#1

232. Right now I'm the 3, currently in Oakland, sandwiched between home and home. The first of which I lived for 18 years, and the second of which I'll
live for a mere 7 months, though it will certainly feel much longer. I'm the 3…. three hours behind in time from where I'd be if I never left the first "2". Leaving in 10 for Stanford, I'm excited but nervous. To everyone back home, I'll see you in no time….. If you count two hundred thirty-two days as no time.

About Tiarnan Ferry

My name is Tiarnan Ferry, and I'm a senior at Williamsport Area High School in Williamsport PA, graduating on June 7th. I am passionate about the environment, and enjoy learning about and interacting with the ecosystems and animals that live in them. Reptiles and fish are two of my favorites, and I have loved snakes ever since I was a kid. Learning about ecosystems and animals in another country will be really exciting, and I hope to learn a lot about how the people there interact with them. One of my goals for the upcoming year is to find a species of snake or other reptile near where I will be living, and find a way to help the species better survive in the environment there. This could be something like cleaning up the habitat and preventing further contamination. Although I am not yet sure what I will be doing, I am very excited to travel and find out.
