Bar Car Prophesy
In Rosie Schaap’s podcast Bar Car Prophesy shows us that she wanted to belong somewhere. Every time when she would commute from Connecticut to New York City, she would be on the bar car.  She was the only teenager that would go into the bar car but she wanted to find somewhere that she could belong to. As she would view upon how various types of people would be in their own certain niche. Schaap felt like she was missing something. She wanted to be part of adulthood. At the end of the podcast, she mentions that she didn’t belong into adulthood as she was passing beers to the people on the train she then realized that she didn’t belong there. As she was trying to find her own niche, this reminds me of how since I commute from Long Island to Manhattan everyday for school, I always try to find my own niche. Everyday when I enter school, I always hope that I could find my own niche to be with but I find it difficult to find that right group. When I try to find a niche that I want to be part of, I have this feeling that I have no right to belong to it.  Although I don’t feel as welcomed sometimes, I still have my hopes up that I will find my own group that I could for once fit in. Both Schaap and I both have our similarities when it comes to finding somewhere to fit in. Even though that we still don’t feel welcomed from a niche to find, their could always be some kind of niche that we can find. Sometimes when we are trying to find a niche that we want to belong in, there could be times that we won’t get that warm welcome we want. There will be a time that we’ll have that welcomed feeling what we want since we’ve found the group that we wanted to be part of.
