I am here for Friends

About Me

But you who walk facing the sun, what images drawn on the earth can hold you?
You who travel with the wind, what weathervane shall direct your course?
What man's law shall bind you if you break your yoke but upon no man's prison door?
What laws shall you fear if you dance but stumble against no man's iron chains?
And who is he that shall bring you to judgment if you tear off your garment yet leave it in no man's path?
People of Orphalese, you can muffle the drum, and you can loosen the strings of the lyre, but who shall command the skylark not to sing?

I like to keep this thing updated, but I’m not very good at it. One thing that will never change is this—I am a child of God. I rely on his love and supplication to get me through each day and I’m trying my hardest to let that be enough for me.
As for the here and now, I’m a student at the University of South Carolina (GO GAMECOCKS!) and I’m working towards a major in International Business, with a double minor in French and Spanish. At this point, I’m hoping to work in Immigration reform. I definitely believe there needs to be change as soon as possible. I love foreign languages and I’ve also studied German and Italian. On campus, I stay involved in the Baptist Collegiate Ministry and I also help out with International Bible study, hanging out and building relationships with many of the international students. I’ve met so many amazing people through the international program at USC and it has touched my life in so many ways! I’m an ’07 grad of Fort Dorchester High School. In high school I played the tenor and alto sax and jazz has remained a big part of my life. I also enjoy obsessing over Josh Groban, Michael Bublé, Il Divo, Jason Mraz, The Working Title, etc… One of my passions is writing. One day maybe you’ll see me on the bestsellers list! (Until then, check out my blog.)
Other than that, I like shopping downtown (Chucktown, baby!) but the whole poor college kid thing kind of limits that. I freaking love the beach. I love foreign languages, foreign cultures, foreign food, and foreign boys. In the grocery store I eavesdrop on Hispanic people, just so I can hear them speak spanish. That about sums it up right there.
“When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come true: "Death has been swallowed up in victory." "Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?"The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.” -1 Corinthians 15:54-57

Thoughts from Peru

When I first decided to go to Peru, I did it because I really wanted to, not realizing that I had no other choice. I had to go. I wanted to serve the Lord in whatever way I could, but the truth is tha...

a change of residence

I feel old. Peter Thompson is dead and I can't stop thinking about him. I knew Peter. That was two lifetimes ago, swimming upstream back beyond college and even beyond high school and wading deep i...

You keep your mouth shut!

I like reading Psalms out of The Message. Some Bible thumpers are pretty against The Message, because it's more of an interpretation than a translation of the Bible. This is evident when you read...

You should see some of the scenes that Ive seen.

This is the quietest Friday night I have witnessed in all of my time here at USC. All the sorority chicks, who account for 90% of the female population on my floor, are at the dance marathon for the n...

An Account of my Political Exploits

I freaking love finals.

As I look back over the years that have carried me here, I realize that I was made to believe (by teachers, parents, and The (all-encompassing) Man) that college was the ultimate test of strength, the...

Gracias, Merci, and Grazie

Thanksgiving leaves me feeling both exhausted and refreshed. A contradictory statement, I'm aware. Imagine, if you will, 21 children between the ages of 1 and 70 bustling about hurriedly in one kitche...
