To find happiness, fulfillment, and value in living I strive to lead a life centered around the principles of honesty, growth, caring, and excellence.  I recognize that I am sometimes fearful, disorganized, and insecure, and I strive to overcome these weaknesses.   My greatest strengths are my intelligence, energy, and open-mindedness.

   I see life as a gift.  In return for this gift, it is my job to appreciate it fully by enjoying it fully.  I also try to improve the gift of life given to others, because it is not a gift given equally to everyone.  I did nothing special to deserve the amazing beauty that my life contains, so I try to help spread that beauty to other people's lives in which the beauty is not as clear.
                                                                                                                                                                                              
                                                            

I was Blessed with a birth and a death and I guess I just want some say in between.
