Hello! My name is Nathan C. Demarest, and I am originally from Greenville, PA; which is halfway between Erie and Pittsburgh. I am an Early Childhood and Special Education Major with a Minor in Theology. I love food in general, but I am particularly fond of seafood and cheesecake (Not together though!). My favorite movie is tough to decide, but I love Star Wars, and I am very attached to Wall-E. My hobbies include making rosaries out of string, playing basketball, singing, playing guitar, and reading. My favorite holiday tradition is having my grandparents and uncles over for Christmas dinner with my family and eating homemade kolache on Christmas Day. One interesting fact is that I am aspiring to be a musician, especially playing praise and worship music. I’m very much looking forward to the journey to Toronto, getting to know my fellow travelers more, and living at L’Arche! Peace and God’s blessings to you!
