 What's your favorite thing about yourself? "Myself? Oh man... I like that I'm a people person because I love people." Cuernavaca, Baja California, Mexico
 How are you trying to make the world a better place? "Personally, I'm trying to make the world a better place through compassion and empathy when communicating with others. Especially when working with Mexico Outreach at Azusa Pacific University, there is a lot of cross-cultural experience. A lot of people don't understand why things are different. It's easy to be upset with differences or think things are weird because they're different. I am passionate about educating people on the truth of it and that it's not weird or scary, but that it's just a different way of life and that it requires different way of loving people. I don't know if that's making any sense. I think I make the world a better place by helping to educate people on the way they can love others with compassion and empathy and sympathy and patience. You can't expect people to be at the same level that you are or for you to be the same level as other people, but you can work towards that and gain understanding from others and give other understanding. I think that's a huge part of truly love people." Cuernavaca, Baja California, Mexico

 What's your most prized possession? "I have so many things... none of them are prized. I'm a little bit of a pack rat, so I have so much stuff. I think my most prized possession would be my journal.
