When I was four years old I knew exactly what I wanted to do, "I'm going to be a pirate, but not one of those bad ones." Then when I turned eight my eyes had really opened to the world and I discovered what the world had destined for me, "I AM going to become a dentist!" what kind of eight year old wants to become a dentist? Then I turned fourteen and had acquired all the knowledge the world could offer me. I had decided to become a police officer. One- because police officers get to drive those cool cars, "the ones with the sirens." Two- police officers get to help people who are hurt or in danger.

My aspirations have grown throughout the years alongside me, constantly seeking for greater challenges. I have now decided, and currently working towards, a career as a pediatrician.

I am currently going to Lane Community College in Eugene, OR and working towards my AAOT. I am planning to transfer to a four year university, O.S.U. or U of O. After my foray with the University I will go to a medical school, right now I am considering PSU. All together it will take around ten years. People ask me, "You must be so burnt out", or say "You're going to be exhausted." I look at them and then tell them that school has always been interesting and enjoyable and I don't see a change in my state of mind any time soon, at least the next nine years.

I graduated from Creswell High School, Creswell, OR.

I am employed at Ray's Food Place in Creswell, OR.
