Hello ONEin3 world, my name is David, the newest intern to bless this community of young people, students, Bostonians and what-have-you. I am very excited to start chatting with everyone about what drives us, what we love and hate about Boston, and most importantly what we can do to make it a great place to live!

I have been a resident of Downtown Boston for the past seven years, while at the same time spending summers around the world. I have lived on the Common (Theater District), Newbury Street (Boston’s catwalk), in the North End (the best smelling neighborhood in Boston) and currently in Boston’s frat house, the Fens.

I went to undergraduate and graduate school in Boston and high school in Chestnut Hill. I love this city and all that it has to offer young people. However, at times I can feel the lack in size affecting every part of me, from my social life, to professional life, to housing options.

My goal is to bring forward issues and topics that are relevant and resonate with the mindsets, attitudes, and emotions of the students of Boston. In the end I hope that we all learn from one other in an open forum of shared ideas and opinions that will lead to change in our communities, neighborhoods, and ultimately our city.

I am really looking forward to hearing everyone’s reactions, perspectives, and thoughts on a multitude of topics that I hope we explore this summer.

Please share any topics regarding the lives of students in Boston in terms of housing, jobs/professional life, social/cultural, family, and civic engagement!

-David
