My name is Kayla Marie Markel. I am 23 years old. I am from Altoona/Pennsylvania. I am a college student in Penn State Altoona, I am majoring in Adolescence Psychology. I am taking four years and then going four more years until I get my doctrine in Psychology. I also have dreams of playing my violin in a Japanese orchestra. Not to mention, move to Tokyo/Japan to open up my own practice as a psychologist. Some things that interest me, well I am really inspired by the Japanese culture, I really enjoy everything it has to offer style wise and religion wise. I also enjoy meditation, it really helps you clear your mind and make your days better. With that, I also love to work out, I do taebo and pilates five days a week and run up the stairs 30 times, five days a week, I have been doing this for about four years now. I am a vegetarian, have been one now for four years in counting, I feel what they do to the animals is cruel and wrong. I also have tons of collections, I collect expensive purses, Hello Kitty, and Japanese stuff. Shopping for clothes is another weakness of mine, I love to shop at Claires, Hollister, Guess, Macy's, Coach, Pac Sun, Jimmy'z, Hot Topic, American Eagle, Charoltte Russe, and Victoria Secret. I also have a huge passion for music. Types of music I adore would be...JRock/JPop/Meditation/Classical/Cultural music. I use to play violin with private lessons for about eight years then I quit. However, I just started playing it after three years and I want to continue playing it. I also love make-up and bright colors, I love being creative and thinking outside the box. Finally, I love living life, I want to inspire people who are hurting that there is hope out there for you, life is beautiful and just because it may not seem like it right now, you just need to have faith and keep your chin up. Real love comes from the heart and when some one who is "real" tells you they love you, cherish that forever. Thank you God for leading me in the right directi
