Inquiring Photographer: Adhering to New Year’s Resolutions

By DAVID GREENE

This week we asked readers their New Year’s resolutions and hopes for 2016.

My New Year’s resolution is for me to help out my mom more with things like paying for groceries and anything that she needs, and for me to do better in school.

I’m going to help my family out, so they may live more comfortably.
Joshua Rivera

My hope for the New Year is for these politicians to help clean up the Bronx a little more and create more jobs and help the homeless. It’s a real crisis. That’s what I hope to see. My resolution is to just quit smoking cigarettes, become a better father, and a better friend.

I wish everyone a great New Year, with good times and no problems, no aggravation. That’s all I want, peace and love.

No more smoking. It’s progress. I’ve been seeing a lot of stuff in the newspaper about violence and all this crazy stuff happening, people dying. Hopefully everybody calms down for the winter.

Welcome to the Norwood News, a bi-weekly community newspaper that primarily serves the northwest Bronx communities of Norwood, Bedford Park, Fordham and University Heights. Through our Breaking Bronx blog, we focus on news and information for those neighborhoods, but aim to cover as much Bronx-related news as possible. Founded in 1988 by Mosholu Preservation Corporation, a not-for-profit affiliate of Montefiore Medical Center, the Norwood News began as a monthly and grew to a bi-weekly in 1994. In September 2003 the paper expanded to cover University Heights and now covers all the neighborhoods of Community District 7. The Norwood News exists to foster communication among citizens and organizations and to be a tool for neighborhood development efforts. The Norwood News runs the Bronx Youth Journalism Heard, a journalism training program for Bronx high school students.
