My name is Angelina, and I am a 19-year-old Sophomore, here at Fordham University. I hail from Yonkers which is in Westchester otherwise known as “upstate” by “official” New Yorkers. I major in International Political Economy, it sounds cool, but it is just a glorified combination of Economics and Political Science. I also minor in German and, hopefully, American Catholic Studies.
I do know what I want to do after I graduate; I will be attending Law school. My dream would be to work in international law or foreign policy, similar to Amal Clooney.
As you can see, I have a wide area of interests, but my ultimate goal is to understand and help.
I chose to take this class because it is made of everything I care about, culture, German, helping others, Fordham’s core requirements, and most importantly, food. I am so excited to volunteer and interact with many people from different backgrounds who are from the New York City area; even though I have spent some time in NYC I have not interacted with the diverse population it holds. The images I perceive are mainly from the upper west/east sides and wealthy or tourist-laden areas. Hopefully, through the experience of volunteering at various in-need parts of the City, I can help provide a dignified experience around food but also bring to light to others that I know, that most of what we see not only in the city but in the world, generally, is only a fraction of the story.
