CURRENT MISSION

I love the life I live, and I live the life I love

ABOUT ME

I am a civil engineering major with a double minor in French and Mathematics. I must say I'm quite a nerd when it comes to the math;I love it so! I study Engineering because I want to travel to thrid world countries and build sustainable water filtration and irrigation systems. I also have an artistic side:I love painting, dancing, jamming, writting poetry, and cooking. I've been practicing yoga 12 years and consider the yogi beliefs under my reglious views but I digress...I'm a very easy going person I love learning cultures, languages, and moreover people form different walks of life.

PHILOSOPHY

Death is my motivator for life; this may sound a bit dark but I use it to live to the fullest. I was raised in many dogmas: Catholicism, Judaism, Bhuddhism (with yogic influences), Baha'i, Christianity, and Quaker. Between all of these different religions I have formed this to be true: there is a piece of God in everything; the grass, the trees, the birds, the bees. the difference in everything is its own awareness of that inner piece of God and I feel blessed to be able to explore my relationship with God. I don't judge people on their religous beliefs, in fact I love to engage them in conversation, I believe in my heart of hearts that as long as you are being good to your fellow man and nature you're on the right path (whatever you choose to call your shoes, your perogative :D )

Interests

I love languages, Science, painting, and Mathematics. I play Capoeira. I like fashion, mostly making cloths from thift stores. I like going to shows. I love traveling so much and furthermore the beauty of the world in every tiny facet.
