CURRENT MISSION

To learn who I am, what I want to do and how I can make a difference in the world.

ABOUT ME

Hey I am Esther, a little crazy girl from ''the south'' (but I ain't no southern bell).. have actually crossed the Mason Dixon Line ;)

I like to meet new people, visiting new places and learning from different cultures.

I love eating different foods..trying new sports (racquectball, squash ect) and being spontaneous ;>

For the last year I have been living in Germany from Aug 2007 till July 2008 with the CBYX / CDS internship program. Life in Germany is..definitly different then life in 'the south', to say the lest :)

I am majoring in Social Work and minoring in Business
and I plan to open a home for abused and neglected girls after I have finished college.

I am currently preparing to return to the USA and finish college at Union University in Jackson, Tn.

PHILOSOPHY

The world is not respectable; it is mortal, tormented, confused, deluded forever; but it is shot through with beauty, with love, with glints of courage and laughter; and in these, the spirit blooms timidly and struggles to the light amid the thorns.
-George Santayana

I want to be one of those glints of courage and love to ppl I am around.
