About Me

I received the Rotary Ambassadorial Scholarship and am studying Arabic and volunteering in Jordan. I love cultures and adventure. I'm down to Earth (most of the time). Life is good and should be enjoyed for what it is with as little worrying as possible.I want to make a difference in the world. I hope to find a good entry-level career job in International Relations, particularly something between the US and Middle East. If you want to know more about my trip check out my blog at: http://gregsheppard.blogspot.com.I love most kinds of music, depending on my mood. I played trumpet in a local ska band, Flip the Switch. I somewhat play guitar. I love scuba diving. I love meeting new people and hearing their stories and thoughts. I get such a great feeling when I put myself to the test, try something new or when I follow through with something that I'm nervous about. If anyone wants to go on an adventure, test ourselves or anything that sounds up my alley, let me know!
