Short response 3(classwork)
After CCBC i plan to enter the work force. in order to do this i must seperate myself from college students. i plan to do this by simply stop going to CCBC and as for my friends they live on campus at distant colleges which makes seperation from them easy for me to do. i plan on transitioning by getting a full time job and making freinds with my co-workers and other more responsible people. i'll do this by talking with my co-workers and by continuing to coach rec. football. i'll incorporate my knowledge of new as a worker by keeping my job past the truial period where my supriors will critique my abilities and morales. another thing i will do is practice my skills as often as possible.

Family Name
My name is Martin Joseph Iaconi 2nd. I am named after my dad who got Martin from his dad and Joseph from his uncle Joe. Some of my nicknames are Marty, Moose, Party Marty and Spaghetti O's. I got Spaghetti O's when I played rec. football because during the first day of practice I vomited up spaghetti; in fact, we went to the second round of the playoffs and the following year we went to the championship so the team said that me puking was good luck. My last name is Italian and it was pronounced (Ja cone E) but was changed to (I a cone E).
This was done because people were looking for relatives of Frank Iaconi, the Worcester Mafia leader. Frank controlled illegal gambling and worked with Raymond Patriarca. Frank was a meek appearing, bespectacled and a quiet dressed man who didn't show off his money or power. Frank's gang fought a war against Patriarca's gang and ended up making peace after Raymond sucessfully robbed four of Iaconi's casinos taking Iaconi's money; this war is unique because they did not go and kill each other with drive by shootings instead they attached each others money. Since the money was illegal the robbers were not reported and had not been noticed by the media or the public at the time. In 1950, Kefuaver and his commitee, put together by the federal government, reviewed Iaconi's tax returns and noticed he didn't pay all the money he owed and they arrested him. While in court he was asked to give up evidence to the police so they can arrest Patriarca, but knowing he had little time to live he decicded he would rather die in jail than turn in an ally and ruin his reputation as an honorable man. After his arrest the media searched for Iaconi's family and relatives, but the famliy decided to change their name and was able to avoid the media. This is why my last was changed and why we are smarter than the media.
