My name is Ashlyn Odom. I'm a freshman here at Jacksonville and I'm loving every minute of it! So, I guess I can start off by giving you a little bit of background information about me. My birthday is July 24th, 1994, which makes me 18 years old. I was born and raised in Oak Grove, Alabama. Most of you probably are saying to yourself, "I don't know where that is!", don't worry because most people don't! It's about an hour away from Tuscaloosa, Alabama. I attended Oak Grove High School where I was part of many organizations, such as, Math Club, National Honor Society, Ambassadors, FFA (Future Farmers of America), Band, Color Guard, and Winter Guard. Also, during my senior year of high school I was the senior class historian.
But now since I've moved on to college I am beginning to become more involved like I was during high school. I like to stay busy for some reason it keeps me focused on my school work and keeps me from getting into trouble. I am a part of the Marching Southerners as a JSU Marching Ballerina. Yes, it is a lot of hard work having to practice every week during the summer and moving here to Jacksonville three weeks before all the other freshman just to be able to practice. But I love it and my experiences that I've had already are wonderful and I wouldn't change them for anything in this world. This weekend the Marching Southerners are traveling to Arkansas for the football game against the Razorbacks. I cannot wait it is defiantly going to be one of those unforgettable experiences.

When I first saw oak grove I thought it was in Georgia, but then I remembered that it was Oak Hill and not Oak Grove, and then yes I thought that I have never heard of that and where in the heck is that. I think I saw you this weekend at the game, but I'm not sure because it was crazy and I will never forget it. I'm glad I got to have the experience with all of you abd I wouldn't have wanted it any other way. It was nice learning about you and I hope to get to know you better through the semester!
