What is the most interesting or surprising thing about you, or that has happened to you.
My high school class voted me "Most Likely to Marry for Money"!!!
Are you the oldest, youngest or a middle child and what does that mean to you.
I am the middle child. I love it at times, but then I also hate it. I have an older sister who has 'broken my parents in' so they tend to be more lenient with me. Since I am the middle child, my younger sister tries to imitate me and it drives me nuts.

Name one person family, friend, celebrity, who has had the most influence on your life.
My older sister, Megan. I have looked up to Megan my whole life. She is a very self-motivated person who has helped me throughout my life to accomplish all of my goals and dreams. Megan is a very driven person who achieves excellence in whatever she does; she gives it her all and she enjoys life to the fullest. Since I am her little sister, I have followed her example in different situations throughout her education and personal life. Watching her has taught me to believe in myself and to know that I can achieve anything that I put my mind to.
