I'm a Peace Corps Education Volunteer currently serving near Manila in the Philippines. My job title is Teacher of English Language Fluency. I graduated from Indiana University-Purdue University-Indianapolis in May 2008 with a German Studies B.A. and Music minor. I'm a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, a vocalist and a pianist. Highlight of my college career: living in Vienna, Austria for six months as a Brigham Young University student. Note: This web site expresses my views alone and are not representative of the U.S. government or the U.S. Peace Corps. Every Peace Corps Volunteer's experience is different.

I like to draw, read write, sing, dance in the park on Saturday nights, and scream when Iget upset.

PhD student in Germany

I am Shanny. I am an American living in Germany. I am a mother, wife, believer, friend and observer. I find that I am often at odds with other belief structures and systems. I tend to think beneath the surface and search for higher meanings and purposes. I am not satisfied with emotional experiences and I want the real thing, all the time. Chit chat is about the only thing I cannot tolerate. I love a real person, even in all their flaws or perfections... its beautiful. I have a bleeding heart for the broken, hurting, lost, and lonely. Only Christ in me can be something that makes an odd person like me, hopeful that "all will be good". He is my life, and all the rubbish that is attatched to His name falsely, I will spend my life trying to free myself and others from, so they can find the beauty in His wonderful love, in its pure entire form. . I like music, movies, art, the goth/industrial culture, and Europe.
