I have a strong passion for travel and language. In 2008 I lived in Indonesia for 6 weeks and
attended an Indonesian College. From that point onwards, I have travelled to many countries
and explored many beautiful cities. I have a strong love for hiking, and a great love for the
outdoors. Volunteering my time for those who are in need, or for those who are less fortunate
than I am, gives me extreme joy and pleasure. I am an avid reader, and a diehard music lover.
From a young age I have wanted to become a teacher. I love seeing the look in the students
eyes when they learn something they never knew. I endeavor to teach them how to make
good choices and how to think for themselves. As stated by Nelson Mandela, Education is the
most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.
