I realize there is little about me on this page...so I'm going to make a summary of my life in the last however many years...Im copying your tag to my page Michelle...enjoy
10 years ago:
I was 13 years old, and was finishing up my last year in elementary school. My mother decided that there were no decent schools in NYC, so I was preparing to get shipped of to Wisconsin via greyhound. I remember being very disturbed and uneasy about it. I threatned to runaway...but as soon as I left the busy and boistrous city that I knew, and I arrived to a lovely, country setting out in the woods, I knew I had been born to be a country girl!...well or so I thought. Country Life Academy was my home for the next 3 years and I learned how to appreciate nature, veganism, outdoor adventures (horseback riding, canoeing, camping, hiking, farming, ect)...I also learned how to build homes...I was called the "electro-light" since I installed alot of the electric cables in the homes we were building..they were good memories, and I can say the last years of adolescence were full of happy times. When I remember the people that I shared those years with I feel a special warmth in my heart for them...they are soo special to me. Then for my last year I went to Ouachita Hills Academy. I knew it was providence that led me there, and God knew why I needed to be there, and I'm so glad that I was able to have that experience...I learned so much, I grew so much. I wouldn't trade our senior trip to Russia and Europe for anything in the world. I also will always remember my sweet dean Mrs. Osterman, who is still a role model for me, and who I love very dearly.
5 years ago:
18 years old and my first semester at Hartland College. After spending all my years at SDA self-supporting academies...The transition to Hartland wasn't so bad, in fact it was pretty smooth. I decided to go to Hartland becuase I felt that God hadn't finished my grounding work quiet yet, and I didn't feel too ready to go into the real world...I still had alot to learn and experience within the protective enviorment of these schools of a higher order. I enjoyed my freshman year, perhaps more than any others to follow. I was still young and fresh, it was a crisp and new experience. I learned so much from my classes....and I made so many wonderful friends. I had the perfect roomates..(Michelle, our commercials need to get out there!) we had so much fun. I started going to different churches and doing concerts to help our friends fund for their mission trips, I enjoyed that so much. It seems like so long ago....
A year ago:
After spending a few months teaching English in Korea....I came back to New York after living away for 8 years....and decided to spend the next couple of years with my mother at home...and pursue a second career in Nursing. I began school in March and work and that's was pretty much my life for that year...but I got in to a highly competitive program, so that was a blessing. I decided about that time that I could either pursue my masters in education or do something in the healthcare field, which I had always wanted to do. So, I chose the latter and decided somewhere down the road I will be able to use both. I will always enjoy teaching, I teach people everyday....in a non-conventional way teaching is my passion....more specifically, helping people is what I truly love to do. So, In my attempt to be a humanitarian, perhaps one day a goodwill Ambassador in a foreign country.....I realize that I don't want to just go through life existing....I do want to make a difference, however small it may be. "Lord, help me be that person I want to be".
Yesterday:
I decided last minute that I deserve to get away after grueling short intensive session at school...so yesterday I was enjoying a relaxing time in FL with a friend....today I'm still in FL and not done relaxing.
5 Snacks I Enjoy:

Songs I Know All the Lyrics To:
For some reason I can't remember lyrics perfectly to any song...that's sad since I sing often...that's why I never like to do solo's if I ever forgot the lyrics I wouldn't even be able to fake it I would just...panic.
5 Things I would do with $100 million (after tithe )
