About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To learn a new story every day

ABOUT ME
I am a recent graduate from Texas Tech university with degrees in International business & Marketing. I am easy to get along with, love to meet new people and learn just about anything.

PHILOSOPHY

Patriotism is your conviction that this country is superior to all other countries because you were born in it.

We are none of us alone.
Even as we exhale, it is inhaled by others.
The light that shines upon me, shines upon my neighbor as well.
In this way, everything is connected to everything else.
In this way, I am connected to my friend even as I am connected to my enemy.
In this way,there is no difference between me, and my friend.
In this way, there is no difference between me, and my enemy.
We are none of us alone.
