CURRENT MISSION

Live life to the fullest

ABOUT ME

I am currently living in South Carolina. I am studying to be a Spanish teacher in the United States or to teach English abroad. I love traveling and it is a big part of my life. I love music, any and every kind, but especially the blues. I play drums and percussion instruments.I am a very lively person, I love to laugh, and I love to make jokes.

PHILOSOPHY

DEFINITION OF SUCCESS

To laugh often and much;
To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children;
To endure the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends;
To appreciate beauty;
To find the best in others;
To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition;
To know even one life has breathed easier because you lived.
This is to have succeeded.

- Ralph Waldo Emerson

"I am only so beautiful as the character of my relationships, only so rich as I enrich those around me, only so alive as I enliven those I greet."
-Derrick Jensen
