5 Questions

Instead of having history, our counselor came in and game us a speech based of the book "7 Habits of Highly Successful Teens." Boring? A little bit. Except the paper he handed out to us which had questions that 'made us think.' There were a few questions that were better than expected. So here they are:

1. If you could spend one day in a great library studying anything you wanted, what would you study?
2. List five things you love to do. It could be singing, dancing, looking at magazines, drawing, reading, daydreaming-anything you absolutely love to do.
3. Describe a time when you were deeply inspired.
4. If you could spend an hour with any person who ever lived, who would it be? Why that person? What would you ask?
5. Think of something that represents you-a rose, a song, an animal. Why does it represent you?

My answers? Here they are:

1. I have been really interested in the medical field lately, so I would probably look up some interesting terminology on a variety of things of diseases and other things of that nature. 
2. I absolutely love reading. On summer vacation,  I read an uncounted number of books. They really take me away from reality and just let me into an unexplored world. When I am reading a book outside I am absolutely in heaven! I love the sunlight, the trees, the fresh scent, the calm breeze, everything! Nature is the most beautiful thing on this entire planet. It's a shame that some people don't appreciate it as much as before. Not to sound lazy, but I love sleeping. And when I say love, I mean love. It relaxes me and gives me an extra energy boost. And just as an added hint, it burns more calories than watching television. On the total opposite side of the scale, I love running and playing soccer. Running is an excellent stress buster and, as you probably already know, if the best kind of cardio exercise. What better way to enjoy your run than with a little music? The great thing about music is that there is such an extensive variety that it will fit any mood that is on this planet. It can also be motivational and inspiring in countless ways.
3. A time that I was deeply inspired was whenever my grandmother died. My entire family came together from all of the country to honor her. Everything just seemed to fit. All of the hole in my heart were filled, time stood still, and I felt whole as a person. Everything just felt complete. It really proved to me that family is the most important thing in my life. It was really moving and helped me take a step forward in my life.
4. I would definitely want to have dinner with my grandfather who served in WWII and died a few years later from a blood clot in his brain. Why him? I never got to talk to him, and I would love to know about the time period in which he lived and how his life compares to ours. 
5. A nut would probably be my symbol. Not because I am crazy, or 'nutty.' I am hard on the outside but soft on the inside. I also have this protective shell on the outside, which makes it difficult for me to trust other people.
