After having an outstanding outcome of viewers, MTV has successfully satisfied viewers with their hit show Jersey Shore. They have recently aired a new reality show series that has taken over Jersey Shore called Washington Heights. This series takes place in uptown Manhattan. Briefly this show is about 9 young adults living in the heights who all aspire to be known in the world of music, arts and sports. They all have their own unique personalities but they have all one thing in common; their drive to succeed.
This show drove me in because of their culture, heritage and ideas. Just like me, these young adults are all first generation Dominican- Americans. Just like my parents, their parents immigrated from the Dominican Republic in the mid 1980's to New York for an opportunity to achieve the American dream. The parents of these young adults went through many of the same struggles that my parents went through trying to make a living and bring food to the table. The talents that these young adults acquire are impressive and their desire to become big are inspirational. Its nice to see that their are young Dominican Americans who are willing to put their mind to achieve their dreams.
