ABOUT ME

Well hello hello. My name is Stephen and I am 18 year old American currently living in Germany. Me and my friends in my group are staying in Germany for a year and leaving in june 2009. Currently I'm being kept busy with my internship at a language school, playing soccer with the local club here, learning german and what i can about this cool country, travelling when i can, living with my host family and well the list could go on. I love soccer and have played my whole life, i love sitting down and getting lost in a book, love playing the piano or harp or anything with music,love being outside fishing or anything of the sorts and well that list could go on as well...

PHILOSOPHY

I am a Christian but I like to think I am open to other ideas and and accepting that other people believe other things and that it is not my responsibility to tell other people how to live. I feel that trying to live life without worrying oneself about small things and stressing about everything makes life easier and more fun. bob marley sums up how I think when things look like they are start to get rough, "dont't worry about a thing, because every little thing's gonna be alright."
