About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Start each day with a smile!
ABOUT ME
I am a sophomore college student interested in exploring the world. I read books and volunteer in my free time. I am the oldest of five children, a dancer and a member of the marching band. Three random facts about me. 1) My favorite fruit are blueberries. 2) I am a lifetime member of Girl Scouts of America. 3) My favorite superhero is Wonder Woman followed by Batman and then Captain America.
PHILOSOPHY
Even the darkest nights eventually yield to the dawn.
I really relate to this saying because I am an optimistic through and through. I believe people should learn from the past but live in the present and not focus on could have, would haves or should haves. Life is too short to be hung up on sadness.

Interests
I am a Girl Scout and love mentoring young kids. I work with kids a lot and volunteer with youngins as much as I can. Architecture is one of my passions and I will read architecture books/magazines till my eyes get tired. When I can't work on my architecture homework anymore I usually watch documentaries and I LOVE the History channel.

Music, Movies, and Books
Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Sword of Truth Series and a whole bunch more.
Recently I just saw the movie Oblivion (which also happens to be my favorite video game at the moment) and fell in love with the little cabin house.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
One of the things I can never get enough of is a good football game in Boone Pickens Stadium. I love the energy coming from my Cowboy family and preforming during the games is one of my favorite memories from college.
If you have no idea what I am talking about watch this clip. This is the audio from a football game where the team is running out.

Teach, Learn, Share
One of the things I really want to learn is a new language. I can share several little things. I know how to tie knots and fry fish. I also make awesome apple pie and I just found the best chocolate brownie recipe!
