New suits for Cody who will be starting his career at Merrill Lynch
Posted Jun 6, 2017
Cody is wishing for this because he needs a suit to start his career at Merrill Lynch and life as a financial advisor. He has been given the opportunity to start a career right after graduating college and officially aging out of foster care, which he knows is one of the best opportunities that he can have and take advantage of and he does not want to lose this opportunity because he does not have a suit.
This will impact Cody in many way. The most obvious way is that he will not lose his job. The second is he will not lose the opportunity to start a career. The third, and least obvious, is that he will not lose out on an opportunity where he can bring back and share with the foster care youth community.
Cody would benefit greatly from this financial advisor opportunity and how it help him to teach other foster youth about it and teach them about the financial industry, so that they can take advantage of the opportunity and become educationally and financially successful.
In Cody's own words: "If I were to have my wish granted than that would mean that I would be given the opportunity to be successful in my new career. I would be given the opportunity to gain knowledge in a field that many foster youth don't have exposure to or knowledge of, and that I can bring back to my community and create opportunity with. I would be given the opportunity to become financially successful so that I can live comfortably and give back to my community."
Cody is 29 years old and lives in NY
Cody enjoys finding new opportunities, taking advantage of those opportunities, and than creating those opportunities for others. For example, Scholarships, Internships, Jobs, Career opportunities, Volunteer work etc. He also enjoys creating outreach programs for foster youth and youth that will enhance their education and financial lives so that they can have less educational and financial burdens later in life. He enjoys giving back and "lifting people up as I climb". Meaning, he is a servant leader and enjoys giving back to his community. Cody absolutely enjoys speaking to people individually and in large crowds and he absolutely enjoy networking. He enjoys coming up with creative solutions to problems and coming up with business ideas. Cody enjoys being an entrepreneur and leader within his business interest. Lastly, he absolutely loves learning about new ideas, opportunities, and programs/organizations. He enjoys learning about everything and anything possible because the more knowledge he has the more knowledge he can share and give to others, which will hopefully benefits everyone. Cody recently graduated from Hobart and William Smith Colleges, this past Sunday, May 14th (Mothers Day) with a Bachelors of Arts Degree in Architecture. He worked at the Colleges, in multiple different departments, creating outreach programs and assisting departments in events and programs. Currently, Cody has accepted a job at Merrill Lynch in their 4-Year Practice Management Development Program, where he will become a financial advisor and start his own Wealth Management Business. He will be starting Friday, June 23rd, after he returns from a NASA competition at Wallops Flight Facility.
