West Point Military Academy turns Belizean young woman into soldier
Meet Cadet Justine Swift. She is a 20-year-old student, attending the West Point Military Academy, in West Point New York (50 miles north of New York City.) Originally from Bomba Village in the Belize Rural North, Swift grew up in Belize surrounded by 6 siblings. Village life was slow and did not offer much in line of entertainment or opportunities. But that didnt bother her. With five brothers and a sister, home was an interesting place to be. She attended primary school and then moved on to Stann-Creek Ecumenical High School. Not quite satisfied, she decided to pursue a Bachelors Degree at the University of Belize. Her plan was to graduate and find a job like everyone else in her family had done, and then settle down. Then out of the blue, an opportunity to attend West Point Academy came up.

Ralph Schultz, the Nashville Chamber of Commerce's president and CEO and a main proponent of a new downtown convention center, said both proposed facilities are “so important to each other in harmony" because they cater to two different marketplaces.
