My name is
Rachel DeMarco. I am from Middleton, Massachusetts. I am a freshman here at
Nichols College. I chose Nichols because I was intrigued by how small it was. I
thought that because of the size of the school, I would have a personal
relationship with my professors which would help me do well in all of my
classes. Having that one on one feeling would make me stay more focused on the
tasks I need to complete. Nichols is not really very far from my home town. It
is just about an hour and thirty minutes away.
I am a cheerleader for the
football team. The Nichols football team won its first game in three years in
2012. It was a very exciting day which ended with the coach getting a bucket of
Gatorade poured over his head! This April our cheerleading team is going to
Daytona Beach for the big National cheerleading competition. We are all very
excited and hope that we do great!
I am currently undecided with my major. My
favorite subject is math which may influence what I choose for a major. I have
always been better at math than history and writing. Since I do not have a
major, my dream job isn’t something I have really thought about yet, but being
a teacher occasionally crosses my mind. I enjoy working with kids very much. I think
that they make daily activities entertaining and fun. I think of myself as very
friendly and kind so being a teacher could be a good job for me. I would want
to work in an average sized elementary or high school where people are fun to
be around and love their job. I would not want to work in a school that is in a
city or far away from my hometown.
As I searched through America’s Best Young Entrepreneurs, one in particular caught my eye. His name
is Glenn Clayton a twenty five year old who attended the University of Alabama.
While in school he started a business called “Appleton Learning.” Glenn tutored
high school students out of his dorm room. His business grew to revenue of $4.2
million projected for 2011. I admire him
because he was spending 60 hours per week managing his company while still
attending classes. I also admire the fact that his company is helping other
students do well in school.

I really enjoyed reading your blog. I learned a lot about you even though i do not know you which is kind of creepy. All I have to say is that your blog is really good and much better than mine. Your long term and short term goals are great and i agree with you that a 5 year old making that much money is amazing. I am going to look into this company now that I have learned a little bit about it. I also like how used used a a lot of pictures throughout your blog so myself and others could get a better feel for what type of person you are.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great blog! I really enjoyed learning your thoughts on the college you chose going to and what you feel like maybe doing in the future. This blog is very informational, as well. Reading that you are exceptionally well in Math and you also enjoy it, and teaching often crosses your mind being an elementary school teacher who focuses on Math would be a good plan for you; especially if you like working with children. I also really love how into and supportive you are of your college football team and how excited you were of the team winning for the first time in three years in 2012. That is awesome! Thank you for writing and sharing all of this on your blog!
