Hello my name is Gregory, I also go by Greg. I'm 22 years old and I'm from Tampa, Florida. I'm fairly new to New York, currently I live in East Harlem with my Dad. I'm considered a transfer student, but its been a few years since I was last in a college atmosphere. Outside of school I work at Starbucks as a shift supervisor. I watch very little television and try to read as much as possible. Some of my favorite books are Tuesdays with Morrie, The Power of Now, and The Art of Happiness.
I love the outdoors! I really enjoy playing a variety of sports including football, basketball, golf, and a personal favorite ultimate frisbee. I try to keep active when not at work or school. Even though I don't run as much presently I really enjoy a long run through Central Park. I was a pretty serious runner last year and participated in a marathon while staying in Israel. Sports were a huge part of my younger life but have faded out with my maturation.
I feel I have changed tremendously in the last few years. After working two summers at a Jewish summer camp I have been very interested in religion and other cultures. I was raised in a Catholic family and even went to a Catholic school for a few years, but after spontaneously applying to this camp to work with my roomate at the time, it opened my eyes to a different way of life. I volunteered in a work study program that took place in Israel last year where I spent six months living in a kibbutz (basically a commune). It was the most amazing time of my life! I learned soo much about the culture, the religion, the history of Israel and the middle east while simultaneously learned a lot about myself. I've been a bit of a nomad the last year and a half, but I'm very excited and eager to get back into school and start a new chapter in my life.
I used to run also, but I never ran in any big events.
