About Me

well... i like doing just about anything active. i pretty much play any spotr you can name: soccer, basketball, football, soccer, volleyball, wiffleball, yea im about a 7 sport athlete. unfortunately my knee is torn up so i got a lot of time to broaden my horizons. i love to read, i am pretty much always in the midst of a book,and i plan one day to write something worthwhile that will touch people's lives. My joy and my guidance comes from Jesus. it is the best feeling to feel so wonderfully despite whatever circumstances you encounter. and God has brought has me to that place which is the greatest thing i have ever experienced. i love to travel, and love the spanish language. so i am in the midst of rehabbing my knee and then God-willing going to stay in mexico with missionaries my church supports. i will most likely be going to school in the fall majoring in linguistics and am looking to be a translator or interpreter, or get a degree in teaching english as a second language. i love thinking about the future, and imagining all of the awesome things God is going to do. what do i want to accomplish? i want to be used to change lives.
