About
Hey y'all, my name is Abbigayle Holliday, I usually just go by Abbi, and I am from Poplarville, Mississippi. I am currently enrolled in the fall semester at the University of Southern Mississippi, and I plan to achieve my bachelors degree from there. With the big dream of owning my very own business, I hope to receive my bachelors degree in Business Law within the next four years. After I graduate from USM, I plan to attend graduate school and obtain my masters in Law. I have high hopes, and I am doing everything I can to set my path to achieve them!

I have grown up with a very busy lifestyle, always going somewhere new, or trying something new so my hobbies are very broad. From water skiing, to riding horses, all the way to competing in varsity basketball ball games, I have a love for sports. I enjoy any type of water skiing, snow skiing, or even wake boarding. I spend most of my junior high and high school hours on horse back. Also, I have accomplished many great things through rodeo, and I hope to keep achieving greatness in the future.
