Let's see...I am 23 years old and I was born in Peru, yes... that is in South America :) I enjoy spending time with my family and with my awesome friends. I am very lucky to have been blessed with so many wonderful people in my life :) I LOVE to dance, talk, read, people watch, and especially to travel. I have now covered North America and parts of South America, and this Summer I will be going to Europe!! I love to meet new people and learn new things. I am easy going, and am usually up for anything that sounds like fun! I have a wondeful opportunity to start a new chapter in my life and will be starting my M.A. and EdM in Psychological Counseling at Columbia University and after that I will be off to my PhD (life-long learner here!)I definitely work hard and therefore play hard.
A few of my favorite quotes,
Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense.
~Buddha
Do not be too moral. You might cheat yourself out of much life. Aim high above morality. Be not simply good; be good for something.
~Thoreau
I am convinced that the path to a new, better and possible world is not capitalism.
~Hugo Chavez
Love is so short and forgetting is so long
~Pablo Neruda
Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck.
~Dalai Lama
Be not ashamed of mistakes and thus make them crimes
~Confucius
Truth will rise above falsehood as oil above water.
~Miguel de Cervantes
Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment
~Buddha
A Woman of Strength (That's me!)
A strong woman works out every day
to keep her body in shape
but a woman of strength builds relationships
to keep her soul in shape.
A strong woman isn't afraid
of anything
but a woman of strength shows courage
in the midst of her fear
A strong woman won't let anyone
get the best of her
but a woman of strength gives the best
of her to everyone
A strong woman makes mistakes
and avoids the same in the future
but a woman of strength realizes life's mistakes
can also be blessings and capitalizes on them
A strong woman
walks sure footedly
but A woman of strength
knows God will catch her when she falls
A strong woman wears the look
of confidence on her face
but a woman of strength
wears grace
A strong woman has faith
that she is strong enough for the journey
but a woman of strength has faith
that it is in the journey that she will become strong
