CURRENT MISSION

Honestly, I want to swallow and digest every country.

ABOUT ME

I am from Chicago, Illinois. United States.

I am currently studying at Kenyon College located in Gambier, Ohio. It's rural location is perfect for learning and developing ideas.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe that everyone serves a purpose. I have not yet found mine, but it's coming. I love to learn: any and everything. I want to be a master of life. I love helping others, and attribute all that i have seen and experienced to God. I live to be as Christ like as possible although sometimes I stumble. I have been blessed tremendously, and I want to make sure that others are as well.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Realizing that I haven't seen as many things as I'd like to have seen, I must say that my experience in England has been amazing. The people, sites, and culture differs tremendously from what I am used to experiencing. In two months, I feel comfortable saying that I have learned more than I expected upon arriving here.
