ABOUT ME

I am currently an English teaching assistant at a primary school in Ferrol, Spain. I'm an open-minded person who loves to travel and meet new people. I always feel like there is so much to learn from engaging new communites and the people that inhabit them. I'm also a big fan of sports.

PHILOSOPHY

I try to take a wholesome approach to life. I try my best to always honestly answer "yes" to the following question, "Am I happy today?"

Music, Movies, and Books

Some of my favorite music includes Michael Jackson, Tupac, and various hip hop artists (mostly because I really enjoy dancing). I don't have any particular favorite genre of movies or books. With books though, my favorite book hands down is The Catcher in the Rye.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Backpacking Yosemite National Park has been probably one of the most rewarding and amazing experiences of my life. I loved the nature, the removal from the stressors of day-to-day life, and above all the chance to try something different (it was my first backpacking trip). My favorite part of the backpacking trip was the final day, which was when we had our hardest part of the hike when we climbed to the top of Half Dome. It was absolutely the most beautiful view I have ever seen in my entire life: the glaciers, the trees, the valleys, the clear skies. It was breathtaking. And I have never seen anything like it. So, without a doubt, when I think of the most amazing thing I've done and seen, I think back to that view from atop Half Dome. There is really nothing else like it.

Teach, Learn, Share

"It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by the dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions and spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly; so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat." -Theodore Roosevelt
