Location Anywhere, The World
Introduction Hi! I'm Jessica Walters from Wisconsin, USA. In March of 2006 I was accepted to participate in the Up With People Global Education Program. I will travel for 5 mo. with this program to three continents impacting the world in a big way while learning about different cultures and the importance of diversity. A little about me- I'm a 23 year old junior at UW-Milwaukee. My major is in Secondary Education with an emphasis in English and a minor in Spanish. Outside of school I work full time and enjoy doing lots of volunteer work for many people and places. I love meeting new people because you never know what you might learn from them! I have one very crazy 14 pound calico kitty named Angel. And while I'm away she will be staying with my very crazy family :)- My mom (Jane), sister (Julie), niece(Alexis), and two other cats(Cally and Tanner), and a dog(Snoopy)!!! As of January 6th, 2007, my home will be the Up With People Cast and the homes of the kind host families who will volunteer to have us be part of their family for a week. Well I think that's about it for now, check out my blogs for updated information about me and my travels!
Interests hiking, volunteering, swimming, photography, reading, traveling, music, dancing, meeting new people
Favorite Movies Although I like almost any type of movies I like romantic comedies best
Favorite Music I like all sorts of music from classical to rock. I don't like the really loud screaming music or really twangy country but everything in between I'll listen to. Overall my ears tell me what I like.

Your superpower is that you smell like dandelions whenever someone lies. How will you maintain your secret identity?

I'll always carry a bouquet of flowers where ever I go. Then if the people aren't lying I can brighten their day and give them the flowers. If they are they won't be able to smell my smell because the flowers will smell too!
