About me
I am 26 year old Jamaican pursuing studies in America. I transfered to Monroe college in September 2005, and completed my BBA in December 2007. Currently, I am on a six month “work break” and will start Law School in September 2008.
Before coming to America, I worked at the National Housing Trust in Kingston, Jamaica. While at the Trust, I found the “We Care – Adopt a Child Program”. Through this initiative, we adopted several needy high school students, and took care of their expenses. We also provided mentor-ship to these ambitious young Jamaicans. In the aftermath of Hurricane Ivan in 2004, I rallied staff support to collect food and other essential items to assist the Jamaica Red Cross with their relief effort.
While at Monroe college, I founded the Pre-Law club and Debate Society. I also held leadership positions in several other on campus organizations, allowing me to represent the school at numerous events New York, Philadelphia, Connecticut, Washington DC, Kansas and St. Lucia.
I will use this blog to document my pursuit of a career as a corporate lawyer. I will also use it to answer any related questions which reader may pose.

While browsing the Web I stumbled upon your blog page. There is not much to say other than YOU WERE BORN TO LEAD, and you confirm one of our sayings in Jamaica: “We little but we talawah.” I am currently writing a book and would love to include your story and achievements to date. Please give me a link when you have some time.
Respect,
