| "After college, I plan to go to Pagosa Springs, Colorado to become a Parelli Instructor (horse trainer) and establish my own barn in order to operate an equestrian program for inner city kids ... In addition, I also feel that God is leading me toward the pediatric nursing field. It may be that my equestrian program will include therapeutic riding for children with chronic or terminal illnesses. I believe that with all of my experience working with the children at church and TROT, God is forming a career path that will honor Him." |
