Andrea Colman

Majored in Art History
SUNY New Paltz, Class of 2018
From Pine Island, N.Y.

Andrea (Gross/Alboretti) Entrepreneur, Creative Thinker I am an exceptionally creative and original and I possess a touch of the unusual. My approach to problems is often unique and I have the courage and often desire to wander from the beaten path. I have little or no prejudice and a great deal of compassion and tolerance. I knew everything when I was a teenager, started to know less in my 20's, began to forget the things I thought I knew in my 30's and now that I'm in my 40's I realize I know practically nothing about anything and the more I learn the less I actually know! The best part is that I'm O.K. with that. I'm comfortable with paradox, ambiguity and spontaneity. Of course I live in the NOW whenever I'm not thinking about the past or future, but I'm trying to get over that. I have friends, good, true friends, both conservative and liberal, Christian, Jew, Buddhist, Pagan, Wiccan and agnostic. I like to think I build bridges, not fences and I find good in all. I love to learn other peoples' truths since truth is like water and takes many forms. I embrace hardship and challenges with gratitude as I see them as the greater gifts from God or The Universe or Whatever. These are always the best lessons for advancing our souls if we can learn them otherwise we will just continue to get hit over the head with the same problems 'til we 'GET IT'. It's only my opinion, but so far it works for me.
