About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Learn cultures and hear stories from people across the world

ABOUT ME

For entertainment, I enjoy movies, music, most sports, especially tennis and golf, video games, and trying to fix things, although I'm not very good.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe that every day is a miracle. To be human, to see, touch, smell, taste, hear are miracles in itself. We cannot succumb to materialistic culture and we must pursue our own personal journey without influence. Remember that you know what life is about as much as any human that ever lived, though they may tell you otherwise. I believe in the human mind; it is capable of amazing and incomprehensible things, live to see its potential.
