Who We Are

	antonyvent Biography: Hey, my name’s Anthony. I come from Staten Island, where my parents (who were born in Brooklyn) moved right before I was born. I am a 4th generation of Italian heritage and eat more pasta in a week than a person does in a lifetime. I study at the Macaulay Honors College at Hunter , currently studying pre-medicine but with interests in international relations. Currently, I serve as a member of the Macaulay Scholars Council where I represent my class. I also work in a lab researching Fragile X Syndrome. One day, I hope to combine my interests and become the Surgeon General of the United States (unlikely, but hey, one can dream). I enjoy playing baseball and my favorite team is the Yankees. I also like to participate in kickboxing and martial arts; I have done so since I was 8. My favorite genre of music is rock and I am a big fan of the Foo Fighters and Breaking Benjamin.

I also enjoy informing myself with political study and educational poliies. Biography: Hi folks. My name is Greg; I’m from East Rockaway, Long Island, but was born in Flatbush, Brooklyn. I lived there for two years, and then moved eastward, and attended Lynbrook High School. My parents work in Brooklyn though, my entire family lives Brooklyn, and I spent summers at a beach club in Far Rockaway. Anywho, I like Long Island, where it’s nice and quiet, but I’ve always been connected to Brooklyn too. I like politics, and I’ve been working in political offices since I was 15. I’m pretty intent on running for office one day. In school though, I’m currently undeclared in my major, but I’ll probably double-major in math and creative writing. If that doesn’t quite match up with my career goals logically, I spend to much time trying to reason it out if I were you. That’s all I suppose. Tschues.
