I am very intense. I love life!
I never get tired of thinking! I love exploring ANYTHING from philosophy, to politics. My favorite areas to explore in my free time are psychology, neuroscience, and sociology. I love perusing through psych. journals/studies in particular!I am a recent graduate from the University of ***** at ****. I received my BA in both English Literature, and Communication Studies (focus in Rhetorical Studies), with a minor in Entrepreneurship.
One facet of my life that is crucially important to me, almost up there with exercising, is my music. I am a singer-songwriter. I play piano, guitar, sing, and perform out at various venues often. I started piano lessons when I was young, and my love for music just blossomed from there. Presently, I have over 150 copy-written songs. I LOVE music. I hope my music, and the lyrics I write, affect society, and my audiences, in a positive, uplifting way. My goal/dream is for my music, and my work in general, to be a part of re-rooting humankind's sense of dignity, faith, and confidence in their ability to envision, to choose, to create, and to sustain a positive relationship with other human beings, and their reality on a whole. We carry the entire world's reality (and thus the world's happiness,) within each one of us. We are all sensitively "dependent" (like a fractal formation) upon one another. ALL that we do has an AFFECT, and echos into eternity…In short, I hope that my music, reminds every human being that hears it, of how beautifully important, and individually powerful they are, in such a uniquely irreplaceable way.
I love learning, and I am very intense by nature. I also greatly enjoy teaching. In college, I started a private tutoring service for young ESL students. Tutoring has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. I love working with children, and watching their faces light up the moment they master a concept.
I'm always learning WITH them. I am blessed to have the opportunity to be their teacher.
One of my favorite philosophers is Niccolo Machiavelli. In his writings, he stressed the importance of one's telos, and/or the nature of one's target/goal(s), as a crucial determiner of one's destiny, and the outcome/effect one has on the world. I strive to address my life, my personal development, and every other"telos" I undertake, in the "manner" described beautifully by Vince Lombardi:
"I firmly believe that any man's finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle - victorious. "
And that's a little bit about me.
