I'm a passionate and ambitious 21 year old Journalism student at the University of Florida. I'm excited to be pulling myself into the 21st century this semester by learning how to utilize technological tools, such as the web design we're learning in this class.

An image of a peacock we put up in class inspired me to reveal my very real phobia of birds.

             ...I'm only afraid of birds. Not spiders or snakes or roaches. Or tigers. (Well, I'd probably be pretty afraid of a tiger.)

This is a photo of a bird that I found during my last trip to the beach. It was unable to fly and was tussling about in the waves, so we took it out of the water, wrapped in a towel, put it under the dock for shelter and called to report it to the State of Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation. We weren't able to stick around long enough to know if the bird was finally rescued, but we did all we knew to do, and I faced my fear of birds for the sake of its rescue.
