1. What kind of BARBIE do you think you’d be?
I love the sound of someone’s voice that is speaking from their heart. They sound completely different than someone who has other motives. People who are passionate and compassionate speak in a completely different manner. It’s really neat that it’s something you can tell just from the way they speak.
2. What’s the weirdest item you keep by your bed?
I would love to be a competitive eater. I love eating, but being able to eat as much as these competitive eaters do would be incredible. It would bring a whole new meaning to the phrase, “ALL YOU CAN EAT,” and believe me when I say I’d eat it all!
3. What cartoon character do you relate to the most and why?
Being spontaneous- I love adventure, and know it’s lurking around every corner. I’m not afraid to try anything new or anything out of the blue for that matter. Taking risks, chances, and having fun is what creates unforgettable memories and experiences. It broadens horizons, and captures life’s true beauty.
4. Would you time travel to the past or future?
I make plenty of mistakes, but I believe strongly in James Joyce’s words, “mistakes are the portals of discovery.” I consider it a blessing to make endless discoveries about myself, the world, and other people through my mistakes.
5. How would your parents describe your personality?
Potatoes. I am a true Idahoan with a devout love for potatoes: mashed, diced, baked, twice baked, fried, any way you make IDAHO potatoes, I will gladly eat them. I can even tell the difference between Idaho potatoes and those that are grown in other states.
