traditional colleges,

important learning I
have experienced has
come from workshops
& the reading I have
done on my own time.
The book that changed
my life more than any
other is about how to
save the world, it’s
called “Ishmael” and it
was written by Daniel
Quinn.

 When I was 18 I moved to
Portland, Oregon. I lived
there for 3 years. I have
been back in Orange County
for a month now. My plan is
to get back to Portland as
soon as I can and spend the
rest of my life there and
never see Orange County
again. My favorite thing
about Portland, besides the
amazing people, is the
beautiful scenery.
