CURRENT MISSION

I'm back in America again trying to figure out what is out there for me:school? Heading across the ocean once more? I'm taking the year to meet new people and figure life out!

ABOUT ME

I've recently opened my eyes to the possibilities the world can offer... growing up in small town, USA suffocated my desire to explore and learn, and here I am, back in Madison after spending an amazing year in Bordeaux, and surrounded by children on a daily basis. I didn't see myself here a year ago--! I'm happy, easygoing, and a writer at heart-- I want to make the most of my time here while I sloooooowly figure out what the world has in store for me.

I'm back in school for my elementary ed teaching certification... so excited to be a student once again.

PHILOSOPHY

Indolence is a delightful but distressing state; we must be doing something to be happy.

Mahatma Gandhi

We're crawling up a cavity of the plateau, better things and higher levels of world-wonder ahead.

Kerouac

"Develop interest in life as you see it; in people, things, literature, music - the world is so rich, simply throbbing with rich treasures, beautiful souls and interesting people. Forget yourself." - Henry Miller

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm still learning what I'm capable of in this great big world. Genuine kindness shouldn't be a surprise-- we should all live by the virtue of sharing and giving back on a consistent basis, and I'm learning more about myself (and meeting new people!) with this whole mindset.
