can't wait to have those experiences.

cookies from scratch with my grandma.

I got a key chain for Christmas one year from my boyfriend. It's funny in retrospect because of how
awful of a gift it was, but at the time I didn't find it funny in the least!

30. How do you manage stress?

far, it's helped.

I learned a lot about myself instead.

My father (he is a professional percussionist).

35. Have you ever had a "now or never" moment?

Go horseback riding. I have always loved horses and attended horse camp five summers in a row.

40. Have you ever taken responsibility for someone elses

mistake?
When I was a server, I would take the heat for other servers all the time because I was a favorite of
my manager and hardly ever got in trouble while other servers would get punished for simple
mistakes. I also was able to fix most of their mistakes before they could become a problem. I think it
was the right thing to do because I was able to help the guests and my coworkers without causing a
scene.

41. What's your personal anthem?

The song that defines my life is "Breathe in, Breathe out, Move on" by Jimmy Buffett. I even have the

I would want to be a pterodactyl so I could fly.

48. What is your very first memory?

there I asked her if I was a big girl. She turned to me, smiling warmly, and said, Youre mommys big
girl.

49. What is one life lesson you will never forget?

I had a teacher, Mr. Grey for third grade. Back then I had a lot of learn disabilities blanketed under
dyslexia. My. Grey taught me that even if I learned differently from other children or some things were

am so lucky that I had him as an educator.

50. What historical figure would you most like to meet?
