Jane Brady.... never Jane.

Hi. I have a double name: Jane Brady. Most people think that it is strange and so do I. And no, I am not named after the Brady Bunch, thankfully. Also, please don't call me Jane or JB because I am not old enough to go by Jane and JB is just annoying. However, if you don't enjoy calling me by my double name... then just stick with JBK (my nickname). It is kind of deceiving though. You think you are saving your breath by saying my initials, but really both my full name and my initials have three syllables. Just a heads up.
I believe that this year is going to be difficult. Actually, I know it will be difficult. ACT, SAT, and PSAT.... DUN DUN DUN! I am already overwhelmed with studying and school work. I am aiming for high scores on my tests so that it will increase my chance of getting into the schools I am going to apply to.

This summer I spent an entire month at the KY Horse Park. I competed against the best riders in the country. What an experience. Intimidation crawled through my veins. I never adapted to the nerves before entering the ring. I remember seeing these riders compete before me, and it was obvious that they could do this in their sleep. Oh, and to top it off, I had to ride the ugliest horse known to mankind, which lowered the possibility of me placing. I had to have a perfect round... yeah. right. Well, the results came in, and I placed second. I think I can classify that as a seminal summer experience since it has catalyzed my riding career in the AA circuit.

As you can tell, I ride horses. They are my passion, and I aspire to be an equine vet. My love for animals has always been unconditional. The interest I have in animals, especially horses, started when I was a toddler, and my grandfather, who was a vet, would take me to his clinic and let me go "behind the scenes." Those are experiences I will always remember.

My favorite website is www.stumbeupon.com. It is very convenient when you are bored!

See ya!
JBK
