Topic you are passionate about & why: I am passionate about stories of the sci-fi and fantasy genre. Any story can be told well, offer insight into humanity and life lessons. However the sci-fi and fantasy genre does it in a way that requires a lot of imagination and can really pull you into the world.

Quote you find inspiring: “Whether brought on by men or malignant spirits, we live in a world where Hell invades Earth from time to time. But sometimes, at the hands of men and women of goodwill, sometimes Heaven invades Earth too.” – Brent Weeks, “The Blinding White”

Favorite food/meal: Falafel wrap

A hope for your FVM year: I hope to get an idea of where God is calling me.
