Very outgoing, fun, understanding and patient,

Varies from person to person depending on who does it, it is not necessarily the same for everyone.

I played the flute, but only because my dad already had the instrument, this way I did not have to buy it. If I could I would like to play the piano and guitar because the guitar is classic and the piano is classy.

What is your favorite quote?

Christopher Gardner: Hey. Don’t ever let somebody tell you… You can’t do something. Not even me. All right?

Christopher: All right.

Christopher Gardner: You got a dream… You gotta protect it. People can’t do somethin’ themselves, they wanna tell you you can’t do it. If you want somethin’, go get it. Period. “

However, the quote I often say is “If you’re going to get wet you might as well go swimming.” To me it means you give it all or nothing. Give it your 100%. Give it all you got or don’t give at all.

What is your favorite movie genre?

Hard to say, either classic action comedies or meaningful movies like 7 Pounds.

“I feel like I am the exact opposite of what people expect me to be, I say this because people have told me this straight to my face after they meet me. From what I’ve been told I seem like a “jerk.”  The first girl that told me that was in my math class and said she thought I was going to be a “douchebag and jerk.”
