Hi I'm Laura. This is my second year at Unity College and I love it. I came here from a small town in Central/ Upstate NY. Their's not really to much to do there exect fish which is always fun. I grew up taking horse back riding lessons and eventually started teaching it. I even went and showed at the Appolosa Youth World Show in Oklahoma. Besides horses, I took dance lessons, ran XC and rode 4 wheelers and dirtbikes around in the mud. I would come home a gross mess.
What brought me here to Unity was my love for animals. Ever since I started riding horses I knew someday my career path would lead to an animal related field. I'm currently majoring in Captive Wildlife Care and Edu but I still have no clue what I actually want to do.
Over the summer I interned at a local zoo near my house. I worked in the education department which was a blast. I went out on zoomobiles, helped organize and run day camps,gave daily animal presentations and clean animal enclosers. My favorite animal to work with was the Opossum. He was adorable. The Virgina Opossum is the only marsupial found in the United States.
Well that's a little about me and what I like to do. I would consider myself a pretty simple and easy going person. I get along with pretty much everyone.

Good job Laura. Nice touch including the link!
ReplyDeleteYour internship sounds pretty cool. I've always found opossums to be cool animals, but then again they were about the only wildlife to enter my backyard.
ReplyDeleteI like your title, by the way.
