As I step outside and take a look across the street, I see the most famous park in the world, Central Park. Harlem Meer shines in the morning and there are many people running and exercising. They bask in the morning glow, awash in the potential of the day. My music thumps in my ears and I also am excited for the day. It’s not an easy feat – to feel this excited in the morning.
As I continue along I come into contact with the denizens of 110th street. All types of people are out and about on this glorious morning. The diversity of the neighborhood always makes me smile, and it makes me feel proud to live in such a place. My life-long ambition has been to experience life. It’s not always easily done, but something about seeing a diverse representation of life makes the day-to-day exciting. We all live in this world, and the world lives here in New York City.
