Cayman Islands

I wanted to start off by saying, in addition to the Cayman Islands and London programs you have asked me about, I have also participated in the Cuba Spring Break Program and the Granada, Spain summer program. Q) Can you tell me a little about your background and your path to law school? A) During my senior year of high school I enlisted in the Army as a Military Intelligence Analyst. I served in the Army for over 5 years, most of which was spent overseas. When my time in service was coming to an end, I knew I would struggle to find a job comparable to what I did in the military. So instead of looking for similar jobs, I looked for a career path where I could use the skills I developed as an intelligence analyst, namely, research and writing. Those skills flowed naturally into the practice of law, setting me on…

One place you should go to is Grand Cayman. In September 2016, I went on a cruise on the Carnival Breeze. The Carnival Breeze left from Galveston, Texas. It was a seven-day cruise that stopped at three ports. The three ports were Montego Bay, Grand Cayman, and Cozumel. We had four sea days and three port days. The days at sea were very different than the days at port. My favorite day out of all seven days was the fourth day. The fourth day we stopped at Grand Cayman. Grand Cayman was beautiful.…

How close is modern America’s government to controlling all, if not most, of our society today? Our current government gradually begins to take over the lives of people like that in Brave New World.

The author’s vision of a utopian society in his novel is relatively, but not entirely, close to modern American society.…

southern Atlantic ocean. It is a very unique place that few people know about, and that is why I chose to learn more about this culture. It is truly interesting to see how the people on Tristan da Cunha live their lives, and how different their way of life is from our own. There are no airports on the island of Tristan da Cunha, so the only way to get there is by boat, across some of the roughest waters on the planet. Boats from South Africa only travel to the island eight or nine times per…

Is social stability worth the price of giving up your individualism in exchange for a life filled with nothing, but joy? Is this not what everyone thrives for? In the book Brave New World the society that everyone is accustomed makes sure everyone is happy, has a role and title, and there is no crime nor religion. For a society to become a utopia in my opinion, must have these essentials: a society that everyone can be themselves without any worry, crime is a thing of the past, everyone…
