Hello everyone,
Like most of the students in the class I too am a Marine, however, I am neither retired or close to retirement. I am originally from Naples, Fl where I met my wife of 14 years.

I am eternally thankful to all of our veterans and those who are currently in war.…

    Hudson outlines the plans to a very specific world in which the weapons industry is effectively dismantled and the people’s representatives are free from bias towards big business, because as described in previous chapters his mended America involves a world where business does not have the pull on congress that it currently does. Most importantly the military must open it’s courtroom doors. I’ve heard horror stories from my family members who have served our country about things higher ups in the military have gotten away with that made me never want to join. If I lived in a world where congress represented the people and business privilege was reigned in I would support a draft requiring every able mind and bodied citizen between the ages…

    I believe a bachelor's degree from New England College of Business can do more than shape my career; it can help me realize a life-long dream. Because I hail from a long line of military members; I know first hand the true meaning of self-sacrifice, duty to country, ethics,and courage. For a long as I can remember, it has been my life's mission to help our nation's veterans when they are unable to help themselves. For this reason, I plan to use the knowledge gleaned from my studies at New England College of Business to build a solid foundation in which to start my own business. Every veteran, service member; and their families, who so desire, should have the resources to live the "American Dream" of a solid education, home ownership, and the…

    As a little girl the things i wanted most in my life were to become the first female in the NBA, marry Morris Chestnut, and to make enough money to buy my mother all the houses we ever got evicted from and all the companies that ever fired her. Since I now know i will never be in the NBA, and I’ve probably sent Morris enough fan mail since the third grade to obtain a restraining order, I've decided to help others achieve their sports dreams while still managing to make my last dream come true. Being a sports agent is something I've thought long and hard about. Not only will I be holding the wellbeing of my family in my hands but also the wellbeing of the athletes that spend countless amounts of their time on the court, in the weight room,…
