Despite the large amount of time I spend evaluating my values, life-choices, and possibilities this biography is a struggle to write. I am in the midst of an (existential) transition from college attempting to find meaning and how I can best improve the world; but, I also want to see things, like the high peaks of mountains and West coast sunsets; understand the lives of others and travel; go dancing and thoroughly embarrass myself; and simply throw myself before the diversity of human and natural experiences that life has to offer. I want it all: love, authenticity, fun, laughter, care and understanding, the rainy Sunday mornings, the demands for social justice in the streets, vanilla sundaes and friendships. My current job, teaching urban children how to garden, is an attempt at all of that and it has been wonderful. The children are adorable and my lessons with them always make me wish I had a family or at least younger siblings to take care of. A city with plenty of people, opportunity, and potential for positive change calls me, though. I have grand ideals and simple desires, but right now I am trying to stay focused in the present (always a challenge), give what I can, and look to a lovely horizon - the exciting, diverse, active, and empowering possibilities of a place like NYC. I hope to get to know some of you and find like-minded people :) Have a lovely day!
