About Me

        First and foremost, I am a very proud aunt to a sweet baby boy. My name is Abbie Golleher, I am 19 years old, and I love being at home. I have one sister and one brother, and my parents have been together for 26 years in April. At home, we have 4 dogs: a boxer, a weenie dog, a chihuahua, and a weenie dog/chihuahua mix. I am currently a sophomore at Henderson State University, majoring in early childhood education. After this semester, I am changing my major to Nursing though! The reason I'm changing it is because my sister just recently had a baby in January, and she wanted me to be in the room with her so badly that I decided to inform my teachers of the situation and then skip class on Tuesday, January 21, 2014. I am so glad that I did! It was amazing and very educational to get to be in the room with her, I was the first non-doctor/non-nurse to touch my sweet nephew. Ever since that day, I just cannot get enough of that sweet baby!

       Now I know this makes it seem like all I do is take pictures, but I do other things like ride/race dirt bikes, go to the gym, and study for my classes at Henderson.
       I have been riding dirt bikes since I was 7 years old! That was when dad decided to get my sister and I dirt bikes instead of taking us trick-or-treating, and you better believe that he did not hear any complaints from me! At first we only had one cr50f to share between the both of us, and once dad noticed that we were timing ourselves to see who would win a race if we had two bikes, he surprised us with another bike so that we could race each other! My first race was that year, but my second race was when I was 9, because I got my first concussion at age 8! We still to this day ride dirt bikes when we get the chance.

This is a collage of pictures from our first few races when we were younger.

       I grew up in a little town called Sardis, it is close to Sheridan, but I went to Bauxite all my life. My mom taught school there, so my sister and I grew up in 'Building B' of Pine Haven Elementary. We would follow the janitors around and ask them questions about their day after school.

       I grew up to be a cheerleader and a member of the band once I got to Junior High and High School, back then Bauxite didn't have a middle school. By the time I was a senior in high school, I was a flyer in cheer, could do my standing back tuck, and was first chair in band. I graduated high school on May 17, 2012. The year after I graduated, I came to school at Henderson State University as an incoming undecided major freshman. That year was super tough, because I had been put into University Chemistry 1 instead of General Chemistry, and I had never been in a chemistry class before in my life. Thank goodness that I made a friend at the beginning of the semester who later helped me understand the concepts of mastering chemistry. His name was Joseph Lane, and he was so smart! The summer after our freshman year, Joseph passed away and I miss him every day. We grew to be really close friends, and now there are times when I just wish I could call him up and ask him what he's been up to lately. 
       This year of college has been extremely stressful for me, because it seems like no matter how 'early' I am doing something, I always end up late. I've gotten really into watching the Monster Energy Supercross every Saturday night, and so far that seems to be the only thing that remains the same every week. My favorite 250 rider is a West Coast rider named, Jason Anderson. His racing style is 'dirty and unrefined' as his t-shirt will tell you. My favorite 450 rider is honestly a tie between Ryan Villopoto, Ken Roczen, and Chad Reed. Reed got hurt and is out for the rest of the season, Roczen is the rookie that won the Anaheim opener, and Villopoto is the reigning champ and current points leader. My least favorite out of both the 450 and 250 riders is and always will be James Stewart and his little brother Malcolm, because they blame their team for the things that they break on their bike when they wreck, and they will wreck someone else on purpose if they have the opportunity.

       I have recently decided to get a job other than house sitting and puppy sitting, my first application this year will be turned in at Old Navy and I haven't decided on any other places yet. My friend Taylor works at Old Navy, and she told me that they're always hiring. She and I work out together here at the rec center during the week, and in the summer we are going to work out together at 10 Fitness in Bryant.
