About Me

CURRENT MISSION

My mission in life is to discover the most I can about life, others and myself. My passion is getting to know people and having a conversation with a new friend. As they say, "There are no strangers in life, only friends you haven't met yet."

ABOUT ME

I am a person that is spontaneous and really just enjoys life. I pride myself in helping people and doing what I can to help my community and me fellow man. I have been known to go to the airport and take the next flight wherever it goes and spend a couple days on my new adventure. I enjoy everything from traveling to just hanging out and having a nice cold drink with a new friend. I also really enjoy school and if I could I would stay there forever..lol. I also am very close with my family and am very lucky to have a family that is very supportive of me and what I do. Sometimes my ideas may be farfetched but all my family says is to be safe and go for it and make sure I give 100% at whatever it is I do in life.

PHILOSOPHY

I truly believe that my purpose in life is to help those who need help. I feel it is my responsibilty to be the advocate for those who cant speak or are too afraid too.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love all of Chelsea Handler's books. My favorite is "Are You There Vodka Its Me Chelsea." Another favorite all time book is " The Perks of Being a Wallflower." As far as music I enjoy all sorts of music and discovering new styles. For movies I am that cheesy Romantic Comedy person. I am that person at the movies who is crying and talking to the screen.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most amazing thing that I have expereinced was during a trip through Central America. I had gone to a sea turtle conservatory during the day to visit. While there the staff had mentioned that they were looking for volunteers to come out that night around 3 in the morning to help the newborn turtle hatchlings into the ocean. I remember all those baby turtles under the moonlight trying to make their way to the ocean and the adventure they will go through to just make it in the world. It kind of reminded me of us as humans sometimes just how hard we have to work to survive in our world.

Teach, Learn, Share

As mentioned previously I ould like to learn more about the world, others and myself. I would like to teach others how to maintain an open mind and accept others for who they are.
