Facts: I am from Michigan, but have lived in Tennessee for most of life. I really enjoy learning languages, discovering new cultures, history, discussing religion, and traveling to new places. I love nature and the outdoors, astronomy, reading, writing, and painting. I like flying and bad singing. I enjoy simplicity.

What is philosophy? To me, philosophy is the desire to learn and know more about the world and the ways in which it works. Philosophy is curiosity. Its purpose is not to find a definite answer but instead to question and to continue to question who one is and what one believes.

Who has influenced my philosophy? It is very difficult to source and spotlight all of the influences in my life. I believe that every person with whom you meet leaves some sort of impression and that affects the way you see the world. And these influences will continue to sway your outlook on the world for the rest of your life. As it has been said in class, everyone brings something to the table. It is difficult to walk away from an encounter without having learned something. Even though I may not agree with comments and arguments that others make, they challenge my views and cause me to find my own understanding.
