Victoria Flis was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the city of brotherly love in 1987. She has always been fascinated by the complexities that surround her. As a child, she was exposed to many cultures and developed a love of diversity specifically because they presented highly order yet amazingly complex culture and society. Once in college, her interests turned to psychology and like to study in the field related cultures. She is currently a student at Gallaudet University. She loves to interact with people especially with children and she is planning to go to a graduate school to become a mental health counselor. The reason she has such a strong desire for achievement in academics is to gain knowledge, to seek out improvement in quality of life for Deaf youth and to encourage their activism in the Deaf community. After all, she has one life and one chance to make it count for something. She is free to choose what that something is, and that something that she had chosen is her faith. Her faith demands that she can give a tip to make a different. Throughout this unlikely path, one common trend remains: her focuses was, and continue to be, determined by an underlying interest in studying and understanding the complexities. GRO-Honduras will be her first time as a volunteer in another country and definitely not the last one. She is looking forward for this opportunity to make the success for GRO-Honduras. |
