Introduction: Me, Myself, and the wonderful people that make me ME

      Hi! My name is Niamh Clancy and if you read my first post you will know that its pronounced Neve, confusing I know but try growing up with it. In case you couldn't tell by the title this blog is a weekly activity feed reflecting what I and about 500 other students are learning in ENT3003: Principles of Entrepreneurship. This class is different from most and I am still getting use to the blogging aspect, so try and stick with me.
     As i previously stated my name is Niamh, it is Gaelic (Irish) and is pronounced differently because I was born in England. My family moved to America when I was just three and what was supposed to be a two year trip has turned into the past sixteen years of my life. At the time of our move it was just my parents, my baby sister (8 months at the time), and me. Two years later my baby baby sister arrived and bringing with her our only chance at one day having Christmas in the white house, unfortunately she has no desire to become president and itll just have to be up to my future children to get me a place at the presidents table. Since being in Florida we have added onto our family with dogs, cats, fish, rabbits, and hamsters. At current we have a dog named Tucker, a cat named FCAT (i was in third grade at the time!), and a rabbit named bear. All adding up to one crazy family called The Clancy s.
     It is my second year as a part of the Innovation Academy at University of Florida. I am a Biology major and on the pre-med tract, surviving thanks to Starbucks, my amazing friends, baking (and eating everything I bake) and Hip hop fitness classes at the gym (to work off the baked goods). I hope to one day be a Pediatrician and help kids all around the world live the best life possible. Children make me smile and I enjoy being around them, maybe because I still feel like a kid myself most of the time. I want to be able to help them in anyway that I can because a happy healthy child is one of the greatest gifts in life.
     I told a mini lie at the beginning of this post, I said I was still getting use to blogging. The truth is I have written a blog before. I kept it while spending five months in Africa. I should really say "while spending the best five months of my life in Africa." It was life changing in so many ways. I traveled, taught at schools, worked in clinics, lived in an orphanage, went on safari, was attacked by monkeys, rode a donkey, motorcycle, and bush taxi, broke a toe, burst my eardrum, learned three new languages, and met people along the way who will be in my heart forever. If you really want to read more about it the link is here: http://africaadventure2014.blogspot.com/ Feel free to read it, it might make you laugh and it will definitely help you understand me a bit better. There aren't too many posts because as you might guess its pretty difficult to get a good internet connection in parts of Africa, sometimes I even had to stand in the donkeys pen just to get a signal to call my mom. Take my word for it pregnant donkeys do not like sharing their space.
     Well that is probably more than you ever wanted to know about me but thanks for reading. Ill be back again soon with another assignment I am sure. But until then remember The Entrepreneur's Mantra, "Entrepreneurs thirst for negative feedback," so please leave a comment on this post and let me know how I can improve. :)
