1.If you could make one rule that everyone in the world had to follow, what would it be?
“Inspired.” Realizing the importance of setting a positive example for others is something that motivates me to be my personal best. My mother’s battle with breast cancer left me “inspired” because she displayed courage and strength even on the worst of days. I hope to inspire others through my actions.
2.If you could have any superpower, what would it be?
Moisturize and hydrate…..you can never have enough water! Water transports the necessary nutrients and oxygen while removing toxins. So, drink at least 8 eight ounce glasses of water daily to maintain a healthy balance. After all, a healthy body is a confident body!
3.When do you feel a child or teen becomes an adult?
I am proud of my ability to communicate effectively with people from all walks of life. From a very early age, my parents instilled in me the importance of being able to talk with a myriad of people. Regardless of the differences people may have, everyone has something to offer.
4.What do you feel you have learned in life that will be the most useful?
Sunday is my “day of rest.” I love spending Sunday afternoons with my family when we can just enjoy the company of one another. I believe it is important to make time for the important things in life and FAMILY is the most important to me!
5.What do you feel is the hardest job in the world and why?
I feel that we make our own luck. If you want good things to happen to you, you need to make good things happen to others. The decision is each of ours…. Will we depend upon a legend or create luck ourselves by performing acts of kindness and goodness?
