Reflection on upcoming trip

       I am thrilled to get a chance to see a climate where startups succeed in just a few weeks! According to Silicon Valley really is more innovative by Lisa Krieger startups have 20 times the average median of quality and 90 times of the lowest ranked cities in California. Other geographies like Silicon Valley tend to focus more on quantity and not quality saying geographic is “nurturing.” I look forward to witnessing first hand these startup companies and then looking at others that once were startups such as Google and Facebook. They claim “we have a habitat here that creates a supportive environment” and I look forward to witnessing how they support each other. Due to their intellectual capital through universities such as Stanford, UCLA, and Berkeley they get the highest quality of startups around research institutions that attract bright curious, energetic and ambitious people.

Intro to myself

Hi! I am Gregory Bury, a junior a Curry College in Milton Massachusetts. I came from a small town in western Massachusetts called Adams. I grew up playing and watching baseball and fell in love with the sport. It is my dream to work in baseball and have a baseball field for an office. Curry is helping me prepare myself for that through the honors program. I am conducting my honors thesis on the essential economic elements of a successful baseball team and the mythology behind the fans and players. I also recently accepted a position with the Bourne Braves as an intern, in the Cape Cod Baseball League (the most well know summer collegiate league in America). In a few weeks I will be going to California Silicon Valley which I am thrilled to experience the west coast for the first time. I would say I am an introvert person but once a person gets to know me and could be perceived as an extravert.
