  Nona L Brown Professor Arini ENG 101-01 February 22, 2026 It’s Never Too Late: Starting My Accounting Degree at 29 Growing up, people have told me all my life that college was a waste of time, but I wasted time by not  starting sooner.

I have traveled to other states and I just want to share the two best places that I really would like to go back to.  Second best place I traveled to Seattle, Washington. I loved this place so much it was so nice a gloomy. it made me want to just put some comfy clothes on and sit by a fire place with nice cup of hot coffee. just seeing the view of the city by the ocean from the space needle. it made me feel very blessed to be able to see all the beautiful places. I visited the museum of pop culture and Chihuly Garden and Glass, they have some very beautiful glass art. My TOP best place I visited was Florida, the weather was amazing and just exploring the place was beautiful. it was very green and there were actually alligators...
