You know, my doctors in Danville misdiagnosed me with rheumatoid arthritis. I went to Duke and all my tests were negative and normal. The doctor at Duke literally diagnosed me with stress from not being able to ride my horses due to college. That's crazy, but he's the expert. Well, maybe that's what I am trying to run to...wherever the horses are is where I will most likely end up.

Hate to break it to you, but NC isn't a bad state compared to most. Florida is rough...

You think it will be better, but when you get to a place where you have very few friends and family, you'll miss what you were running from to begin with.

I don't know... less than a month after I got to NYC for college (knowing absolutely no one) my aunt wrote me a sweet letter that ended with, "You sound like you're finally where you belong." And lo these many years later, she was right. She usually is.

Don't get me wrong, I looooove my family. But I love them even more from a distance.

Kentucky, if you're supposed to be someplace else, you'll know it when you get out. And if you're not, you'll figure that out, too. I guess it's just different for each person. Cajun, are you still pretty close to where you grew up?

And so I'm not totally off thread-- I'd be happy to see DC in the Cigar Mile... give me another excuse (reason) to go to Aqueduct in the winter.

Nah, NC isn't a bad state, but I like traveling and experiencing new things. I'm a very restless person. My little sister is just like me, and she just took off for the Navy. She is in boot camp right now. We both want to see the world.

I won't miss not having a racetrack in NC, or the fact that I live an hour away from the closest stable. However, I know that I will get lonely sometimes and will miss my family. Luckily, I can always come back.

I've only lived in NC for about three years, and most of my family and friends live over an hour away from me. Besides my mom, I don't get to see them very much because of my hectic schedule. I don't miss where I used to live in VA one bit.

I'm going to follow my dreams, and they aren't going to happen here in NC. Like I said, I'm not running away from NC, but am following my heart. Right now, I feel like I am boxed in because I'm tied down at this community college and I have to graduate in May so that I can go to a four year school. I want to go find my dream job in the racing business, and I'll do what it takes to achieve my goals.
