When you are on a two week vacation to New York City, you can visit a different museum everyday and you still won’t run out of museums On our third day, we visited another museum. This time it was the MOMA or Museum of Modern Art.

I had no idea what to expect to see there but I was not disappointed. There was art in every shape or form since the moment we walked into the building. The first thing I was as I walked in was a huge screen near the entrance, displaying paint of different colors blending together.

From there, everything was more surprising and interesting than the last. From AI to a Google Map pin to designs by architects to prioritize energy conservation and buildings that will adapt to the changes of the world around them.

I also enjoyed seeing Andy Warhol’s famous Campbell’s Soup Cans

The museum felt very calm and relaxed as I walked around the different galleries and collections, until I got to the last fifth floor. All of the sudden I turned around and it felt like all of Manhattan had decided to visit the MOMA at the same time. I just thought, where did all these people come from? That’s when I realized I had reached the fifth floor, where they had collections of artists like Matisse, Van Gogh, Picasso and Monet.

Moroccans- Henri Matisse

After the museum we walked around Rockefeller Center, visited the famous stories there, like FAO Schwarz and the Lego store. We couldn’t stay there long though, we had to get ready for our exiting night, we were going to Broadway!

That night I saw my first show on Broadway, The Book of Mormon. I was laughing from beginning to end. I really had a great time and thought it was a great show with great music, very good actors and I think it’s written very well. It’s a great show if you’re looking for a good laugh, seriously, but if you’re easily offended or very religious, I would skip it. It makes fun of and criticizes everyone, especially religions.

It was a great third day in NYC, with a lot of walking like those before and very painful for my knee and ankle, but I kept going because I didn’t want to miss a thing.

I’m an aspiring writer still looking for exactly what I want to write about, with a lot of creativity, imagination and desire to write. I studied Writing and Rhetoric at Syracuse University where I explored many different sides of writing through my classes and extracurricular activities in order to narrow my search for an identity as a writer. I have written for Citrus TV Noticias and La Voz magazine, both of which gave me the chance to explore different mediums in which to write in. Through Citrus TV Noticias I also gained experience in translating from English to Spanish and vice versa, which is also something that I would be interested in working on since I am fluent in both of these languages. I was also an intern at Syracuse University Press where I got hands on experience in what goes into actually editing and publishing a book. Through out the last four years I have faced a lot of challenges, which helped chape the person I am today. After being in a tragic car accident, being in comma, having a Traumatic Brain Injury, and being in therapy for over a year, I am a new me, willing to face challenges and knowing how to deal with them. I want to write about my accident and life after it to help others, show them it can be done and help in any way I can.
