Hello,
I am going to take time to talk about Joshua L. Ferris. Well it seems that you already know my name, a little bit of background on me. I was raised in rural northwest Ohio until I was 19 year olds. I (though most would never guess it) was actually raised on a farm with animals, crops, and the dreaded job of baling hay every summer.I left home in the fall of 2000 and moved to the Pittsburgh, PA USA to attend school at the University of Pittsburgh.
While at Pitt I involved in many student organizations that focused on social justice and struggle. This is where I got into the biggest battle of my life, which was the fight for healthcare benefits for the domestic partners of Pitt employees. It was a long hard fight, but we won in September of 2004.I actually did study while I was at school. I double-majored in Religious Studies and History. I spent special attention to history of the ancient world, with focuses on the cults of classical Greece. Though very little is known about this, I could recommend a lot of stuff written by stuffy white British men.
At the moment, I am living in Quito, Ecuador where I am trying to learn Spanish. I spend a lot of time living life very differently than I have in the past, and I am learning a lot from the experience. I work as a teacher and occasional consultant. Here is a link to my curriculum vitae and also my business card for your address book.Though I know it is a long shot, I am hoping some loved one somewhere along the line will find this blog. If you are one of them and think “oh geez I should get Josh a gift of sorts.” Go to my wish list and feel free to pick something out for me.
