What inspires me to conquer the day? I am driven by a passionate belief in knowledge, achievement, and growth. I aim to live these values through empowering and leading others down this road we call life. The ability to guide someone through a tough time provides me with positive emotion, and emotions make life meaningful. If I could embody one quote, it would be: "If you laugh, you think, and you cry, that's a full day... You do that 7 days a week, you're going to have something special."- Jimmy Valvano. I often enjoy spending time with my family/friends, playing video games, spending time in nature, writing poetry, fishing, working on cars, and pondering the philosophy of life.
