Who is the most important person in your life and why?
I can't say just one person, but its a tie between my mom, and my best friend Katie. My mom is the world to me, and she is basically my best friend. I can talk to her about anything and she won't get mad at me. My best friend I have known since first grade, and her and I are basically the same person. Our other friends even associate us as Alexa/Katie, and we're pretty much attatched at the hip. I've never gotten into a fight with her. We have disagreements, but we never stay mad at each other for more than five minutes. I can tell her anything, and she will help me out with anything, and vice versa.
If you found out the world was ending tomorrow, what would you do today?
probably fly to Paris and take a picture with the Eiffel tower. Then throw a big party and die happy.
Do you like your coffee black? yes, just like my metal
Tell us about something you are passionate about, and why.
I'm very passionate about music. As you can tell, I do a lot in my life that has to do with music. I love writing my own songs, and playing them. I teach lessons, and I want to get my masters in music education so I can teach that, and regular elementary education. I love teaching it to kids, and I love learning new music theory facts daily. I love finding new bands, and new songs to appreciate as well. I can probably also tell you anything about any instrument because i've worked in a music store for 4 years, and all I do is sell supplies and instruments, sheet music, clean instruments and fix instruments. I love it and its a lot of fun.
