02/02/2011 ENC 1101 ORLANDO, FL: MY FAVORITE PLACE TO LIVE Last weekend, my brothers and I went to one of the coolest theme parks in Orlando, Island of Adventure. We spent a nice day together and it was really cool since we usually don't hang out too much. My oldest brother just graduated from UCF and he found a job with one of his teachers. He has been working a lot lately and he doesn't have enough time to spend with his brothers. On the other hand, my second oldest brother is studying to get his Master's degree in Business Administration at Webster University, so it's pretty difficult for him too.
Company History Jackson Hewitt was founded in 1982 by John Hewitt, who was a former employee of H&R Block.
