First Post February 2011


 

Hi my name is James, but my friends call me Jimmy.  I am a transfer student to Salem State from NorthShore Community College.  I am a communter and HATE the parking situation.  Can you relate to it?  I work a few jobs so this online course really helps me out.   One of my jobs is at a card and video store, as you can see from the picture, and  I own a plowing business.  I guess I love money!!  I figure I might as well go for all the work while I'm young. 
Hard at work

 I actually love the winter because of all the great sports and activities.  So far, this winter has been awesome with all the snow.  I just came back from snowboarding a couple of hours ago.  It is so much fun.  I really never have tried skiing, so I guess that is my next thing.  I  also love to travel.  This past summer was great, I went to Europe for a few weeks.  I visited a Belgium chocolate factory, drank at a beer-fest, saw the Eiffel Tower, now know what Big Ben looks like, and did all sorts of tourist attractions. Everything you have heard about Amsterdam is true and then some!!  I love riding motorcycles and racing at New England Dragway in New Hampshire.
I realize most of you in this course want to become teachers.  I want to become a police officer.  Thinking about it they are both somewhat similar, in that we want to help people.  For a long time I wanted to become an electrician.  I actually went to school for that. But, somewhere all the way I changed my mind.
