If you really want to hear about it....
I was born Jessica Lynn Delpiere, to Amy June Delpiere and David Leslie Delpiere on July 7th, 1994, six days late (and my mother claims I gained an ounce for every day I was late.) I lived in town in Allegan on Ely Street up until the summer before sixth grade. I went to West Ward Elementary for my entire elementary career. My mama bought a horse one year when my father was up at Deer Camp, and we boarded it for awhile at a barn on 34th Street - the one right by Christ Community Church. We boarded Bobbie (the horse) for a year before we moved. We bought a house on the other end of 34th Street and have been fixing it and improving it ever since (it's like a never-ending construction project around here.) We now live on 21 acres of mostly woods and pasture and squishy mud and bugs.
My goals in life aren't that far-reaching - I just want to go to college, earn my associate degree in the Veterinary Technician field, be certified, and see what happens after that. After I'm certified, I'd love to find work at a zoo or an aquarium - but a nice domestic animal practice would be fine too, of course.
My successes have been mostly academic recently - I took first individual place in FFA's Veterinary Sciences Competition last year, was accepted at Baker College, and I did the FAFSA (and my taxes...) all by myself finally.
My favorite things about my friends, my family, (and I'm including my boyfriend in this list), are their humor, and the way they love me. And the way they accept my issues and quirks.
