Would try to make it more personal.) Higgins was very much involved during his high school and college careers. (Would insert more ideas to make it more personal; get information from family and friends.)

After concluding his college career, Higgins earned his real estate license and was associated with the firm of West and Haver in Springfield. Higgins was also a member of the Springfield Jaycees. (Get more information on how he was really involved with Springfield and insert quotes from members of the town)

(Would like to get more information from family and friends. This would make it more personal and allow the reader to get to know Henry Higgins. It would also portray him as being very involved in the community and in everything he did. Would get more information to show that he was a go-getter.
