We actually have five of these signs, so yeah, we're quite proud of our horses in Ocala. The last Triple Crown horse, Affirmed, was actually bred and trained in Ocala, so horses are kind of a big deal. That's about the extent of our fame, though. Other than that, we've got the Ocala National Forest and Gander Mountain. Aside from my great hometown, I'm a junior at UF and I'm majoring in Criminology and Law. I transferred here after attending Santa Fe for two years, and having been a Gator fan my whole life, I was pretty excited about getting accepted.
Interest-wise, I love fishing, hunting, anything on the water, football, and volunteering. Personally, my favorite type of fishing is spearfishing because it's a lot more involved than fishing with a pole, but I'm not gonna complain about any kind. As a volunteer, I do a lot during the summers working with underprivileged kids, but at UF, I'm a Gator for a Day Ambassador and I give individualized tours to high school seniors and answer any questions they may have while trying to convince them to come to school here.
As far as my goals are concerned, I hope to attend law school directly after undergrad. My dream school is the University of Texas-Austin, but I'm also looking at UF, South Carolina, Ole Miss, and Bama. I would like to start out as a personal injury attorney at a firm, but my ultimate goal is to work on criminal cases as either a prosecutor or a criminal defense attorney, I haven't decided yet.
I have a basic understanding of most common drugs and the various effects they may have, but I don't really hold an opinion as to the legality issue. I understand that the government is attempting to protect people, but I also can see the point that if someone elects to take substances that can jeopardize their livelihood and no one else's, they should be given that opportunity once they've been given a chance to develop a basic comprehension of these behaviors and the possible outcomes. So I'd definitely like to look further into that to see if the government should hold that right in the first place or if it should be contained only to a point, such as preventing distribution to minors, etc.
Other than that, I'm looking forward to getting to know y'all and having a great semester with y'all. Go Gators!
