Lauren, originally uploaded by akblaine.

If you know me, chances are you also know Lauren.

She's been my pal since we were neighbors our freshman year at Gonzaga. She is a sister to me.

She is smart.

She is beautiful.

She is reliable.

She is funny.

She is loving.

She has a deep passion and concern for social justice.

She believes that every human has at least the right to basic needs such as food, water, shelter, and health care, so she is devoting her life and career to helping the world achieve this goal.

She started a blog (I kinda sorta think I maybe kinda had a little something to do with inspiring her to do so): http://laurenpelascini.blogspot.com
