I'm a high school graduate in a fortunate misfortune of a gap year. I'm spending my time tutoring for my former school mostly, but also getting my private pilot license, reading, writing, and playing the piano. My biggest influences are Emerson, Thoreau, Whitman, Christopher Poindexter, and Tyler Knott Gregson. My favorite musician is Sufjan Stevens. My favorite movies are Hearts in Atlantis and Meet Joe Black; favorite book, Hearts in Atlantis. I will be pursuing a medical degree with a speciality in a cognitive science and finding my calling into education as a professor--or that's the plan. Favorite quote is from John Steinbeck's East of Eden: "'Thou mayest! Thou mayest!' What glory! ... Thou mayest rule over sin."
