You must be the change you wish to see in the world.

Welcome to my blog! This blog is about myself, David Bosak. I am presently a Junior at The College of New Jersey, and transferred from Mercer County Community College. My major is communications with a concentration in public relations, and aspire to work for, or own a big firm one day. I also aspire to work for a pharmaceutical company, because of my background in nutritional supplementation and sales. I am a very energetic and motivated student, with a very positive attitude. I realized how important a good education is, (a.k.a. getting a degree) after working in the corporate field for a some time. It is now that I attain the right attitude with a new sense of motivation for education, and plan to make a big impact in an excellent way for my next employer.

Letter of Intent
It is my intention this online portfolio can help me land an internship in the public relations field for this summer, and more following during my senior year.
Biography
This is the enticing story of my life. I was born on March 14, 1983, as a Pisces baby. Growing up I was very active, and participated in various sports. I played soccer and baseball in elementary school, and played football and wrestled in high school. Besides sports, I had a fascination for weather, and storms. I was always motivated in school, and received good grades. I was placed in honors classes in elementary, and middle school, and took advanced placement cources in high school. I graduated with a 3.2 GPA.
Coming fresh out of high school with a diploma, in the summer of 2001, I did not know what I wanted to do. My dream job was to originally become a meteorologist, and chase storms. I knew it would take a lot of math, which was not my specialty, considering I did much better in my english courses. I knew the course ahead would be tough, but I was up for the challenge. I registered at Mercer County Community College in the fall of 2001, and the mission was set. I was to persue a chemistry major and transfer to Cook College of Rutgers to major in meteorology.
I did rather well the first semester at Mercer County, but the second semester I did not. I did rather poorly in the Calculus and Chemistry, and realized that this route was not for me. Realizing my weakness, I still did not know my strength. My friend's girlfriend asked me if I would like to try acting, and I figured why not. I was accepted to an agency in modeling and acting, called MMA in Philadelphia. I landed a couple auditions, but I got discouraged and participated less and less as the years went by.
In the winter of 2003, while working as a sales associate at General Nutrition Center, my management had taken a liking to me and asked me to become a manager. Not knowing what I wanted in school, I accepted. At first I worked as a manager for one store, then two stores, and was being trained to become a Senior Store manager, which involved being in charge of a grouping of stores. My sales were excellent, and my team was doing very well. My Regional Manager and I was very excited. However, as time passed, I was starting to realize that my passion was not in this field. I stepped down in the summer of 2006, and registered back at Mercer County Community College that fall.
Now, I knew that I had a new direction, and new my strength- communications. Yet I knew that I needed a degree to get a job that I really wanted. My new aspiration was to transfer to The College of New Jersey, in my mind one of the best schools out there. With this new sense of motivation, I made the Presidents list and Deans list and was accepted to The College of New Jersey the following year. My first semester at The College of New Jersey I maintained this drive and made the Deans list again. This brings us to the present. Now, I am focusing on internships.
