Who is your role model? Jesus Christ. I can/will never be like Him, because I will always make mistakes. However, I strive to, and in doing so, I try to live in a way that reflects His love.
What are your biggest pet peeves? Well I have three big ones: People who avoid making eye contact so they don’t have to speak, confident ignorance, and one that is specific to my mother. My mom calls my name, but when I shout back, “Yes ma’am?” (or “Yeah?”), she doesn’t answer. Then, moments later, she calls me again. And again, I say “Yes ma’am?” Silence. Then, I realize that I’m going to have to get up and go to her only so she can tell me something that she could have easily yelled out to me…just like she yelled my name.
