My name is Ashley Miner, and I am twenty years old. My brother, Mathew, is sixteen, and both my parents are living. I have a cat, and help my brother take care of two lizards and a ball python. Since I was eight I've taken horseback riding lessons and still own my horse who I have worked with since I was fourteen. As with most little girls, and to this day, I enjoy all things that involve horses. I paint them, write about them, ride them, and use them to teach confidence and self-assurance to other young girls. I started coaching when I was twelve, and when I was thirteen, I began assisting challenged children and adults at a specialized riding facility.
I thoroughly enjoy helping others and learning, and am happiest when those two elements combine. Writing has always been a passion and I look forward to expanding my abilities. Being technologically challenged, I ask for forgiveness for my frequent, seemingly ridiculous questions. Also, I am impossible to offend, so there is no need to preface a comment with "no offense but..." That is not necessary, I am here to learn.
Lastly, I love to work. Whether it be waiting tables, washing dishes, working in a barn, cleaning a house, or working on a paper or project, I absolutely love to work.

This blog began as a class requirement, but I feel ready to branch out and publicize my new projects. I welcome all constructive criticism; please feel free to comment. When it comes to education, my feelings are not a factor.

Wow, you are brave to ride horses and own all those animals...I know I couldn't do it! I think it's great that you like to work and help others. Its rare that you find people our age who care about either :)
ReplyDeleteI love horses. Although I have never been lucky enough to own one myself. My Father sent me to horse camp when I was twelve. I have had a passion for them ever since. I also find that it's better to be open minded and accepting of what others have to say. It is very hard to offend me as well. :)
ReplyDeleteMy brother is nine is also has a snake. I really don't like snakes, especially when it comes to feeding time, so I let him take care of it with my parent's help. Props to you for being braver than me! And, horses are some of the most majestic creatures. I love them too and wish I had more time to spend with them! Our class seems to be full of animal lovers!
ReplyDeleteI am a workaholic, so I feel you on that one! I h ave never been on a horse, but would really like to learn how to ride one! I think that is awesome that you help young girls!
ReplyDeleteI think it is fascinating that you found away to build confidence among young girls through horseback riding. I know horseback riding can be challenging, but once you overcome your fears you feel powerful. Also, when it comes to you asking ridiculous questions, I have the tendency to do the same thing.
ReplyDeleteI'm a server at Johnny's Pizza right now, and even though people say I'm crazy for actually enjoying it, I get a lot out of the new people I meet as well as the regulars. Honestly, if I wasn't working I would just be sitting at home doing nothing, so I'm thankful for work to keep me busy too!
ReplyDelete"Also, I am impossible to offend, so there is no need to preface a comment with 'no offense but...' That is not necessary, I am here to learn." So, I love this. I prefaced the last work shopping class I took with "Do you want me to be nice, or do you want me to tell you the truth?" I think the truth works a heck of a lot better, but if people want to live in a fictional world where they're fantastic, who am I to tell them no, right? I think you and I are going to get along just fine ;-).
ReplyDeleteAnd I wish I had the same work ethic everyone else in the class seems to! I usually have to drag myself to work. When I'm there, I'm focused, and I tend to bring my work home with me, but sometimes it's at the expense of my sanity.
Your good work ethics will come in handy... I have to find inspiration sometimes to get up and work especially if its something i don't want to do. And your right you are here to learn, so ask as many questions as you need too.
ReplyDeleteI see you like animals. I like the you found and direct distinction between what you love to do and helping others at the same time
ReplyDeleteI would like of learn more about how you use horses to help young girls. I think its cool like you like so many different types of animals.
