Introduction

Whenever reading any news or opinions you need to take into consideration who is writing, their audience and how that may affect that piece. Therefore before we get started on any news stories and opinions it is important that you as readers understand a little bit about me and my worldview.

I am a senior in high school who has grown up as a third culture kid. This means that I grew up in a culture different than that of my parents which for me is in Kenya. I am an American but have spent the last 17 years of my life in Kenya. Having this experience has shaped my worldview to incorporate a global perspective and become more open-minded.

Another important aspect of my life which shapes my worldview is my Christian faith. Having grown up in a christian home and taking on this faith for myself this has shaped the way I view the world. Many times Christians tend to be very specific in their views and less open minded, but for me this is not the case. Since I know that this faith is true I do not need to be afraid of hearing others ideas and thoughts and being open to what they have to say. I try my best to be objective in whatever I am investigating even if it seems to contradict what I believe in regards to my faith. In fact this objectivity is more important because I am a Christian. If I do not look at every possible side then I have no basis for my belief on that subject as is with my faith.

That basically sums up the most important things to know about me when reading this blog.
