About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Always stay positive and enjoy the little things.

ABOUT ME

I'm laid-back, friendly, honest, and open-minded. I care about the environment and think that education and healthy living are important. The biggest reason why I became a teacher is so I can travel during my time off.

My dislikes: mayonnaise, pickles, pollution, mosquitoes, and annoying kids.

PHILOSOPHY

Be excellent to each other, and party on dudes!

I'm not a big reader, but I'd like to get around to that. I've read most of Chuck Palahniuk's books and they're awesome.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
