My Introduction

        My name is James Daley Donigan Jr., but I go by my middle name Daley because my dad goes by James. Currently, I'm a freshman and a finance major. I still don't know exactly what I want to do in life career wise, but ideally I think it would involve business and sports because those are two passions of mine.  I was born and raised in Tampa, Florida and my main hobbies include golf, soccer, and fishing. I have one older sister named Mackenzie who actually graduated last year from UF, and I have a twin sister named Lainey who is currently at UF with me as well.  My family is a big part of who I am because I’m not only very close with my parents and sisters, but I’m also very super close with all of my aunts, uncles, and cousins who all live in Florida as well. Florida football for me, like a lot of people, is more than just a sport; it’s a way of life.  Because my family has season tickets for football, my dad and I have always cherished those Saturday afternoons in the fall cheering on the Gators. I chose UF because it’s been my dream school ever since I was born. This passion is due to the fact that the University of Florida has deep roots in my family considering my grandpa has lived here since the 50's as well as my dad, two aunts, two uncles, two sisters, and a cousin all attending UF. Although I have not traveled much, last summer I went to Italy with my family for two weeks visiting cities such as Amalfi, Rome, Venice, Tuscany, and Florence. It was an incredible trip as we immersed ourself in the culture as much as possible. Here is a picture of my family in Venice.
