I grew up in New York, about 30 minutes out side of the big city in a place called Long Island. Coincidentally enough, thats exactly what it was: A long Island.

Have tons of family and friends out here as well. Oh, and the cheap tuition. So I just watched &#8220;The War on Drugs&#8221; by\u00a0Diane Keyes and Michelle Nzioki and I was thoroughly intrigued. For some odd reason I&#8217;ve always had an interest in the drug wars, cartels, etc. I believe the video is well made and with time and effort put in the right place. I especially liked how they included personal anecdote from a native columbian on the topic. I also viewed &#8220;Towards and Uncertain Future&#8221; by\u00a0<span style=\"font-size: 1rem;\">Hanna Dandarell and Cody Alba. Really interesting topic as\u00a0<\/span>I wasn&#8217;t aware of the immense incapabilities of the Mexican government during their time of crisis. I found the fact that buildings were not built to code due to corruption and briberies was very interesting. Overall solid video with good visuals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hey, my name is Tyler Farrago, I am an American born Canadian citizen.
