I have never worked in New York and I have never been to New York . To experience both at the same time and also experience staying in New York for three months was pretty cool. I got to see a bunch of things I have never seen before. I got to see the Statue of Liberty, I got to see Central Park, I got to eat 1 dollar Pizza, and I got to work in New York! It was a really fun experience and was definitely my favorite part.
