CORINNE

I grew up in Brooklyn, NY and moved out of the city on my 18th birthday, hoping to explore the country. Little did I know NYC is the center of my world, and there is no other place in the world that comes close! No matter where my travels take me, no matter how long I am there, I never truly feel like it is home.Thomas Wolf once said "You can't go home again"... He wasn't from New York... ___________________________________________________________ I graduated Long Island University (Brooklyn Campus) in May 2005, and traveled/lived in a few other places. I then found myself at Princeton, studying for my masters degree, before I transfered to MSU. Upon completion of my masters in April of 2008, I moved to Boston in an attempt to be a little closer to my family, although I am still missing home!! Mostly I enjoy being with the people I love. As cliche as it may sound, I live for the nights that turned into mornings and the friends that turned in family! ___________________________________________________________ When you lose someone you love, you tend to hold on to those that are still around a bit tighter... ___________________________________________________________ I've been working with Merck pharmaceuticals since I began college, and now am with the MA location! ___________________________________________________________ I've worked hard to get where I am, and I'm not about to let anyone take it. I refuse to let people try to belittle my accomplishments. I always try to remember that no matter how successful you are, there are going to be people who will try to put you down, those people who are too weak to follow their dreams will always find a way to discourage yours... they can't change it, so let them be....
