CURRENT MISSION

I plan on being more spontaneous

ABOUT ME

My favorite pastimes are sleeping and laughing. I like to figure out why things are the way they are. I am studying Geography and I hope to someday work with a company that benefits our Earth. I grew up in west Texas, lived in Germany for 1 year,Illinois for 4 and this summer I'm hanging out in Alaska again.

PHILOSOPHY

Relativity. Different things are measured on different scales in different places. This does not make things wrong or right, it simply makes them different.

"My choice is what I choose to do, and if I'm causin' no harm, it shouldn't bother you. Your choice is who you choose to be, and if you're causin' not harm then you're alright with me" - Ben Harper

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was flying from Houston to St. Louis a few miles ahead of a line of thunderstorms. Lightning from cloud to cloud. It was beautiful. The town of Hope holds a very special place in my heart, as well.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am not an unintelligent person, but this question has me somewhat baffled. I have lots to offer as far as good times and laughter goes, but otherwise, I think the situation must present itself in order for me to become the teacher. I am currently enjoying the student side of life.
