Eleven questions:

 1. What’s your favorite childhood memory?  I honestly don’t know. I wish I could pinpoint one, but I really can’t think of one. I don’t know if that is good or bad.

2. Who was your first childhood hero? Wonder Woman. When I was really young I was introduced to Wonder Woman through the old shows with Lynda Carter. I used to dress up in Wonder Woman costumes all the time because I wanted to be just like her and truth be told I thought she was so cool and such a great superhero that I even got my ears pierced because I wanted to be just like her when I was six years old. I think that’s why it is important that young people have those kind of role models to look up to and identify with growing up.

3. What was your favorite class in school and why? I think I’m going to go with the 3d classes I’ve taken in college just because I love the idea of creating something from nothing and watching it grow and evolve into a completed project. Plus it was one of the first times where I could kind of choose my own direction on what kind of assignments I wanted to do and I was pushing myself to grow and evolve and learn in ways that went outside of the classroom. 

4. Who is the most inspiring character to you (movie, book, TV show)? Scott Summers. I know there are a lot of great characters out there, but I really find myself inspired by Scott because here is a character who by Marvel standards should’ve grown up to be a villain according to their narrative, but he was able to survive the odds and come out a stronger person. He endured a lot of trauma and abuse as a child and really lived through some horrible things that made him stronger along the way. Plus Scott isn’t always the most popular or well liked of characters, but he makes the tough decisions. He does the things in being a leader that others don’t have to. When the whole AvX garbage went down he wasn’t thinking about what it would do to him as an individual, but rather he was willing to self-sacrifice for the greater good of the people around him even knowing that at the end of the day they were going to undoubtedly hate him. He gets a lot of heat for being the way he is, but a lot of people on his team would be lost without him. There are so many things about him that I identify with myself with the way my life has been I guess. Plus he’s got so many layers that I can’t help, but appreciate that.

5. What is your dream vacation?  If money were no object, where would you go, what would you do, what do you most want to see and eat?   I’d go to NYC. I go there whenever I get the chance, but there’s something very inspiring about being there and just taking in the atmosphere of the place. Every time I take a trip out there it brings out the creative bug inside of me and I find myself wanting to write and create. Usually when I’m there I spend a lot of time outside in the parks and exploring the city. It’s great to take in the atmosphere and there is always something happening around you. Just being around that kind of vibe helps the artist in me thrive. As for food admittedly I don’t eat much when I’m in the city just because food and I do not get along, but if I had to pick I would go to this Chinese place out there that has gluten free food (which where I live like almost never happens).

6. What is your biggest fear and is there anything you do to attempt to get beyond it or do you just hold your breath and deal with it when it comes up? My biggest fear is failure. Every time I mention that someone around me is quick to point out the ways in which I failed at something, but the thing is the despite the anxiety issues I have it’s that overwhelming fear that I’ll completely fail at live and never accomplish my dreams that really terrifies me. It’s a tough battle for me, but some days it is easy to give into that feeling like it’s going to take me under though a friend once told me that I needed to think about something that makes me happy when I’m feeling the most upset about what could go wrong.

7. What is your go-to daydream? I guess it would be that I was able to write a book and live in NYC doing something that makes me really happy.

8. What is your biggest comfort food? I can’t really think of one, but I have a horrible Dr. Pepper addiction that gets me when I’m feeling stressed out.

9. What is your favorite scent? Vanilla, there is this one wax air freshener that my mom has and every time I walk into the house it just smells super delicious lol

10. Where would you most like to live in the world? NYC. Not like anyone couldn’t have guessed. 

11. What song(s) can you listen to that always put you in your happy place? Uptown Funk because it reminds me of the road trips my sis and I took on the way to competition and it just fit the whole time period I guess.

My Eleven Questions:

1. If you could meet anyone alive or dead and spend a day with them, who would it be?

2. If you were in a zombie apocalypse and could pick a team of 6 other people/characters to fight with you, who would you choose?

3. Do you prefer the morning or night time?

4. Do you consider yourself an extrovert, an introvert or somewhere in the middle? 5. What do you consider your biggest success so far? 6. Superheroes or super villains? 7. If you could only eat one food for the rest of your life from here on out what would it be? 8. Name five things you can’t live without. (Pretend I put that in question form lol) 9. Pretend that you have an alternate persona as your secret identity like Superman or Batman. Who would you be and what would you do? (It can be a completely original made up persona or an established one. It doesn’t matter) 10. If you knew what day you were going to die, what would you do with the rest of your life while you were here? 11. If you could tell the world one thing to really convey who you are, what would it be?
