1. H E L L O my name is kris-tEn mo-zee-in Like every other person, I have ranging interests, thoughts, and skills. I believe in engaging my whole being in whatever it is I’m doing because in embracing the totality of my being I bring my best.

7. Design thinking is a new term I have recently learned.

11. I spent the summer of 2007 coordinating service trips in St. Louis. I met some AMAZING people who remain my inspirations. VIRGINIA, after obtaining her PhD, left the world of prestige to dedicate her life to working at a homeless shelter. She probably worked 80 hours a week, but never complained. She viewed her work as a privilege. JOSH runs a ministry for inner-city children and teenagers. He lives on-site in an old, rundown monastery with his wife and young child. Within a three-block radius of his ministry, the majority of the murders in St. Louis occur. 9

12. I believe that we are all created to be productive individuals, to take care of this earth, to delight in good food and water, to enjoy each other, to love, to laugh, and to marvel at the creation around us. But that’s not the world we live in. It’s unjust, disharmonious, and competitive. The restoration of each person’s identity to how we were created to be motivates me to change the world. 10
