Hey guys!
Well, I'm Shelby Bryant, from Bryant, AR. I've lived in a few places throughout my life. I was born in Washington State in 1991 where my dad was in the military. Once he finished his time of duty we moved back to my parent's homestate, Indiana, and stayed there a few years while my dad tried to establish himself. When things didn't work there, he called his uncle here in Arkansas, and my uncle got my dad hooked up with a engineer job at Falcon Jet. We've lived here most of my life. I've done some extensive traveling growing up. I've traveled to multiple places across the United States, I've visited Mexico on more than on occasion, multiple cruises where the destinations included Jamaica, Grand Cayman Island, and Cozumel. My most memorable trip I've taken so far, is the one I took last July. I went to the country Panama for a month with Dr. Engman and 12 other classmates and it was one of the most amazing experiences I've had. So I am really looking forward to taking another trip with the school!
I'm a biology major here at Henderson. I'm not too sure what I want to do when I graduate but I have to options that I'm deciding between. I would like to go to either grad school and pursue a PhD in pharmacology OR go to UCA after my time here at Henderson and get my PhD in physical therapy. But anything that will give me that Dr. in front of my name will make me happy though.
I enjoy doing a lot of things, but the one thing that has always just made me "lose" myself when I'm having a bad day, or even a good one, is soccer. I've played it all my life up until college, but I still play on summer leagues and try my hardest to stay involved in intramurals here at college.
I hope this trip is another big learning experience for me, like Panama was. I grew tremendously as a person while I was there, and I would continue with that when we visit Ireland and Scotland. I wasn't going to go on this trip, but my best friend, Abby Clark, signed up to go and I thought to myself there is no way she is going across the pond without me! So the next day, I signed up and paid my deposit. So I'm so excited to be going with my best friend and to have a fun trip with her before she starts her teaching career in the fall!
