1.If you could make one rule that everyone in the world had to follow, what would it be?
I love the sound of someone’s voice that is speaking from their heart. They sound completely different than someone who has other motives. People who are passionate and compassionate speak in a completely different manner. It’s really neat that it’s something you can tell just from the way they speak.
2.If you could have any superpower, what would it be?
I would love to be a competitive eater. I love eating, but being able to eat as much as these competitive eaters do would be incredible. It would bring a whole new meaning to the phrase, “ALL YOU CAN EAT,” and believe me when I say I’d eat it all!
3.When do you feel a child or teen becomes an adult?
Being spontaneous- I love adventure, and know it’s lurking around every corner. I’m not afraid to try anything new or anything out of the blue for that matter. Taking risks, chances, and having fun is what creates unforgettable memories and experiences. It broadens horizons, and captures life’s true beauty.
4.What do you feel you have learned in life that will be the most useful?
I make plenty of mistakes, but I believe strongly in James Joyce’s words, “mistakes are the portals of discovery.” I consider it a blessing to make endless discoveries about myself, the world, and other people through my mistakes.
5.What do you feel is the hardest job in the world and why?
Potatoes. I am a true Idahoan with a devout love for potatoes: mashed, diced, baked, twice baked, fried, any way you make IDAHO potatoes, I will gladly eat them. I can even tell the difference between Idaho potatoes and those that are grown in other states.
