CURRENT MISSION Peace. Love. Happiness. ABOUT ME I study Creative Writing at my American university, and I enjoy writing poetry, creative essays, and short fiction. One day I would like to take a road trip across the United States, beginning in California and ending at Jack Kerouac's grave in Lowell, MA. Post-college plans involve joining the Peace Corps and after that, moving to New York City and (hopefully) working for the United Nations. And penning a Pulitzer. ;) PHILOSOPHY I think the purpose of life is communication, to interact with everyone around you. Everyone has a story, with twists and surprise endings and unexpected obstacles and side-trips. If we take the time to listen to people and try to understand them, I think the world would be a better, more compassionate place.
