Siobhan Burke
My name is Siobhan Burke. I am a
freshman at Nichols College. I live in Saratoga Springs, NY which is a relatively
big town known for its gambling and horse racing. My high school had a
graduating class of five hundred and fifty and I was exactly two hundred and fifty
out of five hundred in my class rank. I am currently working on my Psychology
major, and a criminal justice minor. I would like to go into the psychology
field because I enjoy learning about people, and how they function. People are
very complicated and I like to try and figure people out. I am a criminal justice major
because I would like to be a psychologist dealing with people who have at some
point in their life been in trouble with the law, or are currently in trouble
with the law. With a psychology degree I have many choices in jobs, but I would
really like to work with prisoners in a maximum security prison. If I cannot
work with prisoners I would like to try to work with the mentally ill in a
mental hospital. Psychology has always
been intriguing and a passion of mine, and I would love to pursue a job in it.
I most likely will not start up my own business, but if I do it will be a
private practice in psychology.
When I looked at the list of many America’s Best YoungEntrepreneurs I saw that there were many successful entrepreneurs, but there
was one that really caught my eye. Glen Nothagel is is twenty three years old
and runs the online company sellbackyourbook.com. I think I admire Glen
Nothagel the most because he started a company to help college students buy and
sell back used books for low prices. It is hard to afford college with the prices
of college today, but people like Glen who come up with these ideas help people
like me afford college. Since I am a college student I really appreciate
companies that try to help out college kids, especially during these hard
economic times. Glen started out his small business with only two thousand
dollars, and a small warehouse. Even though he is a college dropout Glen showed
how intelligent he is by creating this online business. I really do admire Glen
Nothagel
You had five-hundred in your graduating class, holy cow I only had ninety-six in my class. Good job on your class rank that’s awesome! I think was twenty-two, or something like that. Saratoga Springs is a beautiful area, I’ve been there a few time for concerts and what not. I love your pair of psychology and criminal justice it’s a great combination. The field you want to go into seams very fascinating. To me it seems that you have the drive to accomplish anything you want to in life! Also all your backup plans are great ideas! I wish I had more of an idea for a backup plan if things don’t work out. I really like your little blirp about Glen Nothagel he seems like an intelligent fella. I totally agree about school books they are very expensive especially in this economy. So I like that he makes them a billion times cheaper for us!
