Description
I'm in the middle of a Gap Year--taking some time to travel and work and meet people before I go to university. I was born in Washington, DC but spent most of my years in Michigan--the midwestern part of the United States.
I love sports, especially soccer (football to the majority of the world). I love to read & meet new people, too.
I've worked part-time for almost 4 years in a Retirement Community as a food server. I've also worked as a teacher's aide in my hometown elementary school. The first part of my Gap Year (Sept-Dec. 2016) was spent in Tanzania, Africa as a teacher's aide in a rural school. I love working with children--we get along really well. I also enjoy helping older people with their needs. Even though I didn't intend to work with the extreme ends of the age timeline, I have to say, I've had some incredibly rewarding experiences and am better because of them.
I have 2 brothers, 1 sister, 2 cats and a mom and dad and we all live together in a 125 year old home in a small village outside Ann Arbor, Michigan. It's been wonderful growing up here, but I'm eager to explore and live in other places around the world.Interests
