Every individual has something that sparks their interests, such as art, cooking or traveling.Something that captivates my attention the most is traveling. I want  nothing more than to go to different countries and experience the cultures, people, and food.  My obsession with traveling stems from being around my friends and sorority sisters, who have traveled to different parts of the world.  Being surrounded by friends, who are from the Dominican Republic ,Bahamas, Jamaica, Pakistan, Ecuador and Africa, has exposed me to other cultures, apart from my own.

I have also been able to compares their cultures with my own and have been able to notice some similarities between my culture and that of my friends. It would be amazing to travel with my friends and experience their cultures first hand. I would also like to visit  historical museums, go to festivals and try new dishes.  Although  I have heard amazing things about the different cultures, I would  like to see what it is like to live on the other side of the world. There are a total of five countries I would like to visit more than anything, and that is my friends native lands. I would also like nothing more than to have my friends with me through this adventure.The one thing I say is it’s always great to experience new things while you are young. Travel, eat, meet new people and enjoy life.

Utica '20

Meet Bianca, I am currently a Junior at Utica College in Utica, NY.  I am a Criminal Justice major with a concentration in Homeland Security.  Crime investigation has always been something that interests me.  I’m dedicated and passionate and it’s hard for me to quit things. I get that from my father so don’t hold it against me- he was a veteran and police officer for 20 years.   Growing up in a family centered around law enforcement has helped guide me in this direction, and I will forever be grateful.  After graduation I intend to continue on to law school where I can further my education in hopes of becoming a criminal defense lawyer and later on a District Attorney.  An interesting fact about myself is that I found the passion to be a criminal defense lawyer from watching the O.J. Simpson case.  The facts and conspiracy theories evoked a whole new passion behind criminal investigation that I intend to use in my future.  One of my most prominent moments in my writing career was when I wrote for an online magazine and had my most prevalent article hit 1.6k shares.  I believe in treating people with the same kind of respect and manners you would expect in return, and in a way it has helped shaped my expectations in life.   When you first meet me I won’t be the loudest in the room or the center of attention, but I will be intently listening to everything you say, for what you have to say may have a purpose. I believe in purpose. I believe that everyone is here to help you grow into who you are today and who you will be tomorrow.
