I am here for Friends

About Me

hm...what to write about myself... i'm a crazy little blue-eyed red-head. i’m proud to be from houston, texas, for all the good reasons people from other states refuse to see in light of certain others…and yes, i love the lone star. i’m in my second year at hendrix, in arkansas, and am loving it more and more everyday. i never believed i could call this place home, but i am finding that it truly has become a second home to me. hendrix is a great school- basically the rice of arkansas. i didn’t originally want to come here. my original and ultimate decision to come here comes from feeling God pushing me to go here, whereas i almost stayed home to go to my other #1 school, st. thomas. but it’s so amazing here. i couldn’t imagine another place having such a mixture of near perfection for what i need. great education and educators, great student life, friendly people, beautiful campus, no greek life, small, good food…and more! i don’t know why anyone wouldn’t want to go here. anyways…i’m the kind of person who will drop everything for you if i know or feel like ur in an emergency or need a hand to hold or just someone to listen. i’ve gone numerous times with stuff unfinished because i’ve gotten a chance to be there for someone else, and i wouldn’t have it any differently (esp since every time that’s ever happened, it’s worked out in the end…and i tell you what, that’s just some of God’s glory right there). i've always seen myself as being put on this earth to help others...i've known this for a long time, at least since elementary school. in college i plan to study Christianity, psychology, business, spanish, education, and poli sci. i’m able to do this by being an interdisplinary major, meaning i’m designing it myself. i have a lot of ideas for what to do with this, but they are all ministry related. i see myself eventually going into full-time mission work, possibly setting up some sort of program for mentally-challenged adults in whatever country latin american country i’m in, but who knows what God has in store? ...the possibilities are i believe endless. i love my friends from home dearly, and whatever ones i have made that live elsewhere. right now, i am at a stage in my life where i really feel ready to become an adult, and i feel like this is the year that is possibly going to be the most pivotal in my life so far. i’m not sure how, but i just…feel it. i’m…calmly excited about it. i’m taking it day by day, and watching to see what God has in store for me and where He’s leading me.
