What I Learned

What stuck with me in this class is when Mrs. D'Alessandro said "respect is not earned, respect is given by respectful people. Also, when she said when people have something negative to say even if it wasn't suppose to be negative and you had taken it the wrong way always take it in a positive way." This is very true. I'am glad to have a teacher with common sense and knowledge of the real word. I believe that teachers who speak in such a way are wise, and have better connections with students. For instance it's like a little light bulb goes off in your head that makes you say hey she knows what she is talking about, and makes you even want to pay closer attention.

God bless, and best of luck to everyone and your futures. :)

Thank you.

My Dream Job

The FBI is an agency responsible for investigating violations of the Federal laws. The agency protects and defends the United States against terrorism, foreign intelligence threats, and domestic threats. They provide leadership and criminal justice services to all ranks that include federal, state, municipal, and international agencies and partners. This is why I wish to pursue a career with the FBI to work among the best, and to be apart of a team that faces challenging missions, and to conquer those missions with success. I would like to be part of the Criminal, Cyber, Response, and Services Branch, which is responsible for investigating financial crime, white-collar crime, violent crime, organized crime, public corruption, violations of individual civil rights, and drug-related crime. My main goal in this field would be focusing on violent crimes against children such as kidnapping, sexual exploitation, child pornography, other related crimes against children, and human trafficking.

What Motivates me

Hi everyone, I would like to start off by introducing myself my name is Toni Alexiss Martinucci. Italian and proud. My biggest motivators are my family. In this life I was blessed by God with 3 amazing best friends my great grandfather, great grandmother, (who are both deceased and I miss them terribly) and my mother. Education is very important to me, and is also a motivator as well since I would like to pursue a career in the FBI. The reason why I’m at Niagara County Community College is to obtain my associates degree in accounting. I have been very successful here and proud of my accomplishments. I maintained my 4.0 GPA, and I’m a member of Phi Theta Kappa. I plan on transferring to Niagara University next spring to obtain my bachelors then my masters degree to become a CPA. I believe that everyone on earth has a purpose in life and I believe mine is to fight back against those who do wrong by others and win.
