It is my opinion that the majority of men (and women) spend either all or most of their lives trying to find out what their purpose is in this world. That is the most common answer when a person is asked the question, "If you could ask God one thing what would it be?" Although I am not 100% sure, because honestly I doubt anyone is ever entirely sure, I believe that my purpose is to simply help others. I know that is a broad topic, but I think it's meant to be. I have always somehow had the ability to understand a person's problem and somehow relate to them and help them through their troubled times. Aside from simply helping my friends through their troubled times, I have also developed a passion for taking part in mission trips to other countries. I have traveled to Trinidad three times, Ecuador once, and have just recently been to Uganda. These experiences have had such an impact on my life that I see myself pursuing this lifestyle farther down the line. After I graduate I plan on eventually applying for the Peace Corps to further persue my passion for helping others and to simply see the world and know what's out there. Because of these experiences my life mission is as follows:

To use to my abilities, skills, knowledge, and personal experiences to help improve the lives of others to the best of my abilities.

"Be the change you want to see in the world."
-M. Gandhi
