Who? Eileen, 22

Where? I'm from the Sunshine State! More specifically, South Florida, the land of palm trees and tropical weather all year-round! I'm currently schooling in Gainesville at the University of Florida (GO GATORS!)

What do you do? I'm a student (Sociology Major) but I'm aspiring to be a medical doctor. I'm amazed by life, how God creates and how science tries to understand it all. If the opportunity presents itself, I would love to start my own home decor firm to help those who are stuck in a design rut. I'm simply a girl who loves pretty things and tries to be better than I was yesterday!

What inspires you? God inspires me to be a better person every single day. I could not imagine waking up and not leaning on His strength to get through the day. My mother inspires me too. She was born in a village in Nigeria and used education and become a successful mother and an awesome human-being. She always encourages me to be generous with life and because of that I have never lacked one good thing. It is through her beauty and strength that I can look for the light at the end of all the tunnels in life.

Why are you fly? I'm fly because I know my steps are ordered. I believe that everything happens for a reason and life is a giant classroom. I'm fly because I know that love starts with me, which means that I am in control of the love that accumulates in my life. If I want more love, I must be willing to exhibit it from the inside and be bold enough to share it with others come what may. I'm fly because I know that there is no one in the world who can take my place.

Advice: As cliche as this may sound, be you! God has a plan for all of us, but that plan has nothing to do with another person's purpose. Stop comparing yourself to other people and start planting seeds within to develop the absolute best for your life. Love God, love others, and love yourself. :-)
