Three things that, upon meeting me, can be immediately understood about me are that I love meeting new people, I appreciate having meaningful discussions with good friends or just people I meet at the library or on the bus, and that I'm passionate about almost everything (whether my feelings are positive or negative they are more than likely very strong and carefully thought out).
Things that may not be immediately apparent are that I have an intense desire to impact the world as positively as I can in every way that I can, that I love yoga, music, art, and nature, that I have an extremely introverted side, and that a current goal of mine is to write a series of zines about the Israeli-Palestinian relationship, narratives, & the peace process.
My biggest strength is appreciating the value of things around me and directing/using/sharing that appreciation in various ways.
My biggest weakness is insecurity--it keeps me from doing things from which I would benefit greatly (and that I wouldn't be as bad at as my insecurities lead me to believe).
I speak four languages and I'm working on a fifth.
I am a vegan-- I love vegetables and fruits almost as much as I love my family. Maybe more.
Something that excites me is the thought that one can expand one's frame of reference, perspective, and perception of the world through education and cultural immersion and therefore be able to better communicate and cooperate with new people, creating understanding, respect, and peace where it could not have otherwise existed.
My name is Sophie Shiloh and I can't wait to meet you and learn from you/with you in this course!
