personal information

Even though I've used this myspace account for all things work related, it serves as my personal account as well. So with that said, I might as well introduce myself: My name is Ariel (pronounced Ahhh-ree-elle). I was born in Queens, New York to two Haitian parents and raised in the heart of Long Island. I am currently a student at New York University (Class of 2009), studying General Psychology, Education/Special Education and Computer Applications. I plan on attending Graduate school (most likely in Manhattan), and I hope to be able to study something I am interested in. I play quite a few instruments (none particularly well as far as I'm concerned), with violin having some serious staying power (14 years and counting). Here are some quick fun facts about me:

• My favorite color is hot pink.
• I love food with a passion that clearly cannot be healthy.
• I knit and crochet a lot
• I love yoga and meditation.
• Usually, I try to avoid being the center of attention.
• Volunteering and teaching are the activities I look forward to the most during my week.
• I've been drawing for as long as I can remember.
• My Dad began teaching me computer programming languages at the age of 4.
• I have always considered myself to be a very shy person in the past but I'm trying to change that.
• I value love, respect, family and friends.
• I don't care much for humidity. At all.
