-          I'm Westley Winks. Learning is my passion and this website is one
-          manifestation of that.
+          My name is Westley Winks. I try to live my life with integrity by
+          living according to my core values:
         </p>
-
+        <ul>
+          <li>
+            <strong>Learning.</strong> I live for the pursuit of learning and it
+            gives my life meaning and purpose. I stay curious and am always looking
+            for new information and skills. For me, learning looks like <a
+              href="/books">reading books</a
+            >, <a href="https://github.com/Westley-Winks">coding</a>, solving
+            puzzles, reading blog posts, <a href="/writing">writing</a>, and
+            trying new things. One of my weaknesses is learning <em
+              >for the sake of learning</em
+            > and staying on the theoretical side of things instead of applying them.
+          </li>
+          <li>
+            <strong>Service to others.</strong> One of my roles in this life is to
+            compassionately serve others, supporting them and nurturing their growth.
+            I enjoy being known as &quot;the guy&quot; who people call, knowing that
+            I will put all my effort into helping them. Serving others looks like
+            <a href="/peace-corps">volunteering</a>, choosing the "support role"
+            in any game I play, and <a href="/writing">writing</a>.

 ## Writing Book Notes
 
-I have been having a blast with this. I had quite a bit of free time last summer and was reading a lot. I wanted some way to engage more with what I was reading and not forget the things that I learn. I read almost exclusively on my Kindle and highlight and note things as I read. At the end, I use my custom Python script to extract all those notes and put them into a markdown file. Then I go through the highlights and write more structured notes in Obsidian and [post them to my website]({{< relref "books" >}}). For non-fiction, I try my best to put things in my own words and bold the really important bits to make the note scannable with the eyes.

 For fiction, I do more of a book review structure and am loving it. I hadn't written anything for a fiction book since high school and absolutely hated it then. I use a rating system called [CAWPILE](https://kristinkravesbooks.com/2020/09/14/cawpile-rating-system/) that gives me a nice structure that I need to think more deeply about the fiction I am reading.
