If you could change one thing about the world, what would it be? It’s just kind of erks me how America can rush to help all the “3 world counties” with all their problems when we have so many to deal with ourselves. I think for a couple decades we should deal with our own problems such as poverty, the national dept, corrupt politics and just a major “spring clean”. After that is all done and we are on our feet then we should go out and help other countries.
What makes a person respectable? I think respect is gained by being a truthful, knowledge, and being able to admit when you are wrong. I’m not the kind of person who will respect someone just because they have a enough position. I think people who try their hardest and don’t really sugar-coat or cover up certain things deserve respect. I also respect when a person knows they are wrong and need help and aren’t afraid to ask for it.
What do you look for in a friend? I look for similar personality, similar likes and charisma. But truth be told my best friend is about my complete opposite but we have killer charisma. I like people who are forthright and upfront.
What are your hobbies? I play fast pitch softball and have for about 10 years now. I’ve recently gotten into the paintball scene which is awesome! I love going out there and playing with the big boys because where I play you usually don’t see to many girls out there and if you do they are wearing all the protectors and still kind of wussy-ish. I like to cook which my boyfriend loves. Reading is a big one on my list but I have to be in to a book to enjoy it. Like when I tried to read “Rebecca” by Daphne Du Maurier I couldn’t get past page 6 because it just wasn’t interesting to me.
Have or would you give time and money to a charity? Yeah I’ve done the charity thing. For about 5 years I was in a youth group that did the habitat for humanity thing and would spend time in local retirement homes but I was never really into it. I know that sounds bad but I just did it because after we would get done with something we would have either a party or go to carowinds (the local amusement park). But I think of this it this. I did something good for the community for a different reason and got something out of it in the end. Just because I did it for gain doesn’t cancel out that it was a good deed. or does it?
What is the one thing you would most like to accomplish? Just to do something great in life. I want to be that person invented the chip clip or something. Because think about it. All you have to do is have one stupid idea that just might work. Patent and produce it and be a millionaire. And I would also like to be able to graduate in June with close a 4.0 g.p.a. and be accepted into my first choice college for next fall.
Who is your role model? My role model would have to be my grandmother. She has went through a lot in her life and never really gave up. She’s stuck to her faith (which I haven’t done a couple of times in hard times) and always helped other people even if all she had in the world was a pot to pee in. It’s crazy because if I had been in her shoes I’d be a wreck and nothing close to what she is today.
What trait most annoys you about other people? I hate with a passion label whores. And by that I mean the girls and guys who spend outrageous amount of money just because it has printed a certain name or tag on it. Like it makes me so mad when you see those girls walking around in ripped up jeans that they just bought ripped up and paid 200 bucks for. Hey if you want to pay 200 bucks for a pair of ripped up jeans give me a 20 and I’ll buy a new pair of jeans, wear um a couple months and make sure I ride my horse in um, not wash them and give um back. Because I am not afraid to admit I buy second hands clothes. See you’ll buy those jeans brand new for 50 bucks, wear them 5 or 6 times, get tired of them and take them to consignment. Then I’ll go buy the exact same jeans for 10 buy 4 more pairs and have 5 pairs of broken in jeans and some cash to spare. Not 50 bucks down the drain.
What do you want to do for a living? I want to be a k-3 teacher. Because those teachers are nothing more than glorified baby sitters and you get more benefits. And little kids are so cool. You could tell them dirt taste like chocolate and they would go eat a handful. But really…. lol. Just the fact of taking a young mind and starting it off with the basic knowledge for living and watching it grow is amazing. I actually keep up with my kindergarten teacher and see her every once and a while and she’s amazed that I went from that little mean girl on the play ground that kicked boys in the balls and ran around throwing rocks and dirt at people to the girl I am today with the 3.78 gpa and the long team boyfriend.
If your friend was attacked (by a person, animal, or (in the magic world) beast), what would you do? See if I could do anything to help him/her without getting myself hurt. And if not if I’d be like upps I’m sorry better luck time and be outta there.
Would you ever use an Unforgivable Curse for any reason? Yeah I would. If someone was like trying to kill me or the few close to me I would do it in a heart beat. OR and it’s a big or a person was getting on my nerves and I just felt like being mean.
What do you think are your top five abilities or qualities? Leader, Charismatic, I work well under pressure, Loyal to a select few, and I’m pretty strong willed and I’m pretty good with a bow staff hahah just kidding. Just finished watching that movie
What do you think are your top five weaknesses or worst qualities? Very vindictive, When I see personal gain I will go for it, Brutally blunt to the point of being called cold hearted numerous times, two faced, and I’m very bad with procrastinating but that’s why I work so well under pressure
Define in your own words the following key traits:
Courage: Courage is the ability to go into a situation knowing the risks and the possible outcomes and pouring your heart into it without even thinking twice.
Loyalty: Loyalty is knowing where your ties are. Have certain people that you will do anything for without personal gain and without betraying them at all costs.
Intelligence: Intelligence is not only being smart , it’s being smart on a variety of subjects and knowing when to use it. I also think intelligence is realizing when you’re wrong and making steps towards correcting it.
Ambition: Ambition is striving for the best and never settling.
Name: Marissa
Age: almost 17
What house do you think DOESN'T fit you? (This question is optional for those who feel they just DO NOT fit in a house. Please explain WHY.) I really don’t believe I would fit well into a Ravenclaw house. They seem a bit more studious than I am. They kind of are the “over-achievers” (which is not an insult to anyone) of the four houses. They are a bit more bookish than I am. I mean I wish I could be like that but if the subject doesn’t interest me I’ll just lack in it all year.
