My first post

Hey y'all,

 Well my name is Brandon. I live in Tremonton with my wife and two kids.  I have a 2 year old son whose name is Linkin and a 2 month old daughter named Nixon.
  I attended Dixie State right out of High School. My plan was to go into Mass Communications and become a sports writer.  That was the plan until I looked at the pay scale, which quickly had me changing my mind. I was called on my mission and served in Fort Worth, Texas. When I returned I got a job at Smith Optics in Clearfield, and then I got married. In the last 4 months we have a bought a house and had our baby.  So the last little while has been just a bit busy and I'm finally getting back to school.
  I have decided to major in Business.  Being at Smith Optics, and watching all the "Big Wig" managers do their work, I decided that's what I wanted to do. Being married, and having kids has really motivated me to get back to school and finish.  I have noticed the importance of having a degree, and I want to get it as fast as I can.
   I really think this class is going to be useful for what I want to do for my career.  A problem I have always had with writing, is not having it sound professional.  I feel that having just these basic principles of writing will help me not only get a job easier but help when I actually have the job. I'm excited to get this class going and see the stuff that I will be able to take from it. Even though I have struggled with writing in the past, I'm going into it with a good attitude, hoping it will pay off.
