What is your definition of love?

"My definition of love is that it's a feeling you get instantly for the people you care about. When you feel love towards people they make you feel like you're at home. No matter what happens you'll always be there for them. Love is also a feeling that can't be forced but yet it can just magically appear without you knowing."

The purpose of forgiveness is...

"To let all of the hate and disappointment behind. Sometimes having to hold that in for a long time and it can make someone feel sad and confused. By being able to forgive it lets you release any horrible feelings and be back to how it once was. There are still things that can't be forgotten but being able to forgive is a start."

What sound or noise do you hate?

"Umm, how do you say it? Oh yeah, when people chew loudly; especially if they are doing it on purpose."

Why do you hate people chewing loudly?

"Well I mean, I guess it's just a pet peeve."

Who chews the loudest?

"Umm, that's a weird question but I mean I guess my brother because he does it on purpose."

What if someone can't help the way they eat?

"Then I would just not be near them."

Is this just a pet peeve with family or everybody?

"My pet peeve is with everybody."

What about when someone drinks loudly, do you hate that too?

"No, just chewing food. I don't know why I'm not disturbed by people drinking things, but with people chewing loudly, I can't stand it."

If you could change one thing from the past, what would it be? Why? How did this experience shaped you into the person you are today?

"The few times that I disrespected my parents and changed my attitude. Growing up and seeing them get older makes me sad and do wish to give them the best of the best. Not only because parents really give up everything for you, but also they are not eternal.

That experience has changed who I am now and also make sure to do things that they are proud of. I try my best to show my love for them and spend time with my parents when possible."
