Erik Battista: Mission statement

As the being Erik Anthony Battista, I strive to treat the people and world around me with a balance of respect and honesty that may earn me the respect of others. After establishing stable bonds with those I trust, the goal moves to communicating mutually beneficial truths to my surrounding constituents. By aiding those around me and sharing what I know, the hope is to ease the burden upon myself while bettering those around me, leaving myself time to learn what others have to show and teach me. By keeping myself intimately integrated with my surroundings, I hope to be able to direct the focus away from myself and to those issues that affect all of us. Guiding all the aforementioned, I will stay true to my passions and use my strongest drives to behoove all who stay true to themselves and remain compassionate to their fellow man.
