How Current Events Shape Your World: January 2014

My name is Nicole Alison Riordan I am 26 years old. I am from Wakefield MA which is a small town 25 minutes north of the North End part of Boston. I grew up in Wakefield my entire life, Wakefield is a great town to grow up in. One of my favorite things about my town is your 25 minutes from the city or 25 from the beach. Personally I like to drive a little further North to Gloucester which has some of the most beautiful beaches in New England I think. So thats a little information about my hometown.! A little about me now! I'm currently a student part time at Bunker Hill and my major is Psychology. It is very important to me to keep a good GPA so I can transfer to a university when I have finished my courses at Bunker Hill. I have worked for the past 5 years part time at a marketing company in my hometown of Wakefield. My life at the moment is pretty much all about school and work its my number one priority!
