JONATHAN O’HAIR
Junior at the University of Kentucky
A Little About Me I grew up in Norman
Oklahoma, home of the Sooners. My dad has worked there for as long as I can remember so I get strong feelings of nostalgia every time I go back and walk on the red dirt and visit the university.
In 2009 I made the decision to move to Lexington Kentucky for school and a new experience. My sister soon followed as well as my mom and dad. My immediate family all relocated, but managed to stay together.
Hobbies and Interests
My favorite past times are nature related like rock climbing, bouldering, hiking, fishing, parkour, and camping. I love plants and animals and usually get my best inspirations when I am outside in nature. Another interest of
mine is music. I play the guitar but also dabble in the keyboard, drums, harmonica, and cornet. Although impractical as a career, music will always be a strong part of my life.
EducationEducation
I will be graduating from the University of Kentucky in the Spring of 2013, with a Major in Physical Geography.

Strength’sStrength’sAdaptability- I prefer to go with the flow and tend to be a status quo oriented person.
Empathy- I easily find myself in peoples shoes, which allows me to give them the benefit of the doubt more often than not.
Input- I am eclectic in my desires and interests and deeply crave knowledge about things that I care about.
Positivism- I believe that most situations, if treated with a positive attitude, can be molded to fit my goals.
Individualization- I think everyone is different in there personalities and traits and I enjoy understanding others strengths and weaknesses.
Career InterestsOccupational InterestsThere are several career interests that I believe would utilize the strength’s that I have accumulated through my experience.
The United States Geological Survey employs thousands of people and is growing substantially in certain areas of the country, most particularly in Huston, Texas and the San Francisco bay area of California. I hope to isolate my applications to those cities.
Another position I hope to one day occupy is that of an urban planner. My strength’s of adaptability and empathy would be utilized for the planning of the future through zoning ordinances, comprehensive plans, and other planning doctrines.
Occupational GoalsBefore my career can unfold there are a couple things that I will be striving for along the way
I intend on going to Graduate School at the University of Kentucky and there are a few things that are going to help me to be accepted.
