I think I'm doing alright in this world for being only 23 years old. My experiences and interactions have helped teach me alot about people as well as myself. I have lived with some of the poorest people in the world for six months in Haiti. I assisted keeping the peace, or what little there was, for nearly a year in the desert between Egypt and Israel.

As far as academic strengths are concerned my experiences in the past have...
