Hi! I'm Mikkei Fritz and I am crazy excited to jump aboard on this
magnificent opportunity to travel to Ecuador. I am a graduate student at
the University of California-Irvine on track of getting my M.F.A. in
Acting. At this point in my life, my journey, my path --I am seeking for
what brings me the greatest joy.If I had to put it into words, I would
define “joy” as the process of how I am becoming my own man.I searched for
“joy” and found it in acting and I can say that the only thing that is
worth seeking is what you love and I love to act. This joy as taught me to
love my work, love my friends, love my family, and to love myself. I hope
to bring this "joy" to the community and the kids in Ecuador through my
teaching, my knowledge, and "joy" of theater.

“What matters is how you choose to love. As you know, there’s a lot of
emphasis placed on success, and I hear it all the time. But what I know is
there is no success where there is no joy, so instead of looking for
success in your life, look for the thing that is going to bring you the
greatest joy. Joy is the only goal really worth seeking.”
Oprah Winfrey
