*If you could meet anyone - past or present - who would it be and why?* If I could meet anyone past or present, I would say I'd like to meet not just one person, but the entire band of Metallica. They aren't just my favorite band, they are an inspiration. I love how hard they worked to get as far as they have in the music life. I would love to meet them because when I was just a baby, my dad always played their music. Now that i've grown up, all I want to do is go to their concerts and meet them. Their music gets to me. Not just the way they play their instruments, but the lyrics. But if I had to meet someone as in just one single person, I would meet Josh Groban. He is such an amazing singer and musician. He has the voice of a God. His lyrics are amazing in every way and no matter how many times I listen to him, he always seems to make me happy.

*What are you most proud of?* I'm most proud of my little brother. He has gone through just as much as I have with my family. When I was little, I used to have to see my parents fight daily. There wasn't any time for me because all they ever could do was fight about anything and everything. I understand why my parents got a divorce. I'm old enough to know that they are better apart than they are together, but, Damon doesn't. He's only a 10 year old little boy that is afraid that he is isn't going to be able to see him mom or his dad. Even though he has been through my parents divorcing, he still is a hard worker. He knows that both his parents love him deeply and that no matter what, they will never leave him for anything.

*What motivates you?*
Not too many things can motivate me anymore. I'm not sure why but I am one of those kind of people that I just motivate myself. Some things that actually do motivate me is seeing people and how or what they've become. For example, when I walk into Mc Donalds and see the people that are in their late 30's early 40's, it makes me ask myself, "Is it worth it just to drop out of school or to stop caring about school? Do I want to end up like them making barely minimum wage?". I don't know if that's a good way to be motivated but it's one of very few that helps me. The other way I get motivated is to see how great people are and the things that they can do. Personally, I am very competitive. If someone is doing better than me let's say at a sport or in school. I will mentally tell myself that I know that I can do better and I will honestly try as hard as I can to do better than them. Not just because I want to beat them, but to become a better person at whatever I want to beat them at.

*What is your personal credo (belief)?*
I have a lot of things that I take personally to heart. One main belief that I have is that everyone should have the right to believe in something and not get judged off of it. If someone is Jewish and you don't believe in what they believe in, who says that you have the right to judge them just because you are either a different religion or just because they aren't like you? Another strong belief I have in is as a parent, show your kids that they can talk to you and come to you whenever they have a question or a problem. Most parents I know yell at their kids and say if they ever do anything that they don't like, they will ground them. I have always had amazing parents. they have gotten mad at me for the stupid things that I have done, but they have never made me feel like I am not able to come to them if I have done something or have a serious question.

*What characteristics do you value most in a friend? Explain why they are important.*
Some characteristics I like to find in my friends are they are open minded, easy to talk to and aren't two faced. The reason it's important that friends are open minded is because I want them to not be afraid to tell me their point of view on something I am having trouble with. If they think that i'm in the wrong, I want them to be able to not be afraid to tell me that.
The reason I want my friends to be easy to talk to is because if they are the kind of people that just pay attention to their phone of over talk you when you are trying to talk, I don't want to be friends with them. My friends need to be able to show that they really do care what I'm talking to them about.
The last characteristic that I look for in a friend is that they aren't two face. To me that is the most important characteristic because if they are going to go off and talk badly about me to someone else and then act like they really care to my face, I want nothing to do with them. If they have a problem with me, I want them to be able to tell me that to my face.

*What does the following quote mean to you? "You don’t get to pick where you’re from, but you always have control of where you’re going."*
What this quote means to me is that you have no choice as to how you are raised or where you are raised as a child but you always have a choice as to where you go when you grow up. To me that doesn't even just mean when you are a kid. Even as an adult, if you living a certain way at the moment, you always have a choice to move or go out and make something of you life. No one can control you when you set yourself a goal and go after that goal. You could be held captive all your life as a child and not get anywhere as a kid but once you become an adult, you have all rights as to become what you want to become.
