Where are they now?
This kid, L from Stuy, decided to put together a giant email list with everyone he could find from our graduating class of 2001. His purpose, to update everyone on what he’s been up to and encourage others to do the same–an e-reunion if you will. Genius. It’s great to hear what everyone’s been up to.
Only problem is, I went to Stuy, where talent and achievement is the norm, and great things are expected of its alums. It seems the people who have so far replied haven’t disappointed in the least. Here’s an except from R’s email:
I’m hoping to get a travel fellowship from Harvard to go to Eastern Europe for next year to follow my grandfather’s life through his autobiography (Ukraine, Russia, Moldova etc.) and translate it into English. Keeping my fingers crossed for the money – I won’t know till May though…
…We spent all year helping to start up a project to renovate Gorongosa National Park in Mozambique, which endured some massive destruction and loss of species diversity over the past 20 years of civil war in the country. It’s a pretty cool project to be working on. We even went to South Africa for spring break to study parks there which was really amazing.
Here’s an excerpt from E’s email:
Right after I graduated I got a job as Economic Analyst for the premier economic consulting firm for the music and film industries. It’s a really cool job and I get to work with some cool people (just finished a project for Lionel Richie, starting something with R. Kelly soon, etc.).
Crazy overachieving bastards. Heh, I’m just kidding. I’m proud of my fellow alum, and just a little disappointed in myself that I have so far achieved nothing even remotely close to my classmates. I mean, today I watched 3 tv shows and 3 anime episodes. I’m totally on the same level (rolls eyes).
Anyway, here’s to an interesting life… (hopefully).
