Becky's questions answered by me :)

So, my friend Becky posted a list of questions on her blog months and months ago and answered them. She called them 'Life Searching Questions.' I figure, now is as good of a time as any to do some life searching. And you, my lucky readership, get to read about it. Don't you feel priviledged? I didn't think so. Anyway, let the Life Searching begin.

1) What is your biggest fear?
My biggest fear is becoming a societal zombie, instead of sticking by what I value and believe.

2) What is your proudest moment/achievement?
I'm not sure I have a proudest moment. I remember being very proud when I saw how proud my dad was of me the first time I left the country on my own. I'm very proud of the work I've done at the Ark. But, I don't really have one proud moment. I guess, I'm proud of who I am.

3) What is your most embarassing moment?
Again, I'm not sure I have a most embarassing moment. It's been embarassing to transfer schools again, and be 23 and still not have a bachelor's degree. But, I can deal with that. Any embarassment that I've felt about certain situations, I've gotten over by now I think.

4) What is your dream job/career?
I would love to be an aid worker, or something. Travelling the world and giving aid to people. Realistically, I'm working towards being a guidance counsellor, but ideally, I'd love to travel the world and see as many people and help as many people as possible.

5) Who is your biggest role model/who inspires you?
My parents definately have been my biggest role models. They are the best people I know, and have taught me more as far as integrity, responsibility, compassion, and thirst for knowledge than anyone else. As far as who inspires me, my friends, the kids I work with, my family...everyone I love inspires me.

6) Describe the best day of your life thus far:
Hmm...I'm not sure I've had a best day of my life. One of my favorite days so far was when I was in Colorado, and me and two of my closest friends spent all day together, watching movies and talking and hanging out. That was really great. I had some awesome days in Germany and Ireland. Most of my best days are days that I've been able to bond with someone, or spend time with people I love.

7) What is the most beautiful place you've ever been to?
The cathedral in Galway, Ireland was the most beautiful building I've ever been in. Munich was so full of history and beautiful buildings. But, at the same time, one of my favorite places to be is on the beach in Sheboygan when the sun is rising.

8) What do you want people to remember you for?
I'd like people to remember me for my compassion. And that I was who I was, regardless of what everyone else thought.

9) Have you ever regretted anything that you've done? Or that you've not done?
There are some things that weren't necessarily the most pleasant to go through in my life, because of things that I've either done or not done, but I don't regret any of my choices. My life is what I've made of it, and I'm happy with everywhere I've been in life, and what I've taken from it.

10) What is your favorite childhood memory?
I don't really have one favorite memory. If I picked a favorite, it means I'd have to leave out so many other wonderful memories. In general, just remembering the environment of creativity and music and love that my sisters and I grew up in, is the best memory.

So, there you have it...I've searched my life via these questions. Did you learn anything? Did I? Hmm...its a mystery....
