If you had the opportunity to spend one day in New York City with a famous New Yorker, who would it be and what would you do? (Your New Yorker can be anyone -past or present, fictional or nonfictional - who is commonly associated with New York City; they do not necessarily have to have been born and raised in New York.)
F. Scott Fitzgerald, author of The Great Gatsby
Although spending the day in current New York would be amazing, I would forever treasure the opportunity to travel back to the roaring twenties and personally experience grand carefree lifestyles Fitzgerald eloquently portrays in his novel. In one day, I would experience the carefree lavish lifestyle as well as discuss with Fitzgerald his ability to capture the entire essence of a decade--prohibition, eugenics, evolving role of women, and the rise of industrialism--all in less than 200 pages.
Write a haiku, limerick, or short (eight lines or less) poem that best represents you.

In the year 2050, a movie is being made of your life. Please tell us the name of your movie and briefly summarize the story line.
Irishino:Irish+Filipino The movie follows a girl born from parents both coming from historically rich cultures, yet identifying with none. From students recognizing her as Mexican to the endless array of boxes she must check to identify her race, Irishino reflects the ongoing racial issues in America by the constant uses of ideological hegemony by capitalism and white supremacy to dissociate from who you are to become who they want you to be. Ultimately, alluding to an America without race.
Please tell us what led you to select your anticipated academic program and/or NYU school/college, and what interests you most about your intended discipline.
I intend to study Sociology in the College of Arts and Science. Situated at the heart of one of the greatest cities in the entire world, I believe NYU is the best place to learn how social interactions and structures shape society.
