I may detest what you say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it

About Me



I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V3.6 !

My dream is to one day wake up and see that George W. has been impeached. I love music, drawing/painting, strong coffee a good book, and learning new things; traveling, soccer, hiking, camping, and going on bike rides on my beautiful beach cruiser. I am very passionate about what I believe in and fiercely loyal to my friends, my family, and myself. Humility and selflessness is what I value most, being able to step outside of your world to experience the world of others. I am pursuing law school to become an international human rights defense attorney and hope to start a pro-bono law center that educates americans about their civil liberties. I belive that trust and respect aren't somthing that you should earn, they should be given freely- and what you do with it shows every facet of your character.

My Interests
