The only gateway to success is education. Go to school. Learn. Be somebody. How can the youth of New York City become successful when their only ride to education has been taken away? As a student, I am enraged by the proposal to cut student MetroCards.

I have seen how this issue affects all students, many who cannot afford the daily transportation costs, students who have to travel from borough to borough just to get to school, and students just like me that have to work extra hard because of living conditions.

Like many students, I live in a single parent household with multiple siblings. My mother has to work hard just to send us to school. Sometimes she has to choose whether to pay our tuition or pay one of the bills. It’s not fair that now she has to worry about paying our bus fares to get to school. What happens when I can no longer go to school?

What happens to all the students that have to move from their current schools to zoned schools which are already overcrowded?

Paul Garrison vividly remembers the last time he spoke to his lover and longtime companion Michael Lorge, the Norwood resident who was brutally and mysteriously murdered on Valentine’s Day 2009.

More than 14 months later, the murder remains unsolved, leaving Garrison and others struggling to make sense of Lorge’s sudden, violent death.

At a recent press conference in the lobby of Montefiore Medical Center’s Children’s Hospital, Dr. Philip Ozuah held up a big bottle of soda. “Every day in my practice, children come into my office holding one of these,” he said.
