I'm an upbeat person who has suffered some hard knocks of life. I feel hard times can either make you bitter or better and i chose the more positive one. I like meeting new people and enjoy learning about different cultures. I think diversity is awesome and believe we should all learn to appreciate the differences in all of us. I have a low tolerance for racism and prejudice because I believe most of it is born out of ignorance. I enjoy helping people. My father taught me to never judge people and always try to put myself in their shoes to understand their situation. Pretty smart advice that I still use today.
