For the experience

Not for a life-long relationship – just an opportunity to get out and meet people. Learn – have a little fun yet still maintain my independence.

The written outlet

I find myself writing several times a week now. It most definitely isn’t everyday – but I am getting there!
Joy, pain and several foreign countries later
21 months ago
I have a goal in mind. It is a pretty big endeavor.
After spending a few months in India, and returning again this year I have realized what one of my natural talents are. I give. I love to give. I love to inspire. I have found a way to do that in a healthy way the is for the benefit of those I love.
I long to give all that I have to everyone who will appreciate it.
I am also a firm believer in education – especially in developing nations. I believe that when you empower a child with an education, you not only change life for that child, but you change life for generations to come.
I would love to start an NPO at some point in the near future. As far as my education and ten-year future? I want to get an internship with the UN… which means I am going to need to be able to speak, read and write fluently in French. So, that is on the agenda for this year.
I need to finish my four year, which after meeting with an advisor about getting into grad school at the Evans School of Public Affairs at UW, appears will be completed with a non-traditional education at Evergreen State College. I need to get accepted into a graduate school… and then I can apply for the internship.
