I love my family, my country, The Ohio State University and the opportunity to serve those who often cannot. Anyone who has had the chance to see this world knows just how fortunate we are and that each of us has a moral obligation to make this world a better place. We should all strive to make our lives worthy of being on this earth.This will only happen if we treat each other with the humanity and respect that every person deserves. We can do better. Motto: “I am fundamentally an optimist. Whether that comes from nature or nurture, I cannot say. Part of being optimistic is keeping one’s head pointed toward the sun, one’s feet moving forward. There were many dark moments when my faith in humanity was sorely tested, but I would not and could not give myself up to despair. That way lays defeat and death.” Nelson Mandela
