A Unified Community During the Aftermath of Hurricane Sandy

By Lynn Tay On November 4, 2012 · 1 Comment · In Beyond NY, Lynn Tay, Part of NYC
Last year was the first time I ever had to worry about a hurricane.  I survived Hurricane Irene, and the damage done by the hurricane was minimal.  This year, with Hurricane Sandy, I had a very different experience.  I was fortunate enough to be taken in by Kristiana, a swim teammate of mine.  At the last moment’s notice, she and her family were more than happy to take me in.  They provided me with a [...]

A Loss Full of Gains and Optimism

By Lynn Tay On October 23, 2012 · Leave a Comment · In Beyond NY, Lynn Tay
There is no better feeling than seeing your teammates sweep a swimming event or break a pool record at a rival team’s pool. Although the Wagner swimming team (the divers were at Central Connecticut State University this weekend for their diving meet) had another loss at 151-111, we have seen some great times and races so far this season. With only a two-day rest after five long weeks of training at 6:30 a.m. every day, [...]

Leaf Peeping in New England

By Lynn Tay On October 16, 2012 · Leave a Comment · In Beyond NY, Lynn Tay
I have traveled far and wide because of my swimming competitions in high school. Here at Wagner, I have added new destinations to my list of “states I have been to.” For our second meet of the season, the Wagner swimming and diving team took a luxurious coach bus to University of Vermont (UVM) in Burlington, Vermont. This was my first time being so close to Canada. Our bus ride on Friday was seven and [...]

An Exciting Fall Break

By Lynn Tay On October 12, 2012 · Leave a Comment · In Beyond NY, Lynn Tay
This fall break was a very eventful one compared to last year. I had my first swim meet of the season, then went to visit my younger sister in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania! Our first meet of the season was full of spirit and close races. Although we lost the meet, we were able to see how much stronger we have become as swimmers and as a team. We swam against CW Post at their pool on [...]

A Run to Help a Ton

By Lynn Tay On October 1, 2012 · Leave a Comment · In Lynn Tay, Part of NYC
More than 20,000 people gathered before the Battery Tunnel to participate in a 5K run early on Sunday morning on September 30, 2012.   Why were these people all there? For one reason: to run to help a ton.  They were all there as participants in the annual Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers Run in New York City. When we arrived in the morning, the atmosphere was charged with enthusiasm.  People from all over the [...]

A Helping Hand

By Lynn Tay On September 28, 2012 · Leave a Comment · In Beyond NY, Lynn Tay
Many people take clean drinking water for granted.  In the South Asian country of Bangladesh, the population is faced with the problem of high arsenic levels in their water sources.   Dr. Mohammad Alauddin is a chemistry professor here at Wagner College and takes students on a short-term study abroad program during winter break to give them an opportunity to give a helping hand to the people of Bangladesh.  These short study abroad trips are offered [...]

Soaking Up the Sun

By Lynn Tay On September 21, 2012 · Leave a Comment · In Lynn Tay
The salty scent of the beach air filled our nostrils as my teammates and I excitedly picked our way down to the sandy shore next to the water. It was our last chance to go to the beach and soak up some sun before the change of seasons. Every year, my swimming and diving team makes a weekend trip down to a teammate’s beach house on the coast of Long Beach Island, New Jersey, to [...]

Farewell to Singapore

By Lynn Tay On August 21, 2012 · Leave a Comment · In Archive, Lynn Tay
In less than eight hours, I will be on a plane on the way back home to California.  It is amazing how fast these seven weeks have passed by!  I have had the best summer of my life, full of new experiences, great memories, and new friends.  It will be strange going home and not being able to go out to dinner at a hawker center drinking sugar cane, some spicy dish, and sweating from [...]

Farewell to Summer Classes

By Lynn Tay On August 21, 2012 · Leave a Comment · In Archive, Lynn Tay
This past Friday was the last day of my six-week study abroad program here in  Singapore.  I will be staying here until the 21st of August, but I had to say goodbye to my five other classmates from America who were here with me on my journey to Singapore.  It is amazing how a place can bring a lot of different people together to have an experience of a lifetime.  Over my six-week cultural course, [...]
