Friends, family and readers have asked me why of all places, did I pick New Hampshire?
First, it’s more of a spiritual thing. I wouldn’t have chosen New Hampshire had I not believed I was “called” there. Secondly, I remember having a “favorite president” growing up — Franklin Pierce. Oddly, Pierce is the only president from New Hampshire.
More importantly, I need a new chapter in my life in a new place and with a new focus. I’ve got a one-track mindset now that is very clear, and that is to obtain a legal education of some sort (the ultimate goal is to become a lawyer.)
My dealings here in Ellis County for the past 27 years have given me a lot of experience in various fields: public policy; politics; business; social networking, just to name a few.
That about sums it up. I don’t have plans to replicate any part of my controversial life from Ellis County in the great white (as in snow) north. I actually want to come back after school and pick up where I left off. We’ll see.
After visiting Manchester last year for spring break, I knew the state was my cup of tea. You can’t go wrong with a state that has no sales tax or personal income tax.
