Hello, my name is Jeremiah Horrigan
and I am a freshman studying history at Saint Bonaventure. So far, I really
like it here and have met some really good people. I was born in the southern
part of Buffalo, which is a very Irish neighborhood and I like to take pride in
that. I attended Bishop Timon in that neighborhood and a lot of my good friends
from Bonas did as well. I am big on sports and politics and my favorite teams
include the Bills, the Sabres, The Red Sox, and Notre Dame football. I chose history
as my major for college for a variety of reasons. The major reason I did is
because I’ve always had an interest in it and I’ve found it to be the most
compelling to me. Another reason is that it’s my best subject and I’ve never
had a problem with it. The final reason that I chose it is because it is one of
the most highly recommended majors for law school. There are a lot of things I
like to focus on in history but two of them go above and beyond the others. The
first one is the Industrial Revolution. I find this subject to be very
compelling and I really enjoy reading about Andrew Carnegie. Also, the
Industrial Revolution is when Buffalo really took off as a city that plays a
role as well. Another subject I enjoy is Irish History. I took a class in high
school that focused on Irish History topics like the Easter uprising and Brian
Boru and it was a great class. I have many goals and hopes here at Bonas and I
look forward to trying to accomplish as many as possible. First of all, I’d
like to maintain a high GPA, as well as meet new people and make new friends.
Also, I’d like to learn as much as possible and become very knowledgeable in as
many subjects of history that I can.
