About Me

I grew up in the New York City and went to School in Westminster Maryland, now I am working as an Au Pair in the Netherlands, Amersfoort to be exact. In May of 2007 I graduated from college with a major in Philosophy and Minors in International Relations and ASL and Deaf Studies. When I am not looking after a 5 year old and a 9 year old I am practicing waterpolo, which is new to me after 14 years of competitive swimming, and taking classes at the University of Utrecht. I am taking classes in the Conflict Studies department. I want to do a masters in Human rights and Conflict Studies at UU in a few years. Working as an Au Pair is a good experience, but I never thought I would work for people with money. Its hard living other people’s lifestyles, next year I will start working in the field of my interests, such as an NGO. Taking care of two girls is not making the world a better place, I need a more activist job. I feel that as a concerned person i must work to make the world a better place in a very proactive manner, i will see where my beliefs lead. Don't get me wrong, I can be a lot of fun... I also love intellectual conversations especially on politics and philosophy ... I'd love to talk anytime go for a walk somewhere, go swimming anywhere and show me a good time ... it may take me some time to loosen up but i am capable of doing so.

You scored as agnosticism. You are an agnostic. Though it is generally taken that agnostics neither believe nor disbelieve in God, it is possible to be a theist or atheist in addition to an agnostic. Agnostics don't believe it is possible to prove the existence of God (nor lack thereof).Agnosticism is a philosophy that God's existence cannot be proven. Some say it is possible to be agnostic and follow a religion; however, one cannot be a devout believer if he or she does not truly believe.

Which religion is the right one for you? (new version)
created with QuizFarm.com Take the quiz:
What type of swimmer are you?

Breaststroker
You are a BREASTSTROKER! Congratulations you frog. You have one of the sexiest strokes and eventhough you go last in your lane during practice, you can beat up the other swimmers with your arm and leg strenght. You are very smart, and you pay attention when the coach talks. Although you are capable of swimming other strokes, you enjoy this one the most because you have a good sense of rhythm & speed which when put together results in one kick ass swimmer.
