I want to serve God for the rest of my life.
About me... so many things I could say... I am.. me: Passionate, eccentric, "living deliberately," and "sucking the marrow out of life." I try to live each day like it's my last. I am... determined. When I do something, I give 100% or I don't do it at all. I have a strong faith in God and Jesus as my Lord and savior. I am a strong advocate of rights for seekers of political asylum and better environmental regulations.
Additionally, I plan to attend Mount Vernon and major in special education while minoring in intercultural studies. Then, I want to be a missionary to Kenya.
