I have always had an interest for law enforcement organizations such as Police, Military and etc. At the age of 18, I applied to the Police Academy of Amsterdam.

Meanwhile I have reenlisted twice after my first contract and by the end of this contract I would be…

I used to dream of being a surgeon. I have dissected frogs starting at the young age of eight, and have since then worked on squids and cats as well. I was always the frontrunner of my group and loved cutting into these organisms to see their intricate setup of organs and the intertwining of the organ systems. I further confirmed this belief through the hit TV series, Grey’s Anatomy; the successes and struggles of those surgeons were an inspiration. However, my outlook on my future career and…

Sone of these facts include that goats really do have wings (long, hairy appendages located at the base of the tail), some of the world’s earliest civilizations thrived on and invented many farming and propagation practices we utilize today, and that only a fraction of the estimated 215,000 species of plants known to man make up the millions that are propagated for food and foliage every year. Agriculture is Florida’s second largest…
