Check out my new Viking Log page.  I have placed all of my Viking Log stories on that page.

I'll include some information about my personal history: where I grew up, where I went to school, various places I've lived.

As you know, I used to belong to the Forest Grove FFA.  The advisor of the program is Rolland Aschim (who was one of my favorite HS teachers), and the program is the best in the State of Oregon, and also normally sends it's own delegation to Nationals every year.  In my picture, I am wearing my FFA jacket. 
 
I also belonged to the Forest Grove High School Viking Log.  That was also a lot of fun.  The advisor for the paper is Catherine Bennett.  The Viking Log has been around for sixty years, and before that, it was named the Monday Mourning-Moan.  It was so named because if you were in it, you moaned.  If you weren't, you mourned.  The name was changed when a lot of influential people started demanding that it be changed.  There was a vote of all the students, and the name Viking Log was selected.  Since then, the Viking Log has continued to produce a quality paper, and I am proud to have been on it's staff, even if it was for only one year.

Every summer, Graceland University is host to a huge sports and leadership camp named Spectacular (SPEC for short).  This camp is open to all high school sophomores through high school seniors.  Everyone from a certain region gets put into a "delegation."  I lived in the Northwest all three years that I attended SPEC, so I was in the Northwest Delegation.  There is a lot of stuff that goes on, and it is a blast, even though when you come home, you are so tired that you can't stand up.  I have some really good memories of SPEC, and that was one of the reasons that I am currently going to Graceland University. 

I have mentioned that I am a student at Graceland University.  This is currently my first year here, and I like it so far.  I am a pre-veterinary medicine major, so I spend a lot of time with Chemistry and Biology.  I plan to specialize in surgery when I get my D.V.M., so I will be very busy in graduate school.  After I get my degree, I will still have to pass a board exam in whatever state that I go to.  These exams have made or broken many promising careers, but I think that I will do well on them (ok, so I do have an ego, no matter how small).  I have known that I wanted to be a veterinarian since I was five, so I have been studying for a long time.  I even did my senior project on working at a  veterinary clinic, so I have also been gaining experience as well.  I will attend graduate school at Iowa State University, which has a very strong veterinary medicine program.
