About
I am an 18 year old freshman at The University of Tennessee at Knoxville. I strive to exemplify UT's creed in my very day life. "One that beareth a torch shadoweth oneself to give light to others." I have learned over the past several years that I get the most personal fulfillment when I am helping others in my community. I believe that life is not about receiving material things, but about the feeling I get seeing the reactions of giving support to those I help. Nothing is more satisfying to me than feeling loved, and seeing how compassionate people can be if you just take the time to connect with them. To me, life is about living in the moment, and what better way to do that than supporting and showing love to those around you.
