I've lived in Japan for a year, teaching English and it was a fantastic experience.
My Philosophy
It's the golden rule: do to others as you would like to have done to you. I feel that the majority of problems can get better if more people had active compassion and empathy.
What Gives Me Hope
When I see people being kind to others, in particular to servers, cashiers, animals, etc.
If I were Mayor, I'd make the world a better place by
What/who changed my life and why
There has been so much that inspired change in my life, from books to movies, to people. An example would be reading Me to We. It's written by 2 brothers, one of whom, started an organization called Free the Children at the tender age of 12. If a 12-year old can aspire to greater good, we can, too!
