My name is Irene, but I prefer people to call me by my nickname Kring. And I am a girl who has big plans for the future.

I want to study for a master's degree abroad (preferably at Syracuse University). My ultimate dream is to become a travel writer and tour around the world. I want to do extreme things. I want to open up a scholarship program someday and help those who want a good education.

At the age of 21, I've yet to begin my quest in finding 'the one'. I've been boyfriendless since birth, but I do not let that affect me much. I never had and I never will. I am perfectly contented with being single for now - until I finally meet someone truly special.

Contrary to what people have seen, I was never the perfect girl. I had some ups and downs in life. I have delighted, pleased, offended, angered and disappointed a lot of people, even those close to me. And though I'm always the butt of jokes and get extremely sensitive with sarcasms from acquaintances and friends alike, I always find the heart and the courage to get back up to live and fight another day.

I am a girl who is still struggling with the subject called life, but I am having fun with it. I'm making new friends and learning new lessons each day. I'm eager to find out what's in store for me and I have no intention of quitting anytime soon. :)
