03. How did you find out about the Percy Jackson series? My brother read the series and kept telling me about how great it was, he and I have similar tastes in books so I read them and instantly fell in love with them.

04. What do you wish to accomplish in life? I want to be an Occupational Therapist and maybe a Disabilities Director at college some day. I also want to get married and have a family after I finish my masters. And possibly publish a novel if I ever get the chance.
05. What type of magical object would you like to have? I absolutely love Annabeth's cap and how it turns its wearers invisible. So, definitely something that would make me invisible or would trick any monsters/evil creatures that I would be fighting.
06. What makes you like or dislike a person? I like it when people are genuine, honest and just go with the flow. I dislike it when people act fake and lie.
07. Are you a leader or a follower? I think I'm a leader. I don't really like to depend on others too much, I'm pretty independent. I'd rather do for others than have them do something for me.
08. What would you consider your fatal flaw?
I guess I would have to say over thinking things. I tend to over analyze everything and that isn’t always a good idea because it can lead to worrying.
09. What do you think are your top five best qualities?
01. Determined - I always work hard for something I know I need or want.
02. Imaginative - I have a huge imagination and that leads to creativity, which can be very help in lots of situations.
03. Quick Learner - I am a very quick learner; I pick up on things quickly and am always eager to learn more.
04. Good Listener - I always try to listen to others, even though I may not agree with them.
05. Dependable - I try my best to be there for others.
10. What do you think are your top five worst qualities?
01. Impatience- I like to be able to do things quickly and easily and having to redo a project because I messed something up annoys me.
02. Pride- I don’t like for others to see me mess up.
03. Fear- Sometimes I let the “what ifs” keep me from doing things.
04. Reserved- I don’t usually speak about my emotions with people outside of my family and this often times keeps me from letting people in.
05. Perfectionist- I tend to be very hard on myself because I always want to do my best, this however, can cause stress because I am not always as good at something as I would like to be.
the series
11. Who is your favorite character in the Percy Jackson series? Probably Percy, I love his personality, sense of humor and experiencing all of his adventures with him.
12. Who is your least favorite character in the Percy Jackson series? Kronos. I know he wasn't invented for the series, but I just have a problem with people (or titans) eating their children and trying to take over the world.
13. If you could spend a day with one of the Percy Jackson characters, who would you choose and why? Tyson! He is so loveable! I really like how caring he is, and how he would do anything for Percy.
14. What is something you would change about the series? I would write more about May's life after Luke's death. I never really cared for how Riordan wrote about how Hermes felt but doesn't really tell anything about how it affected May.
15. What is something you would never change about the series? Percy's narration. That’s what kept me reading the books, also I love the pace of the books, something interesting happens in almost every chapter.

16. Pick a fictional character from any book/movie/tv show/etc. Which cabin would you place them in and more importantly why? Abigail Chase from National Treasure. I'd put her in the Athena Cabin. She's intelligent, focused, carries herself well and always thinks two steps ahead. She reminds of Annabeth.
16.Sort these words in order of appeal to you: beauty - glory - security - power - wealth - self-fulfillment - freedom. Explain your answer. Freedom- Security -Self-fulfillment - Glory - Beauty - Power - Wealth. I think that the first three kind of go together. If I feel free, that gives me a feeling of security, that I can handle things on my own. Being free and secure allows me to figure things out and gives me confidence to be who I think that I am supposed to be. Glory- (in my opinion) comes from accomplishing things and it’s hard to do that if you don’t know who you are or where you’re going. Beauty- it’s in the eye of the beholder, and I believe that it can be of either big or little importance, what it is to me is when I look at the people in my life and everything that I’ve been through, I consider everything good in my life to be beautiful. Power-hmmm… this one is kind of hard. I believe that’s it is important to have power over some things and not allow others to push you around and also be able to stand up when it’s necessary. Wealth- my family isn’t rich but we’re not poor either we’ve always had enough and that taught me that it doesn’t really matter how much money you have as long as you have good relationships with others and you have what you truly need then you’re wealthy, maybe not in the sense that some people would consider to be wealthy, but in the things that really matter.
17. Which god do you feel the least likeness towards? Ares, I think he’s just a big bully. I’m not into fighting when it’s not necessary.
