Velocity is a physical quantity of an object's motion. Velocity is speed that has a clearly stated direction. e.g. 5 miles per hour is not a vector, where as +5 miles per hour or north at 5 miles per hour are vectors. If the motion is in a straight line in only one direction, it is the same as speed. The average velocity (v) of an object moving a displacement(s) in a straight line during a time interval (t).
Activities: Exploration of gravity. Velocity influenced, skydiving, racing cars and Ninpo Ninjitsu (Kunoichi)Bujinkan Yamaneko Dojo-Shihan Jeffrey Prather

"Advance confidently in the direction of your dreams and endeavor to live the life you have imagined. The future is not just some place you are going to, but is a place you are creating, and the paths to it are not found, they are made. Follow your passion as long as you live, and on this you will reach success."

Passion to learn: There are two types of people in life: Passengers and Drivers. Passenger like to be driven and not think on their own, making other's opinion their own truth. Driver's take the wheel and make their own decisions, taking hold of their destinies. They say good things come to those who wait but, greater things come to those who seize the opportunity and make it their own. Science (my most beloved subject), economics and art.

I love the art of invention. My bio-father was an engineer,architect,scientist and inventor. I only read non-fiction as I have find fact is stranger than fiction.
"Watch your thoughts, for they become words. Choose your words, for they become actions. Understand your actions, for they become habits. Study your habits, for they will become your character. Develop your character, for it becomes your destiny."

I love people! Connecting with people is key to my mental health. The earth is the 3rd smallest planet there is no excuse to not see all.
I cannot live without traveling and experiencing cultures as these fuels my passions and introduces me to all the wonders of the world. My life goal is to be well rounded, diverse and learn as much as possible before I my parting of this world.

My passions: I have been volunteering all my life starting from the time I was president of my youth council for my city. It defines my meaning in life and an outlet to nourish others since life have been so generous to me. Nothing makes me happier than knowing someone else is living a better life because I was given the opportunity to engage in their life in a positive way.
I love children! Nothing is more beautiful to me than a smile given by a child and an unforgettable echoing laughter that fills your life with hope. They are the only way you can live forever besides writing a book.
"Successful is the person who has lived well, laughed often and loved much, who has gained the respect of children, who leaves the world better than they found it, who has never lacked appreciation for the earth's beauty, who never fails to look for the best in others or give the best of themselves."-Unknown

You must live like the Greeks and leave this world better than you found it (besides making baklava and giving everyone cavities). My mother always reminded me of this. I love her always for sharing the beauty of her soul and meaningful ways. A companionate woman who showed me the deepth of pure love. She would also say, "It is easy to make a buck. It is harder to make a difference" she was right.
My first best friend and my mum, Miyran Park. She set the bar so high in defining a mother's love. One day I will be very proud to pass this example onto my own children.
Born in Seoul, South Korea and raised in Europe (mainly Germany). I am the proud daughter of Nemico an Italian architect and engineer from Milan,Italy. Jeffery my German step father who raised me as his own and I respectfully address as father, a retired Military Intelligence agent and currently owns a private finance company. Miyang, my gorgeous mum from Chededo, South Korea an ex model that has her MD like both of my grandfathers. Eldest of 3 sisters, I was raised in Frankfurt, Germany majority of my life.
I am a self made banker and co-founder of my own finance company. I worked extremely hard all my life and am proud of this appreciation. I encourage all female entrepreneurs the same and if I can be of help, please feel free to contact me. I have always found it comical to hear weak women talk about what their boyfriends have or what they do, as a way to define themselves in another’s worth. I just drive by them in my exotic sports car, knowing…I never have to sit in the passenger seat. A strong woman never opens her legs for future securities. That can be easily had herself…and be exceeded beyond expectation. Be in love with someone because they enhance you, bring out the best in you, add days to your life and would die for you. Not someone you can simply use because, when you use people…you too are being used. When I am in love… It is such an enthralling feeling to know I can take care and provide for my significant other as well.
"Determination is born out of purpose...knowing that you are gifted for something and this something must be attained. It is never enough to rely on luck or natural talent. You must, above all, believe in yourself, face your goals, and then fight as if your life depended on it."
Shooting Range with my friend Sig Sauer
I truly value those with intensity, integrity, passion, define respect and are leaders by example. I like to know people of purpose and worth. People who not only know how to exist in this world but, live it to the fullest possible potential.
I believe true beauty goes beyond what the eyes can see. The beauty only the heart can feel. “Avete ottenuto ballare come guardare nessuno, il sogno come vivrete per sempre, in tensione come vostro andare morire domani e l'amore come non sta andando mai danneggiare."
Cannot stand boring people, they are life’s paralysis. I run from them as they carry a mental they disease. Not sure why anyone would just want to needlessly take up space?
"Many people will walk in and out of your life, but only true friends will footprints in your heart, to handle yourself, use your head; to handle others, use your heart. Anger is only one letter short of danger. If someone betrays you once, it is his fault; if he betrays you twice, it is your fault. Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people. He who loses money, lose much; he who loses a friend, loses much more; he who loses faith, loses all. Beautiful young people are accidents of nature, but beautiful old people are works of art. Learn from the mistakes of others, you can’t live long enough to make them all yourself. Friends, you and me…you brought another friend…and like that circle…there is no beginning or end…Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift, that is why they call it the present."-Compilation of my favorite sayings.
"Can miles truly separate you from friends… If you want to be with someone you love, aren't you already there?"-Richard Bach
