I am here for Friends

About Me

"I know where I'm going and I know the truth. I'm not afraid to be what I want to be...I hated every minute of training, but I told myself, "Don't quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion"". (Muhammad Ali)

I was born in baltimore, but I'm good any where. Currently, I'm working on getting a perfect score on the MCAT's (well gotta aim high right?). I was planning for a career in psychology. I used to work at Kennedy-Krieger Institute doing behavioral therapy with significantly severe problem behavior 2-21 yr olds with mental retardation and/or autism among other diagnoses. Really, really amazing work, but could never do that as a career. So, I switched to plan b, going to med school instead. In the meantime, I serve at a restaurant and hang-out with my friends. I work out and run pretty much everyday, I like to be healthy. Anything where I can laugh, joke around and shoot the shit I'll have a good time. Also, I'm a laid back person; cool, calm and collected most of the time. That's pretty much it, I try to stay positive and optimistic.

My Interests

I love anything to do with understanding. On an everyday basis, I try to avoid ignorance and mediocrity. Figuring out the root of everything, asking questions and learning. I like being a critical thinker. AND I want a bike and a monkey and a friend for the monkey. haha! (thats from the simpson's btw, for those that aint cool enough to get it lol)
