Maria Catanzarite News
By Maria Catanzarite (NCC News) — What do Eastwood residents think about President Obama being steps away from their homes?
“I’m happy!” 4 year-old Jesus Perez exclaimed.
Perez’s 13 year-old neighbor Shamira Smith “did a 180”, after she got a firsthand taste of the “street life.” Now, Smith eyes a place President Barack Obama knows well.
“I want to go to Harvard Law School and become a defense lawyer.”
President Obama graduated from Harvard Law in 1991. If he paid another visit to a Syracuse school, Smith hopes Obama would give students a speech on something that might keep young adults out of a defense attorney’s office: the art of paying attention.
Smith can relate.
“[Being on the streets] wasn’t teaching me anything, but then I changed.”
A familiar feeling
A few houses down, Victor Montanez sat in his house, watching the President broadcasting live from the Henninger High School auditorium.
“We’re very excited,” Montanez said, who lives in the 700 block of Hixson Avenue — right behind the general area where President Barack Obama took the stage.
“We wished we could have went in, but because of duties and work, [we couldn’t].” A Puerto Rican immigrant, Montanez says the President’s talking points — education and the economy — hit home.
“College changed people’s life. It did with me. I came from Puerto Rico in 1996 — and so doing that, I got a well-paying job.” The President’s visit also reminded Montanez of a time when he served the second in command at Shea Middle School in 2009.
“I worked the sound system when Vice President Joe Biden came. I got a letter from the White House, thanking me.”
Inspiration from the “top-down”
Michael Mach, a 2012 Syracuse University graduate, lives on nearby Kinne Street. He said having the President of the United States in the neighborhood might encourage everyone in the classroom — from principals to students with higher education on the horizon.
“I think it’s going to help…the education system. Let’s see, if we were doing a great job, maybe now we’ll step up and doing an excellent job!”
Armed with a Bachelor’s in Economics, Mach knows numbers — and what it feels like to have student loans. He remembers being told he would graduate with $16,000 in debt. Now that number’s risen to $20,000. Mach came to Syracuse in 2001, a far cry from his native — but newly minted — homeland of the South Sudan.
“I hope they follow through with lower rates on student loans. That is my hope. It’ll help me pay my student loans.”
SUNY-Geneseo junior Rachel Crawford attended the President’s visit to Hemminger High School, just a five-minute walk from her home.
“I have a lot of friends who went there. I went to the public elementary school near here. Henninger and the city of Syracuse are really close to my heart…I love this city. He’s in the neighborhood I grew up in.”
