The Result of Education is Tolerance. Are you Educated?

About Me

God, family, and friends are my oxygen. Despite what some may call a tough exterior, I'm planted quite close to the water so life tends to move me to tears. I love experiencing new cultures which explains my constant desire to travel and explore new places. I'm an activist at heart, though my deep and extensive relationship with fashion can deceive the naked eye. I tend to shy away from common or obvious trends and opt for a more abstract approach....except of course when it comes to speaking my mind...I take a more "direct" approach. My greatest testimony is my life and I pray it is one that leaves a positive mark on this world.

My Interests

Fashion (I'll shop for just about anything and anyone), Science/Medicine (I plan to cure the world....one disease at a time), Languages/Cultures, Sports/Exercise, Art..........

I'd like to meet:

God. I would rather walk with God in the dark than go alone in the light.

Reading isn't my thing. First my neck hurts and then I get a headache....I just don't understand it. With that said, I do love Jane Austen books and anything that is interesting enough to make me forget about how violently my body reacts when I read....lol
