Quote of the Week

To live is to choose. But to choose well, you must know who you are and what you stand for, where you want to go and why you want to get there. Kofi Annan

I have always enjoyed numerous subjects, so deciding on any one thing to move my life forward has always been a personal struggle for me.

  • Art and Photography
  • Politics
  • Journalism and Creative writing
  • Studies of our Environment
