Writing is what I really love to do, and specifically creative writing, therefore the written language has always been fascinating to me. And not just English, but languages from around the world hold my interest. I would like to learn Mandarin Chinese, German, French, Spanish, and Italian. There are also several programming languages I like such as C++, Java, Python, Perl, Ruby, HTML5, CSS3, etc., but the few I know to any degree are C++, HTM5, CSS3, and Java. They are also used to express creativity in developing software, not unlike how an author writes a story, article, poem, or book.

Intellectual interests are too plentiful to choose just one. I also love history, science, sociology, comparative religion, politics, and mythology. One of my favorite authors is Joseph Campbell, because his books on the mythological underpinnings of human psychology are absolutely brilliant. We see mythological underpinnings expressed in every aspect of human existence from architecture, music, relationships, scientific inquiry, religious expression, art, etc. I mean, we named the planets in our solar system after ancient gods, in addition to many other celestial bodies. I also like Carl Jung and his pioneering works on the value of mythology in relation to psychology in the form of the collective unconscious. Jung's work lead to terms we, today, take for granted, such as introvert and extrovert.

Where has this topic been all of my life? I thought I was all alone. My first interest has always been to write the Great American Novel, most likely in the science-fantasy genre, because you can truly express the big ideas in fantasy and science fiction, and communicate them more effectively than in a modern setting, at least in my opinion. I love playing music in a band, well, mainly playing the drums, singing, and songwriting. I began my undergraduate degree in anthropology, the next year I switched to psychology, and I finally made up my mind to study health informatics. My graduate degree will be in organizational management with a specialization in health care administration. I have also thought about being a college professor, a medical researcher, or even a physician. I want to do it all, but that is what life is about, isn't it? I love reading, I love discovering things, and I just love learning. I may eventually get a PhD in health care administration, or psychology, but that can wait for a few more years.
