Long Island, NY

Long Island, New York, an empire state in its own right has many residents and numerous personalities. It’s population ranks #1 in the country and could be the 12^th most populous state if it were actually state. This city just east of Manhattan has the history and prestige that other countries on our planet could only dream of. Michael Jordan called this place home, so has 4 of our United States presidents. Perhaps the most intriguing resident is Amber who has been a resident of Long Island for the majority of her life.

A normal day in Long Island for Amber is just going to school, at any means necessary. During the winter Amber says, “I have to shovel the snow out of the driveway and you have to make sure that you never go to fast or you brake to fast or you’ll go sliding all over the street.”

The school in question, “was a very diverse school”, according to Amber. Numerous personalities and a wholesome, unity based atmosphere made her leaning experience all the more better. So much so that she said, “In high school down here (Fl), the stuff I learned in 9^th and 10^th grade, I had already learned in 8^th.”

Amber also alluded to the fact there are plenty funs to do in Long Island. She mentioned the festival in February tailored to Italians and Puerto Ricans, which also encompasses the true unity and togetherness previously mentioned.
