Website Introduction

Hi, my name is William, and this is my first website. I am currently a senior at Princeton
majoring in economics with a certificate in finance. I was born in New York City but grew
up in Nashville, Tennessee. Growing up I enjoyed playing sports and spending time outdoors.
At Princeton, other than doing school work I enjoy playing on the club lacrosse team and
hanging out with friends. Since coming here, I have also picked up tennis and squash as a
great way to exercise and spend time with friends. While the weather is nice out it's always
fun to be outside and have a competitive match.

<My Pets>

When I was younger our first pets were two cats named Lego and Beaker. They
were brought to us by Santa on Christmas, and were great pets. However, one of them was eaten
by a fox when it was a kitten, so we were only left with Lego. My parents obviously wouldn't tell
us that one was eaten, so they said that it went to a happy farm.

Other than the cats, my family has also had two dogs. The first was a big brown labradoodle named Chewbacca, who
was a perfect dog and very well-trained. When he started to get old we were worried that he wasn't being active enough
while we were at work and school, so we decided to get another dog to keep him company. This one is still alive, and
is a small black cocker spaniel poodle mix named Penny. When Penny was a puppy, she would just follow around Chewbacca
and do whatever he did, so we figured that she would pick up on his training and we wouldn't need to give her any formal
training. This didn't end up working at all, and when Chewbacca died, Penny didn't understand basic commands and was then
too old to be taught.

Here is a picture of a dog that looks like Chewbacca did.
