"I oppose to violence because when it appears to good, the good is only temporary, whereas the evil it does is permanent."
I am driven by a wonderful family, as well as an abundance of God's love and guidance. My passion of herpetology, computer science, and business have me weighing between majors as I approach the moment to continue education or maintain happiness at a certain point of success and gratitude.
The innocence of a child is the prime reason my goals are to leave my finger print on society; a child born tomorrow, suffers from yesterday. It has taken trillions of people to cause an effect, so it will take trillions of people to fix it. People must reach beyond religious strife and indifference; come together, like an awkwardly over-sized, yet functional family - per se ;-).
My plans are to build a decent network, become friends with professors :-), and help others along the way. Afterward, I will attain my doctorates - given funds prevail. I've even entertained the idea of Biologist...but...let's say I am currently weighing the maximization of my happiness vs. success in economic aspects, so we shall see where that takes me. I am uncertain as to where I will go, but I know exactly how I will get there. I see any career as a commitment...so is family, settling down, and everything in the long-run, rather than short run. Any commitment is full of challenge and randomly difficult; I'm suggesting that great things are not easy to achieve, but are certainly more rewarding.
I have prayed multiple times asking God, "What is it I should do with my life?" I feel that He says, "Something for Me." My friends (in terms of genralities) think God wants me to preach, however, I feel that God means to honor His name in any advancement I chose in life. God truly is amazing and I am intrigued how my relationship with God has strengthened since the onset of my educational journey.
My interest are: God, family, education, culture, societal health, amphibians, insects (I know, you're thinking that's an oddity), reptiles (I am currently observing the physiology and behavioral aspects of Clamydosaurus kingii, Rhacodactylus ciliatus, Blaptica dubya, and seeking a project with Dendrobates), ecology (currently I am studying the effects of pollutants in cubed biomes, which is a miniature environment per se), anything outdoor's (exculde hunting, I cannot bring myself to kill an animal), and moreso, I enjoy to travel and explore, or frolick around outside ;-)
Additionally, I have a passion for writing...so if anyone ever needs a paper professionally revised, email me at angler143@gmail.com...no charge, anytime friendly service!
