About

i worked construction until the economy took the downward turn in 2008. at that point i looked for a job and found nothing for three years. every so often i might get a few days work. them it was back to looking for something and finding nothing. frustrated and disappointed i thought well if i had started back to school i would be close to graduating. i decided to go back. i mean at that point the only thing i had to lose was the frustration and disappointment of being rejected for a job. i figure by furthering my education, improving myself, and making grades worthy of being a member of the honor society i will be able to get a good job when i graduate from Clemson University.

Goals and interests

Career goal

i have always enjoyed being outside close to nature and am not afraid of hard physical labor. taking these things into consideration i decided that being a forest ranger, park ranger, game warden, ect. ect. would be the perfect job for me. it is my sincerest hope that one of these jobs or something very similar is the end result of me furthering my education.

Graduate school interests

i want to earn my B.A. and get a good job. if i got an offer i could not refuse it was so good i would go to graduate school. other than that i want to rejoin the work force with a job that reflects my new chosen field.

Outside the classroom

i like to watch football and go to the games. i love to shoot pool when i have time. i enjoy camping out on the river. i like to swim. i love to go cat fishing especially if they are biting good and i can stay all night. i enjoy reading if the book can draw me in. Robert Jordan's series The Wheel of Time was the best book series i have read to this point.
