About Me
- Khrissee
- I am 23 years old and have finished my first year of my Masters in Public Administration with a Concentration in International Management. I have my BA in Communication and Human Behavior with a Minor in Philosophy. I've fallen on black days but you can stand me up to the gates of hell and I won't back down. There is the known, the unknown, and in between are the doors. I plan to know each of these doors. I'm going to do it all. I will accept everything but fall for nothing, stubborn yes. I work hard at and for everything I do and all I want in life is to be remembered. I am a firm believer that everyone you meet in life is there to teach you something- take every moment for all its worth. I am thankful for everything that I have in life and look forward every day to the challenges that it holds and the people I will meet. The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace things, but burn like fabulous roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue center light pop and everybody goes "AWW!"
