I believe that: God, the father almighty, creator of heaven and earth will come again to judge the…Just kidding, I believe that green smoothies, yoga, running and love are the keys to happiness.

My father taught me that: “Education is paramount. Your wealth, the people around you, and the material things you own might not be there on day. Work on growing yourself because it is all you truly own.”
