About Me

My name is Jared Merrell, I am a representative of Scouts Canada. I would like to show my ideas to the world in the International Project Department. Right now I am working with a team of 5 people to organize a trip to Xi'an, China to help restore libraries and schools in that rural area. I also work in other fields like being a bartender. I would love to learn about everything that is out there. And that is why i am here to be curios and learn new things every day.

More About Me

I'm passionate about

Music - because it makes the world a happy place and it defines the world on where this fine art shows the personality of each person.

An idea worth spreading

I think that an idea should be like a program where forgotten children of the poor should be able to come play a instrument and learn the life of music. So that when they get older it can be used for a future college education.

Talk to me about

Anything you like, I am always ready to listen.

People don't know that I'm good at

My greatest skill is Memory, because I can remember things from like 20 years ago. And sometimes have memory is the best way to increase on the listening skills.

  • A comment on Conversation: Is a career or a job more important than family?

    Oct 18 2011: A Career is more important because it shows the credentials that you can support your family, in the future. As for a job, it can last for a certain time as long you keep up with its standards.

    That is my 2 cents.
