Greece

My name is Ashley Birchmeier; I am a freshman at Defiance College. My hometown is Vaughnsville Ohio with a population of about 200 people.  I attended Columbus Grove High School where I was a two sport athlete. I played both basketball and softball in high school. My favorite of the two sports is basketball but I am much better at softball. In softball I played first base and basketball I was a post. After graduating high school my only plan was to go to college and Defiance College was the only place I applied to. Here at Defiance College I play basketball and considered softball but felt it would be to over whelming. I have an older brother, 22, who is currently enrolled in the police academy and when I am not living in the dorms I live at home with him and my parents. My parents when I was younger took my brother and me on a trip to Alaska. This is the farthest I have ever been from home but I hope to go overseas someday and visit a foreign country.

                The country I choose was Greece. The reason for choosing this country was because of its rich history in the field of art. I really don’t know a lot about the country Greece but I hope through this assignment I will learn a lot about it. I also really enjoy the food of this culture and hope to find new and delicious forms of food that I didn’t previously know about.
