Graduate school interests

For Grad School I would like to enroll in a Veterinary school. I would like to go the Utah State University.

Outside the classroom

My hobbies include just about everything. I have been a member of FFA and during that time raised Market/show lambs, and competed in many different agriculture competitions and activities. I enjoy being in the mountains Hunting. Hunting is great because it involves many outdoor activities like four wheelers/horseback riding, hiking, and lunch. The lake is the second best place to be. Fishing is a great way to increase patience and tell funny movie quotes.
If I am not out on the lake or in the mountain, I like to just work. It sounds like a boring hobby but I enjoy seeing progress and the accomplishment of hard work. Plus with hard work comes the great smells of life such as cut grass, cow pies, and vegetable gardens.
