Brittany Howe

My name is Brittany Howe; I’m from a little city called North Adams,Massachusetts. It’s a stone throwing distance from Vermont and a very short drive to New York.  My current majors are Criminal Justice Management and Accounting with a minor in Psychology.  I’m planning on changing my majors and minors to a major in Accounting and Information Technology Management and a minor in Criminal Justice Management. This may sound a tad cheesy but I watched the movie Untraceable and it influenced my decision to go into cybercrimes.   After graduation I want to get my masters in Information Technology Management. Then I’ll get a first class ticket to the military. I haven’t fully decided what I want to do in the military or what branch. I narrowed it down to two branches army or navy. If I do navy I want to go in as an officer, but I do army I would want to do army intelligence. So it’s just me trying to decide. Once I complete everything off my list I want to work for the cybercrime unit for the FBI.  It has been my dream since I was younger to work for the FBI and to be stationed in Washington D.C.  

 

The Creators of “On the Beaten Path Trail Contractors” and “Texts from Last Night”, I thought were very inspiring and interesting”. “On the Beaten Path Trail Contractors” build paths in National parks. “Texts from Last Night” is a blog website that will make you laugh your butt off.

                “On the Beaten Path Trail Contractors” was created in February of 2011 by a man named Tyler Johnson. He is only 24 years old; he started his project in Fairborn, Ohio. To build mountain trails you cannot use motor vehicles, so they can’t find anyone to do the labor. Tyler was up for the challenge. It created jobs, paying $17 an hour, it now has 63 workers. I thought it was very inspiring because he was not only up for the challenge he’s is also one to thank for keeping our nation parks trails alive.

                “Texts from Last Night” started in 2009. It’s about funny texts that people submit. Two people created the website, Lauren Leto and Ben Bator. They started it together while they were in law school. They now have a book out along with a mobile app which will cost you $0.99 or you can get the free version. It is a great website and I was surprised to find out that they made it in college. Creating a company doesn’t require age, if you have a dream you can do it.
