Day 21.
I miss when people weren't so drama filled. People, girls especially, chose to make everything about themselves or a huge deal. Life isn't meant to be drama filled.

Mainstream Music
Day 20.
Honestly, I don't listen to much mainstream music. I like to listen to artists that aren't as popular. However, I'm not totally against mainstream music.

Education
Day 19.
Education is the root to most things in life. It takes you where you want to go and sets you up to face whatever life throws at you. You can establish better jobs, support a family, and reach out to help others in the process. So how important do I think that education is? Important beyond belief.

Earliest Memory.
Day 18.
This is quite difficult because I'm not totally sure where my memory starts. I guess on early memory would be learning to ski. I remember finding it quite difficult but having a blast nevertheless.

Favorite Movie.
Day 17.
If I was asked what my favorite movie was, I probably coulodn't tell you. I have too many. One that comes to mind though is The Notebook. I've seen it at least 30 times and it never gets old. No lies, I'm a sucker for love stories but this one has more of a reality to it. It shows that love has to be fought for, you can't give up on it, no matter how hard it gets.

Dinner with Someone in History.
Day 15.
If I was to sit down to have a dinner with someone from history, it would have to be Franklin D. Roosevelt. He brought our country through many struggles and we were victorious. I would love to listen to the experiances that he personally went through and to what we would eat, well that would be up to him, afterall, how many times would you get to have dinner with someone who is already dead?

Superpowers.
Day 14.
A superpower that I would absolutley love to have would be the ability to be invisible. There is such a feeling of power to be able to do something or be somewhere that no one knows.

Childhood Memories.
Day 13.
One- A childhood memory that will always stick with me is going to York Beach every summer for a few days with the whole family. Since I have such a big family, those moments were precious and memorable.
Two- Another memory that I have from my younger days was taking swimming lesson. I didn't really like them but my mom always forced me to go but I don't think that they paid off because I'm still not a very good swimmer.
Three- Lastly, a childhood memory would be going to Burke Mountain. I started skiing from age three and continued until I was nine. Ever since then, I've snowboarded.

Something I wish I was great at.
Day 12.
If I had to chose one thing that I could excel at, it would have to be singing. I think that people that have melodious voices are so talented and being able to share that quality would be amazing.

If I was an animal...
Day 11.
If I was an animal, I'd have to say that I would chose to be a dolphin. Dolpins are animals that aren't hated and have lots of friends. They are playful and know how to have fun. And plus, they're cute. ;)

5 Strengths that I have.
Day 10.
One. I think being humorous is a trait that I possess.
Two. I have been told that I am very intuitive and I feel that that is true.
Three. Snowboarding is something that I'm not bad at.
Four. Reading is something that comes naturally for me.
Five. Running. I'm not crazy about it but it's something I'm not terrible at.

Five Weaknesses of Mine.
Day 9.
One. Chocolate. Who doesn't have that as a weakness?
Two. Shoes. A girl can never have enough. Ever.
Three. Having a short attention span.
Four. Procrastination. Sometimes things just need to be put off for a little while.
Five. Over thinking things. Sometimes one comment can be overanalyzed WAY too much in my head.

Embarrassing Moment.
Day 8.
It's not that I don't get embarrassed alot, because believe me, I do. It's just that usually they are not THAT embarrassing so they usually don't stick with me. However, after much thought, I came up with one. One Sabbath last winter I was at church and for some reason I was running late, so being in a hurry, I started running. If you know me very well then you're going to know that I wear heels every possible chance I can and so of course I was wearing them that day. So if you put running in heels and Vermont in the winter time, you are going to come up with lots of ice. And I'm sure you get the picture. I don't recall ever slipping and falling that hard & in front of so many people. Gotta love those moments.

Passions of Mine.
Day 7.
un. Making others happy. After all, what's better than surrounding yourself with happy people?
deux. Snowboarding. What's better than whipping down a mountain, carefree? Nothing.
trois. Kids. Since I plan on becoming an elementary teacher when I emerge into college, I have always had a soft spot for them. The things they say and the way they act just is fascinating and catching.
quatre. Cooking. There's just something addicting to making the perfect dish and the satisfaction of it coming as you planned.

Dream Job.
Day 6.
For me, planning things has always been a passion. I love throwing parties or just planning little things that would make peoples day. There is a thrill or an adrenaline rush in the smile they get that lights up there face. So, if planning peoples day or events is a job, sign me up. ASAP.

Hardest Experience.
Day 5.
When asked what the hardest thing that I have ever been through, one thing instantly comes to mind. Nate Stoll's death. Nate was a former student of Central Vermont Academy, my sister's best friend, and someone that I looked up to. He was killed in a motorcycle accident coming from his hometown in Maine to our home but his journey ended only eight miles from our house. Nate was the kind of guy everyone loved. He was outgoing, beyond hilarious, and most importantly, he loved God and that love was shown by him at all times. His life was ended when it had only been going for 22 short years. He should not have died but there was a reason that only God knows. May 23rd will make it two years since his death but I know that I will see him in heaven and that gives hope to all that love and miss him greatly. We just have to be sure we are there to meet him.

Places I Would Like to Visit:
Day 3.
There are two places that I would love to visit, one being a totally new one and the other being one that I have been before. The first is Italy. I have always wanted to go to Italy since I was little. There is something about the pictures that you see that are taken in Italy that make you want to experiance it on your own. I'm not sure if its the bright blue of the sea or some of the oldest ruins in the world that make you want to jump on the first plane, Rome bound.
The second place is like I said earlier, a place I have already had the privilage of going to, that being Gibraltar. It also had a gorgeous sea but this time I got to experiance it firsthand. The weather seemed perfect and since they are English speaking, that's always a plus. Returning to Gibraltar is something very high on my "Things to do Before I Die" list.

Fears of Mine
Day 2.
The first fear that comes to my mind is my fear of snakes. I used to not being around them but about eight years ago, I was with my mom while she was landscaping, just waiting for her to finish up her work so we could go home. While waiting I decided to help her, so I started weeding around this very large bush. All of the sudden at least twenty snakes came slithering out. ( I did not exagerate when I said there was twenty of them!) So for a child of eight years old, that was pretty traumatizing and I can't say I have ever fully recovered.
The second fear that I have is the dark. I'm sure that that is a fairly common one but also a very frightening one. The dark just masks the things that could be scary and since you can't see them, you don't know what is lurking about.
Lastly, the fear that I have is failure. I know that you cannot succeed one hundred percent of the time, no one can. However, the thought of failing isn't one that settles well with me. Perhaps sometimes I try too hard or other times not hard enough, but I want to succeed in life. From making my friends happy to trying my hardest in things that I feel that I struggle with, they must be the best that I can be.
