JASE 2016-17: December 2016
I love seeking out adventure and I can't wait to explore Antarctica I am also excited to meet a lot of new friends during my trip. I was born and raised in Texas, so as you can imagine, I am a little worried about the cold weather. I really like chickens! My obsession developed in my sixth grade science class, when we hatched a dozen eggs. I was lucky enough to bring home a chick and soon after, I convinced my family to buy six more chickens. My sisters and I fell in love with our chickens and enjoyed walking them around the neighborhood and collecting their eggs. A few years later, we began to receive complaints from my neighbor about all the noise that they made and had to give them away.
