    I'm obsessed with politics, current events, and "deep" discussions. I can ramble on for hours about religion, the war in Iraq, different political issues, and any other interesting topic you bring up. I like to create videos for my website www.peacetakescourage.com and I'm currently working on my first documentary. I aslo like to watch movies, especially if they have good cinematography.

  • Heroes

    I have too many heroes to list, so instead I'll list a few of my favorite quotes: "Men without hope, resigned to despair and oppression, do not make revolutions. It is when expectation replaces submission, when despair is touched with the awareness of possibility, that the forces of human desire and the passion for justice are unloosed." -- Robert F. Kennedy "America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter, and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves." -- Abraham Lincoln "The soldier above all others prays for peace, for it is the soldier who must suffer and bear the deepest wounds and scars of war." -- Douglas MacArthur "It is time for all people of conscience to call upon America, come back home, come home America. Omar Khayyam is right: 'The moving finger writes, and having writ moves on.' I call on Washington today, I call on every man and woman of good will all over America today, I call on the young men of America who must make a choice today. Take a stand on this issue, tomorrow may be too late. The book may close." -- Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

    Hahah indeed! Ithaca seems like a very nice town to easily adjust to for college, and plus I'm planning on living in NYC so it's like a good middle step, only if I make it in that is.
    We'll have to keep in touch with this all!

    I was going to apply to NYU as well, but I'd just be tooo afraid to live in NY all alone. So I'm hoping for Cornell, hahah. Good luck, I'm sure you don't need it.

    Good Luck...They will be lucky to have you where ever you choose!
