Big City! Big Dreams! Big Lights will Inspire Me!

"In New York,
Concrete jungle where dreams are made of,
Theres nothing you can't do,
Now you're in New York,
these streets will make you feel brand new,
big lights will inspire you,
lets hear it for New York, New York, New York"


Who can say it more perfectly than New York's very own Jay-Z and Alicia Key's? Tomorrow morning I am moving to New York for the summer because I was offered an Editorial Internship with People Magazine en Espanol. Basically, I'll be helping the writers by cropping photos, researching information to be posted on their website. New York is an expensive city however, they told me that I will be living in the dorms of Columbia University, which is about a 30 minute subway ride through the tubes of the BIG City! In all honesty, I'm nervous as &%*# but this will be a prime opportunity for me to get my name in somewhere. 

For graduation, I was given the book "How to Succeed in the Game of Life". When handed the book, I thought to myself, "psh. I don't need this book. I've already succeeded. I graduated high school. I graduated Transy with a double degree. Now I just need to find a job. That's pretty good Carlos" But the more I looked upon my success, I realized I had just began to be successful. The author defines success when "a person gives their best effort and maximizes their ability..." According to that definition, I have only succeeded at graduating school. But enough about my success. I'm starting a new chapter tomorrow, one that will hopefully be promising and one that I can succeed in. I will give my best effort, and I will maximize my ability to be able to become successful. Lexington tonight, New York City tomorrow!
