Contrary to popular belief, bulls do not “buck” out of anger,…

town where everyone’s lights were out by 9 pm on a Friday, I always had to learn to adapt to the environment. Those situations varied from learning how to fit into a town where the cliques were established in the 1400s to attending my high schools rodeo, may not seem hard at first, but when you’re the only girl without cowboy boots it is.
