About Me

My name is Donna-Rei, but I go by Donna. Many here in UF especially the FRESH FAM call me by multiple names (Sexy, Donnaface, Donna-tella, Thunderbottom, but the most known is BaDONNAdunk)...and I don't even have to explain that.
So, who am I? Well, I'm a NICE,"smart", friendly person who is filled w/ ambitions and dreams. Going to medical school *hopefully, ross university* and becoming a pediatric oncologist or cardiologist are 2 of my lifelong dreams. Most people know that i am dedicated and determined in anything i put my mind to. Possibly, in the future, I'm considering on traveling the world and joining the Peace Corps or do some health ministry or work for Doctors Without Borders.
Other than that, I'm extremely goofy and a complete dork/nerd, but yes, I am a NERD trapped inside a BEAUTIFUL body.. *U don't believe me? ha! just ask my friends.* I truly believe that being goofy and laughter are truly great medicines in life, which is why I am goofy and laugh 50% of the time..it balances out my STRESSful, anxious self...*my other half..he.he*



I am a lovable person to be around with and truly love God, my family, and my friends. I would consider myself faithfully devoted to God *The Lord is truly is my Savior* and I wish to continually grow in him. He has always been there for me throughout my life and I am commited to live my life by his Word. He is the reason why I wake up in the morning and he is the reason why I am ALIVE. My family is irreplacable. I couldn't ask God for a better family even if we have our flaws. ABCDEF, you are my world. Last but not least, I have the bestest friends anyone could ask for. I am at a point in my life where I couldn't ask God for more. God is talagang amazing. I am in awe of the wonderful blueprint he has for our lives and knowing the perfect time to bless us with great people. My friends, my second FAMILY *you know who u are*, you guys are amazing. I thank the Lord everyday for all the wonderful memories we share together. You guys will forever be my mares & pares. B/c of God, my family, and friends, I am a better person. :)
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
*For those who can't figure who i am from here, well, i suggest u go UF and talk to me. I promise, i'm not intimidating..sheesh. ^_^

*The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return.* -Moulin Rouge

*Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who are we to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are we not to be?...You playing small doesn't serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so other people won't feel insecure around you...as we let our light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our fear, our presences automatically liberates others.* - Nelson Mandela
