A little More About Me (Revised)

Hey everybody, my name is Michelle. I am from Woodstock, GA where I lived with my mom and dad. I had a sister who was 7 years older than me, but she passed away about 4 years ago. That made me stronger as a person and it has also brought my family closer together. I am very excited to start a new chapter in my life here at Jacksonville.


The reason I came to Jacksonville was so I could be in the Marching Southerners. I knew that I wanted to come here ever since I saw them at the contest of champions when I was a freshman in high school. I remember one of my friends, who was a senior at the time, turning to me, while the Southerners were marching on the field, and saying, "Michelle, this is about to change your life". He was exactly right. When that wall of sound hit me I knew exactly where I wanted to go to college. So, basically band is my life. I can not describe to you how much I love being a Southerner. Dr. Bodiford always tells us to never take being a Southerner for granted. Which being a freshman I sometimes do. He is always reminding us how much of an impact we have on peoples lives. And, like in my case, we sometimes change peoples lives.

My dream in life is to be a hero. So, for my major I chose criminal justice. I planned on majoring in this for most of high school. but when I got to college I wasn't so sure anymore. I think, like everyone else, I was overwhelmed by the amount of work that was expected of me. So for this semester I just took core classes. Which may have set me back a little bit, but that's alright. After college my plan is to go federal. My dream job is to work for the FBI. But I know I won't be able to go into that right after college because you need experience before you can join the FBI. So, my plan after college is to work some sort of security position for a couple years until I can join the FBI.

I hope you have enjoyed reading my little bio. If you want to know anything else about me feel free to come up and talk to me, or leave a comment :)
