He briefs us on the “saddest moments as a career counselor [] when [he] hear[s] a story like this: ‘I wasn’t a good student in high school, but I wanted to prove to myself that I can get a college diploma--I’d be the first one in my family to do it. But it’s been six years and I still have 45 units to go’” (Nemko 32). Right off the bat, Nemko gains trust through his appeal to ethos. His “saddest moments as a career counselor” tell us of his knowledge of the

Alexander Supertramp, a nickname used by Chris McCandless, stunned the whole nation with his unique experience. Some people said that he was a hero and he escaped from tarnished and sinful world to a wonderland in Alaska where he could live in harmony with nature. On the other side, some people judged that he was a tactless idiot who paid a price for his recklessness.

Motivation and drive help push people to do incredible things. Striving to be like my brother wasn’t motivation to push myself to work hard. I learned that I wasn’t going to be successful if I kept comparing myself to his blinding success. I resorted to looking for an interest that I truly had passion for. I set my attention on DECA, a business organization that built a business acumen. I decided to start taking competition seriously. The stock market competition caught my eye because it was a competition where students could invest in stocks, which were synched with the live stock market. Competing sparked my interest in investments. I learned about how the market worked, types of investments, how to analyze stocks, and the different applications of finance. Once the competition began to level off, I was top 10 in the world. This was the first successful extracurricular activity I had been a part of that didn’t involve my family. It was a phenomenal feeling. Finance then became my passion, and I began to picture myself in this profession.

I think that Chris McCandless was influenced by the author Jack London, Thoreau,and Tolstoy.

Furthermore, in August 1858, Hadcroft passed away aged 48. There is some speculation that Hadcroft may have dabbled in cattle

Going against society is something only very few have done. Not only have they put their name on the line but everything they have done and said. Society is what makes us humans in the modern world. Society says you should go to college and you should raise a family but is it right to do what society tells you ? If what you want is more or less does that make you an awful and ungrateful person. I believe it doesn't we live in the modern age and ethics and values have changed for the most part people today don't do things people would have done 50 years ago.

As a teenager I had a professor who taught economics with practical examples by sharing profiles of preeminent business leaders. He continually reinforced the point that most of them started early in their careers and shared a dogged focus for self-improvement. Realizing my acumen for business and finance, I decided to learn as much as I could working full-time in banking, insurance, and investments at large financial institutions including JPMorgan Chase while pursuing my Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration at the University of Texas at San Antonio. These roles taught me to work systematically and played a significant role in my ability to master the concepts presented in the classroom.
