Logan's Introduction

 Hello fellow classmates, My name is Logan Biggs and I was born in Dallas, Texas on February 3rd, 1998. I have lived in Frisco, Texas since I was in 8th grade, but has always lived in the great state of Texas. I grew up playing soccer since I was 10 and I actually attended Midwestern State University my freshman year on a soccer scholarship. I got hurt, but, short story, ended up here at The University of Oklahoma and my time here has been great. This is my 3rd year here and I am majoring in Finance. Money and math has always been a passion of mine since I can remember. Something cool about my major is that, sometimes, depending what you do, you get to be a strategist for other companies and take care of the financial decisions they choose to make. The best class I took last semester was Business Finance. In my opinion, this was my favorite class because this is what I am majoring in and I really enjoy doing financial problems. My favorite type of movies are comedy and action movies. M

The boys run back to the King and the men inside and yell that there is something in the water, they referred it to as a demon and that the demon was out to get them. The King forced men to go out to the lake to catch this, out of ordinary, species. When the men brought the Turtle back, the King wanted these men to kill it because only fish were supposed to be in the water. As they went around the room and talked about killing the animal, the Turtle pokes it's head out and says, "what have I done to you humans for you guys to want to do something to hurt me and hurt my life? The lake is my safe spot and I would never do anything to hurt you guys,
