The Big Apple-Day 3

The last day in New York was rainy (I'm still stuck in the airport because of storms), but exhilarating. We slept in and woke up giggling because the room was so cold and we could not, for the life of us, get out of bed. When we finally did, we went to Starbucks with our gift cards that we won from the New York Times for traveling the farthest. We then showered up and hopped onto the subway to Battery Park to see the Statue of Liberty. After viewing one of our country's biggest landmarks, we walked up to Ground Zero where I was almost moved to tears. We then headed uptown to meet up with David Bornstein. This was one of the most exciting parts of the trip for me, as he has inspired me in unexplainable ways and what he does with solution journalism amazes me. I also got to meet Amber Rae who was there with him. She is incredible. This meeting was all a dream come true and I'm now helping write a career guide to Social Entrepreneurship. I could shed tears of excitement right now.

Luckily, she is a much more patient blogger than me. Plus, she's hilarious. And I'm so glad I got to share this magical experience with her.

Dear New York,
You haven't seen the last of me. See you soon.
