Today I start another 365-day journey of my life. Although a birthday means that your life is one year less, we should never take a day for granted. We must make the most of and celebrate every day of life. Because it's not the years in your life that count but the life in your years, I look forward to many more adventures, experiences and learning opportunities in my near future.
In honor of my day of birth, I thought I'd share 36 interesting facts about myself. Enjoy!!
