My Summary of a Country Girl Life
 Hey! If you don't already know me, my name is Rachel Chandler. I am 18 and will be 19 on June 22. I was born in Fort Worth, Texas and raised in the small town of Blakely, Georgia. That's right... I'm a Georgia Peach! Most of my visiting friends would pronounce Blakely as "ghetto" or "country ghetto"! I guess I would also have to agree. I have two brothers and an older sister, Will, Michael, and Renee. My parents are divorced and I live with my mother. I graduated with a class of about 170 students from Early County High. I was tenth in my class and an honor and Beta graduate. I spent almost my entire life taking dance and shouting at the top of my lungs as a cheerleader.   I knew I couldn't stay in Blakely for the rest of my life because I was an adventurer. I can never stay in one place for too long. I was accepted at Valdosta State University with the hopes of becoming a teacher. I decided I couldn't handle a bunch of screaming kids, so now I am undecided. I am thinking of a career in business, possibly. I also joined a Greek association, Alpha Gamma Delta. The girls rock! By the way, Valdosta is a great place and it has a wonderful party atmosphere.

   

 

My Freshman Year Experience
Let me just say.....Whoa, what a year! I don't think I could have managed without the FYE program. Any Freshman entering Valdosta State should take this program. My first semester was tuff! With my VSU 1101 class, I was able to learn how to manage my time wisely and how to take great notes. I had no trouble getting the course that I needed and I also got great teachers in the process. This past semester was definitely better with managing time and studying. It only took me one semester to learn the ropes. The Freshman Year Experience also deals with volunteer work and service hours. It is a great opportunity to get involved with the campus and community.
