Interests and Interesting!










As stated before I do love to play the violin. I have been playing since elementary school and while I have not been able to play in a while, it is still my favorite past time.





I also enjoy community service with a focus on the environment. Over the years, I have participated in everything from a creek clean up to volunteering wih the Red Cross. Community Service is very important to me. Its always very humbling to give back or help in any way you can and it opens your eyes up to understand and appreciate the important things in life.







Reading has not always been an interest of mine, however in recent years I have come to enjoy and appreciate it. Currently I am reading Fight Club by Chuck Palahniuk which is not like the typical book I would be interested in but its getting pretty good. I am also reaing Innovate or Die by Jack V. Matson for my summer research at Pennsylvania State University. It is a very inspirational book and my favorite quote so far is "It is far better to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checked by FAILURE, than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in the gray twilight that knows not victory or defeat."





I am double-jointed! Yes, I am one of the few people in the world that can do weird things with weird joints!
