Luke Sallmen

Luke is passionate about learning practically everything. He is involved in the fight for education throughout the world, and the fight against depression, although he doesn't like fighting much . His goals for the year are to adapt to a completely new environment, to become a part of a culture unlike his own, and to become a little less foreign.His favorite quote is kinda long: "Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there-on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam." - Carl Sagan
