Curriculum Vitae

What is a CV? I am serious! Is it a place to record your accomplishments and gains in life, or is it a place to brag about what you find rewarding. In its essence, a CV is just that, the Curriculum of a Life. So how do you mark the Curriculum of a life when so many things shape and mold it? In my life, I have been shaped and molded by experiences both good and bad. This website holds the keys to all of them, which is why this list will never be complete. Just like my life, this website is evolving. Even though I believe that the worth of a person is beyond the experiences they list in a CV, it is still a good idea to list them.
