While Marine Biology was my passion, after further researching all my options for college, I had to let reason play a role in determining where I would go. Back in eighth grade, our family vacationed in the Cayman Islands. I had my first opportunity to snorkel around the reefs; I saw eels, stingrays, colorful fish, and corral. Swimming with dolphins only added to the experience. From this moment on, I knew I wanted to study all these amazing sea creatures for a career. In researching colleges that seemed to fit me, I decided on Marine Biology as my intended major. Also around the same time, I became interested in Athletic Training.
