What is the most interesting or surprising thing about you, or that has happened to you?
I have a lot of "blonde moments," but I am actually a really smart person. Surprise, surprise!
Are you the oldest, youngest or a middle child and what does that mean to you?
To me, being an only child means being able to be closer to my family and also learning to be more independent. By being an only child, I have learned to become responsible for my actions and I have also been given many opportunities.
