I enjoy being an informed American citizen and following politics. Last night’s CNN Tea Party debate was filled with heated discussions. For me the political drama is pure entertainment. I do not sit and wait for the government to save me.

I grew up with an 8th grade education. I fought my way to get my GED, an Associate’s Degree and finally my Bachelor of Business Administration in Marketing. Last year I oversaw the Eastern half of the country as the Senior Manager of Field Marketing for Jackson Hewitt Tax Service.

Currently I am one of many Americans seeking a new job. My past has taught me that I must use the strengths that God has blessed me with to find that next career. Yes, government programs may help create more jobs, but Americans need to give it their all to make a good life for themselves.
