My main goal in life is to own a successful company. This is my main goal in life because I want to be able to be the boss, not have one. I want to be able to do what I want not what someone else wants. My short term goals this year were to pass every quarter with B+ and up. I didn’t achieve these goals sadly; it was mainly being lazy. It was no one’s fault but mine. The shop I ended up getting was Engineering. It wasn’t my first choice but I’m happy I got into it. Everyone in there is really…

health care nearly half of that was spent on older prisoners (Ollove, 2016). Long Term Issues The long-term concerns of the aging prison population are both ethical and financial.
