About
   I live in Fremont, IN, a small, country oriented town.  I live with my parents who are very supportive of me.  They are willing to do anything they can to help me succeed in life.  I am very fortunate to have them around.  Without them, I don't know where I would be. Yes, we have had our bad times, but that is in the past now.  The older I get, the more I realize how much my parents were right all along. I have one older sister who recently got engaged.  We have been hard at work planning for her wedding that she is having this August.  I am very excited for her.  I am grateful for my family and all they have done for me.

   I am currently attending the University of Toledo, and I'm taking my Pre-Pharmacy courses.  I hope to get into the Pharm-D program after applying next year.  Once I graduate I have considered moving south (Tennessee or the Carolinas).  I have not completely decided where I would like to work after college though.  I have contemplated between a retail pharmacy or possibly a Children's Hospital of some sort.  

   During the summer I will be starting a new job working at CVS as a Pharmacy Tech in Training.  This means I will eventually work my way to some of the important jobs such as actually filling prescriptions.  But previous to this upcoming summer, I have worked at Yogi Bear Jellystone Park for four years.  I work as a waterslide attendant.  Also my job entails me to work at a water playground for younger children.  This is actually my favorite place to work at the park.  I get to have fun in the water and play with kids all day long while being outside.  Three of my most favorite things to do.  

   I absolutely love being outside.  In the summer you can find me working, on one of the 101 lakes in the county in which I live, or just relaxing by my pool reading a book.  I have played softball since I was five years old, and now that I am in college I defintely miss not getting the chance to play.  Surprisingly I have started reading more often.  I never really had much time for leisure reading, but I am now setting aside extra time before I go to bed to read.  I like watching movies and spending quality time with my family.  My friends are important to me too.  In the winter, you can find me hitting the slopes on my snowboard (when there is actually snow in the area).  This is a hobby that a few of my cousins share also, so we often go together and make it a whole day of boarding and spending time together.  

   Music.  Without it I would go crazy.  I am definitely a big country fan since that is where I grew up. But I also enjoy listening to classic rock.  It honestly just depends on my mood.  When driving back and forth from my home in Indiana to UT, I am usually relaxing to country music.  Other times though, I have a need for some up beat classic rock.  Some of my favorite music artists would have to be Lynard Skynard, Tim McGraw, Tom Petty, Aerosmith, The Counting Crows, and many many more. 

   Overall I am a pretty easygoing type of person.  I have my own personality and my theory is, if you don't like me for who I am then that's ok with me.  I am not going to change just to please someone.  I am who I am.
