I want to leave a life of meaning and purpose. When I am gray and old I want to know that I have lived my life to the fullest.

I have a livley personality. I am polite, clean, and I can get along with anyone.

I enjoy learning about others perspectives and beliefs. I am respectful and open-minded to different views.

I am a nature enthusiast. I enjoy long walks on the beach, as well as a nice hike.
