If you could change one thing about the world, what would it be? Whoa this is a tough one. To be perfectly honest, I don’t think I'd change anything. I don’t think I've had enough out side experience to really say. I've been stuck in my small, upper middle class town all my life and I like it. I know there are terrible problems out there in the world, like poverty, war and violence, but to my experience, I haven't found the one thing I'd change. But if I have to give an answer, I'd saw pollution. Though I don’t feel strongly on the issue, if we don't start taking care of our planet, where will we go?
What makes a person respectable? Someone who is nice, likes everyone, doesn't care what other people think and is always themselves. In a world of huge ego's it's hard to be yourself. With the pressure of having to be liked and being accepted, people are beginning to turn fake.
What do you look for in a friend? In a friend I look for someone who thinks the same way as me, is always there for me, cares for me and will support me in all that I do. Friends are the most important people in my life (aside from family.) I'm almost sure that if I didn’t have the loyal friends I do today, I just might not be here.
What are your hobbies? My hobbies include basically singing and the performing arts. Being onstage gives me a tremendous rush, and I love it. Acting and singing are a way to express myself. Some of my other hobbies are making jewelry, craft making, hanging out with friends and talking way too much. :)
Have or would you give time and money to a charity? Since I'm usually sort on cash, I've never really donated that much money to a charity, but the few times I have (mostly through school) its given me a feeling of accomplishment. I sincerely feel badly for those people who have less than me. It makes me feel sad that I can't help them more.
What is the one thing you would most like to accomplish? The one thing I would most like to accomplish is for filling my dream of becoming an actress. I really want to share my talent with the rest of the world and become a role model for people.
Who is your role model? My role model right now (aside from my parents) is Eleanor Roosevelt. She was a very brave woman who always stuck up for what she believed in. She never gave up on the things she started. Whenever I am sad about being rejected or have the feeling like I could have tried harder than I did, I remember Eleanor Roosevelt, and how she always stayed stronger.
What trait most annoys you about other people? People who think they're "all that." They're always up in your face about being better than you, or smarter than you. They feel like they can't be themselves, and to fit in they have to be perfect. I hate to break it to these people but no one is perfect.
What do you want to do for a living? Defiantly an actress. Like I said before, I live for the stage. It helps me be "one with myself" if you will. If I can’t be an actress, a screen writer would be fun. I want to be in charge of movies, be the one to write the story, and then see it the way I intended it.
If your friend was attacked (by a person, animal, or (in the magic world) beast), what would you do? Assuming that there's no one else around, I would probably find something like a stick or rock to hit the attacker over the head with. If that didn’t work, I might jump in myself, but since I've never been in that situation, I'm not sure if I would do that.
Would you ever use an Unforgivable Curse for any reason? No. Even if this person killed the most special person in my life, I do not believe that killing is the answer. Personally, I would rather this person have what they did haunt them for the rest of their life than kill them.
What do you think are your top five abilities or qualities?
1. Singing. I've been doing it for as long as I can remember. It’s just so much fun for me.
2. Acting. Though sometimes I don’t think I'm that great at it, it's a great way for me to get out how I feel, and just be myself.
3. Just having fun. In almost any situation, I can find a way to have fun. It doesn’t matter if it's taking out the trash, or cleaning my room, I always find a way to have fun with it.
4. Loyalty. Whenever a friend is in need, I'm there. I've never told a secret a friend has told me. I believe if you're not loyal, you can have friends.
5. My love of bright colors and funky patterns. You can tell just from the clothes people wear, their personalities. I adore bright and fun patterns, which means I'm a happy fun loving person
What do you think are your top five weaknesses or worst qualities?
1. I tend to judge others. Not that much, but I'll catch myself doing it all the time. I don’t mean to, it's kind of involuntary.
2. Hating my body. I'm a pretty self conscious person. I don’t really like the way I look, but hey, I make it work.
3. Having Rivalries. To me, it always seems likes there are always people standing in my way in every thing I try to do. Sometimes I find myself comparing myself to them and wanting to be better than them, and kind of hating them. I hate that I do that, but it's just how I am.
4. Procrastination. Let’s put it this way. I have a paper due tomorrow. I've known about it for a week. I've done the research but haven’t written any of it. That's the reason I came on line, and look what I'm doing now... :)
5. I can’t keep my room clean. My room is always a mess. I clean it (not totally I might add) and it's dirty then next day. I just can’t seem to keep anything clean.
Define in your own words the following key traits:
Courage: Being able to fight for what you believe in, even though you know it might be dangerous.
Loyalty: Showing, love, care and responsibility to those who are close to you.
Intelligence: The way you think. You don't have to get straight A's to be intelligent. It's what you’re good at.
Ambition: Having a drive to do you best in what you love.

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 don’t really have a preference.
