Born in the middle of Kansas, and raised by old-fashioned folk, I had a pretty good childhood; but it didn't take me long to realize that I didn't want to spend the rest of my life there. I followed what was expected of me and went to KSU with the goal of getting a degree, a great job, and lots of money. I soon decided that was not for me. I'll settle for the degree, a job I really enjoy, and enough money to eat. I also found out a lot about who I am and what I believe. I've no idea what I want to do when I grow up, but in the mean time, I'll spend some time with the Peace Corps and build up some positive karma.
