Encompassed – Bronx Science Stories

“There was a sense of freedom, like you could do what you want. You don’t realize it’s a freedom until you see other places that are not as free and don’t have that opportunity to step outside of your comfort zone and the opportunity to meet people from across your borough, beyond your borough, and really learn people and how to be around different kinds of people. Diversity is a wonderful thing–diversity of mentality, diversity of skill set, diversity of family upbringing, diversity of rebellion, whatever! It’s a wonderful thing.”
