You try

" If you could send me your resume and a few lines describing your background and interests (two-three sentences is good :) ) that would be helpful!"

Hm. My whole life and future in 2-3 sentences? Tough assignment. My answer:

I am interested in the intersection of development and ethics (How can we ensure international development is done ethically? How can we help develop ethical people?). My interest has led me to work in different substantive fields, of which I am drawn most toward public health, economic, and political development.

You try. It's hard!

Shadow

Definitions of shadow on the Web:

• shade within clear boundaries
• apparition: something existing in perception only
• trace: an indication that something has been present
  
• refuge from danger or observation
• a dominating and pervasive presence
• make appear small by comparison
• an inseparable companion
• A shadow is an area where direct light from a light source cannot reach due to obstruction by an object.[the object = ME]

Sometimes when I'm walking, the sun makes my shadow long behind me. Sometimes my shadow walks beside me, standing tall and confident. Sometimes when I bike home through the park, the moonlight reveals a dark friend, biking alongside me through the night.

Sometimes -- sometimes I like my shadow more than I like myself.
