My first breath in New York City was quite disgusting. I was standing in the musty cellar that is known as Pennsylvania Station in the world’s capital. And as I stood there‚ luggage in hand‚ I did not realize that my life was about to change. New York City is a place like no other‚ it’s truly a concrete jungle.
