In today’s society, only the best succeed. This is why every day I live by the Travis Manion quote, “If not me, then who.” Meaning, if I am not the person to fill the position and complete the task as perfectly as possible, then someone less prepared will have to. I have had the opportunity of graduating from Florida State University with a Bachelor of Science in Social Sciences. I was initially debated on what this degree could offer for me.
