, and new experiences in Brooklyn! WHOO-HOO
