Allow me to reintroduce myself…visually
I realized that I jumped directly into the content and never gave you, the reader, any context. Therefore I will introduce myself using the about me section – I was just called “The Beyonce of Men” (speaking of which I took the name of this post from a song by her husband (EXPLICIT LYRICS) http://http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zCP_E5Rsawc)
– that is me…being professional
“My name is Jack Goldberg (although my drivers license says Isaac Goldberg…long story) and I am a senior at Boston University studying public relations and American history. But I am much more than my major. I am a 6th generation Seattleite, a (be it small) part Irish, modern Orthodox Jew whose grandparents survived the Holocaust (one was one of 60 people of 1,000,000 to survive Treblinka). I call South Seattle, Washington my home (area code 98118) and I have got 3 sisters with no brothers. I have lived in Seattle, Israel, England, and Boston and each one has allowed me to learn something new.
I am passionate about a whole lot of things including: politics, PR, communication, firefighting, music, movies, branding, the Presidential Youth Council, supporting the State of Israel, and the general art of delivering and writing speeches. These are the main things I will be writing about but by no means the only things.”
That sums me up to some extent. I will explain what these things mean in more depth as time goes on but I just wanted to give a brief overview of a)what I will be posting, b)what I care about right now (subject to change within about 12 hours), and c) what you can get me for Chanukah.
Below I will (attempt to) show a visual representation of myself:
Senior at Boston University – (despite terrible publicity I still love my school)
American History – (my focus is WWII and post WWII history)
South Seattle – (this is a mural from my neighborhood)
Part Irish – (I took this picture in the County Cork of Ireland at the Blarney Castle)
Modern Orthodox Jew – (I led havdalah in Israel)
Holocaust – (I read a excerpt from my grandfathers story at the memorial at Treblinka)
3 Sisters No Brothers – (Life with 3 sisters)
Places I Have Lived (Seattle, Israel, England, Boston) – The view from my house
The view from the water in London
Firefighting – my goal before I missed the only written test I could take… and threw out my back
Presidential Youth Council – (I am the Director Of Communications for the Campaign for the Presidential Youth Council)
Love for the State of Israel –
Writing/Delivering Speeches – (three of the greatest speakers I have ever seen)
These pictures help to describe me through a visual medium but I hope that you will continue to read and see my kinda sorta unique perspective on life, and the above stated topics.
