Long Island Import
My name is Becca Glickman, and I am a 3rd generation American. My grandfather came from Poland after the Holocaust and settled in Brooklyn. The rest of my grandparents are American born. I grew up in the Five Towns on Long Island and lived there up until 2 months ago when I moved into Manhattan. I know reside in Chelsea just a few blocks away from Baruch! I attended a private Hebrew school called HAFTR for high school, where I studied a dual curriculum. Which means I didn’t get out of school until five o’clock everyday.
My favorite sport, in fact the only sport I play, is tennis. I have a dog named Alfie; he’s an adorable Havaniese who is originally from South Dakota. I work in a florist every Friday and most Sundays. It’s not a field I want to go into but I happen to be good at it.
Third Generation New Yorker
My name is Elisabeth Greenberg and I am American. My lineage, however, includes two German grandparents, both of whom were Holocaust survivors, as well as an English grandfather and an American grandmother whose personal genealogy traces back to a drummer boy in the Civil War. My mother and father were raised in Manhattan and Brooklyn respectively, and although I have lived in a pampered suburb of New Jersey for most of my life, I consider myself a seasoned New Yorker.
As of now I plan to double major in journalism and political science while triple minoring in Chinese, film and New York City studies. I am however begrudgingly aware that my plans for the future may change drastically between now and May of 2014.
I love playing table tennis, finding ways to express myself artistically through both image and word, traveling and interacting with people around me. Lastly, my favorite words are polydimethylsiloxane and zugzwang.
Not Exactly Off the Boat
Hey, my name is Cait McCarthy.
Nice to meet you.
I am a lot of things; I am 18, a Brooklynite, a New Yorker, a student, an actress, an undecided major, and three generations away from being anything close to an immigrant. My father’s parents came from Ireland in the 1950s, and my mother’s parents have pretty much been here since the Mayflower. So, in a way, my family were some of my first immigrants.
Even though I didn’t pass through Ellis Island like my family did over 60 years ago, I have seen my fair share of changing neighborhoods, and could pretty much rattle off what groups live in any given Brooklyn neighborhood with the wink of an eye. We live in a land of immigrants, and we’re all living in the heart of it.
PDX to NYC
I’m Emily Sherwood, your friendly neighborhood Instructional Technology Fellow. When I’m not in the Honors College Lounge waiting for you to ask me interesting questions, I’m a student in the PhD Program in English at The Graduate Center, CUNY. My specialty is Renaissance Drama; I also dabble in a little Medieval Lit and I’m interested in various aspects of the legal system in early modern England, particularly the development of marriage law. For the last three years I’ve taught courses at Hunter College on Shakespeare and British Literature from the Anglo Saxon period to Romanticism. Basically, I read old stuff. While not first, second, or even third generation, I was born and raised in the Pacific Northwest, which is almost another country when compared to New York City.
