#12 What would happen if you loved your neighbor as yourself? What if everyone did?

If I loved my neighbor as myself, I would be the most wonderful person in the world. There would be no talking about your neighbor in a bad way. If everyone loved their neighbor there would be no wars and problems between people and nations. The world would be a peaceful place. I think that if we all start accepting and working out our problems in a responsible way we would help the world. The world would be at least 90% peaceful.

#11 What is your favorite holiday? What makes this holiday special?

My favorite holiday is Thanksgiving. I like this holiday because we spend time with family we haven't seen in a long time. We all eat together and talk about things that have happened in the past or things we are looking forward in the future. Thanksgiving is the day we cook a lot. Everyone cooks something special for dessert. This is the only holiday i don't like eating out at a restaurant. Every year we celebrate it at our house or my brother or sister's house.

#10 Why is it important to have good manners?

I think its important to have good manners for many reasons. First of all if your going to a job interview you want to make a good impression on the person that's going to hire you. Manners say many things about how the person is. If your about to meet your husband's or wife's family you want them to think your a good choice for their daughter/son because if you treat them without manners they'll think that's how your going to treat their son/daughter. Manners and respect make the worst person become the best in the eyes of the people.

#9 Which place would like to visit the most? why?

The place I would like to visit the most is Greece. Its so beautiful there. Its an old looking place in many parts. I like Greece because its like getting a glimpse of old days, the roads and buildings are ancient. I would like to see Mystras which is a medieval castle built in the year 1249. What makes Greece my choice is also the great islands and sea tourism available. The landscapes are really pretty and peaceful.

#8 When was the last time you cried and why?

The last time I cried a lot that I can remember was a year and a half ago. My one in a half year old nephew was diagnosed with a cancerous tumor engulfing his whole right kidney. That was the time I cried the most because the doctor said the tumor was a stage 3 which is the second highest level of a tumor. On that stage the patient has a least chance of getting better. However when the tumor was taken to a more advanced lab to be studied; the tumor was no longer screened cancerous. My nephew received chemotherapy and radiations for about 8 months. It was the hardest thing watching him relapse and lose his hair. Now he's all better and still goes to check ups.

#7 Describe the best teacher you ever had.

The best teacher I have ever had would be Mrs. Olavaria. She was my second grade teacher. Mrs. Olavaria was such a nice person she never lost her temper. When she had to leave to have her baby we were so sad. Our substitute was so mean. One day she grabbed Damien by the arm and left him a really red bruise. When Mrs. Olavaria came back we were so happy. When I go to Chicago on a weekday I go visit her, and she still remembers me.

#6 I wish I had a million...Then I would...

I wish I had a million exotic flowers of every color and shape. I would be so happy for a long time. Then I would have a garden beautifully designed for all those flowers. I love flowers especially the ones that don't originate in the U.S. I think flowers are beautiful and they are part of nature and we should appreciate their beauty as best we can. Many people love flowers but then again some don't like them. My favorite flower is the orchid.

#5 How do you feel on a warm sunny day?

On a warm sunny day I feel so relaxed. When the day is that pretty I feel like I can let go of the worries I might have. I really admire nature and aprreciate it because all the flowers are bloomed and they add a splash of color to my thoughts. When you breathe in the fresh air its so refreshing you can smell the flowers and the leaves. On those warm sunny days I give thanks for feeling so calm.
