My biggest circle of influence is in my family since they are my supporters and carry me throughout all my experiences. I have the least authority when it comes to speaking up as being a middle child comes with having your voice heard the least. Over the years, there has been a change in the influence I have on people in certain settings. People are able to come to me to discuss difficult, private situations they are facing to seek help and guidance.

This place is distinct from others in many ways. One of which is through the variety it has. There’s a beach, playgrounds, and trails all in one place.

The history of this space contributes to it today as families remember this spot for its openness and familiarity. Teenagers continue to come here as it is a diverse and accessible area.

The space can easily promote social interaction and prohibit them at the same time. This can be seen in the playgrounds where teenagers and kids can interact as they play. It can prohibit interaction in places where only a few people at a time can be there (boardwalk, benches, certain trails.)

# data[].attributes.body
Anyone can feel welcome here. There are trails for joggers or individuals to walk their dogs. There are also areas with scenery to sit and watch. Someone who may not feel welcome is someone who does not like the outdoors or who doesn’t like activity.

Teenagers and young adults seem to hold the authority. There are more teenagers and adults seen throughout as there are more activities for them to do rather than families or children.

The space is completely free to the public. Anyone can enter at any time and don’t have to pay to get in. From time to time there are activities or vendors in the area where costs can vary.

# data[].attributes.body
Social markers don’t exist too much. Typically, families do stay away from small groups and others don’t approach individuals who seem to walk alone. Due to this park being in a middle class neighborhood, the majority of the people who come here are middle class.

There is surveillance in the park. There are cameras outside of bathrooms and in some posts. Police cruisers are often seen and officers walking around. There aren’t many workers at the park. For the most part everyone is respectful of the area and maintains it clean for others to enjoy it as much as they do. Trash and recycling cans are seen in every corner with doggy bags provided

# data[].attributes.body
Personally, before moving to this area, I didn’t know that a place like this could exist. Meaning, I didn’t know a beach and boardwalk can be in the same space as playgrounds. Or crabs can be in the same space a rabbits or squirrels.

I assumed the people were respectful and proud of this area as it seems to be well maintained.

To research this place, I can go to the library nearby and search using their computers or by reading local articles. I may also ask locals about the history surrounding the park.

Local businesses influence the information of this place by having pictures of the beach in their walls or by advertising themselves to be in a family neighborhood.

Walking research can enhance understanding with the space around us by allowing us to take a new perspective on something we missed the first time around. Walking allows us to see the details in something we didn’t notice before. It also allows us to get more familiar with our surroundings. By better understanding our surroundings, we can feel more connected to them. This is proven in the AIF article where it states, “Scholars argue that by walking in a place one can activate modes of participation that are situated and relational as walking can connect bodies, environment, and the sensory surrounds of a place.”

What seems like a very exciting time in a person's life can actually bring much challenges. Niyah is talking about some things no one expected when starting their first semester in college. While things are bumpy, she keeps a positive attitude and talk about her inspirations, as well as how to keep a positive attitude.

Niyah is a freshman at St. John's University. Growing up she knew what she wanted to do with her life. Her family was one of the greatest inspirations as they showed the true value of hard work and opened up a world of opportunities. "I come from a family where we have a lot of registered nurses and doctors, so growing up I knew what I wanted to be." She stated. While there were some challenges she faced, nothing stopped her but instead motivated her to keep going. As time is leaning towards the end of the first semester, Niyah has one piece of advice for future freshmen, "Just be yourself. I know it's hard but it is true because at the end it will be you walking that stage on graduation."
