CURRENT MISSION

Be the change you want to see in the world. - Mahatma Gandhi

ABOUT ME

I am a student at the moment, but my passion is for learning about the world in other ways. I am studying for the year abroad in Lebanon and now Israel. I love understanding the world through others eyes, despite having my own strong views about life. Life is about the people you live it with and there is nothing I love more than spending time with my friends and family.

PHILOSOPHY

Our purpose on this earth is to love and be loved. Despite living in a screwed up world with so much violence and hatred, we must open our eyes and recognize the tremendous good around us as well.
