Introduction

This is the first blog I have ever written, so hopefully, it all works out ok.

My name is Julia Young, and I am a junior here at Clemson University. I am a member of the Varsity Rowing Team and have been rowing for seven years. I am a psychology major with a religion minor. I will graduate in the spring of 2009 and from there, I hope to attend law school for international human rights. My dream job after completing all this schooling would be to work for the UN-who knows what the future holds though.

I was born in Syracuse, New York and lived there until I was about 4 years old. My family then moved to Tennessee where I was raised on Signal Mountain located right outside of Chattanooga. I am the oldest of three- my sister's name is Madeleine, who is a freshman at Columbia College of Chicago pursuing a career in acting, and I have a brother named Eric, who is a freshman in high school. My father, Dr. Chris Young is an anesthesiologist and my mother, Vanessa was a nurse until she had my sister and I.

I really enjoy being outdoors and traveling. I love to hike, ride bikes, go for runs-really just anything that keeps me active. I also love to lounge around and hang out with friends too. I have been to Haiti three times so far (hopefully many more trips to come), St. Marrten several times, Cabo, Mexico, Arizona, Utah, New York City, and several others. I hope to travel to many more places throughout my life.

As I'm sure many of my classmates' blogs do, this one only scratches the surface of who I am. However, hopefully this gives a little more information than was known before. Until next time...
