Dear Judges:
My name is Alexis Danielle Lee, I was born and raised in Murrells Inlet, SC. I come from a
family four consisting of my mom, dad, little sister, and myself. I have to rescue dogs that I
adore, Red, an American bulldog x red nose pit bull, and Raisin, a Pitbull x Boxer x Lab. I also
enjoy hunting and fishing, I have been hunting since I was four years old and fishing since I was
old enough to hole a fishing pole. My freshman year I decided that I wanted to graduate high
school a year early be able to jumpstart my education in becoming a veterinarian. I will be
attending the University of South Carolina Upstate to study Pre-Veterinary Medicine, after four
years at Upstate I will be attending either the University of Georgia or North Carolina State
University to obtain my veterinary degree.
As state in my previous paragraph, I love hunting and the outdoors in general. At the beginning
of the semester, I immediately knew that I wanted to do my topic on hunting. At the young age of
three, I began to learn the importance of nature and wildlife. My father starting taking me
hunting on our family hunting club in McCellanville, SC. I have always had a passion for
animals and wildlife and hunting only magnified that passion. I shot my first deer when I was
seven, a doe. I will never forget the feeling of knowing that I was providing food for my family
by harvesting such a magnificent animal. Throughout the years growing up, the woods, and
hunting have been my escape from life in moments that I desperately need a reprieve.
Over all the Senior Exploration process has been one of the highlights of my high school career.
This experience has been very eye opening and stressful at the same time. I enjoyed learning
more information about my passion but also experienced the frustration of running into dead
ends and spending time of useless research. I also enjoyed talking to other people who enjoy
hunting as much as I do. My senior exploration has truly been a good experience that has given
me even more appreciation for hunting and wildlife conservation.
I would like to thank you judges for willingly giving up your time to listen to my presentation
when there are probably many other things youd rather be doing. I hope you enjoy my
presentation and hearing my ramble about something that is so important to me.
Sincerely,

Alexis Danielle Lee
