(no subject)
If you could change one thing about the world, what would it be?
I would get rid of crime. I know that's very broad but there are too many dangers in the world. I have children. It would please me to know that the world was safe for them.
What makes a person respectable?
Many different things make a person respectable. In my mind, a respectable person doesn't always think of themselves; they think of the people around them as well. On the other hand, they don't let those around them govern the way they act and feel. In short, if you worry about the feelings of others while successfully staying true to yourself, I would find you very respectable.
What do you look for in a friend?
Friendship is give/take. I look for someone that is willing to give as much as I am. You can't have a successful friendship if both parties aren't willing to give.
What are your hobbies?
KNITTING
I learned to knit because I desperately wanted a house scarf. While making that first scarf, I fell madly in love with it. Something about the yarn and the quiet click of the needles is relaxing. After a rough day, I can sit with those needles put on a HP movie and before it's over I'm at peace with myself.
READING
I've always used reading as a way to escape . . . a way to expand my imagination. Growing up, my childhood wasn't the best but I could sit with a book and forget it all. My books were kind of my home away from home.
Have or would you give time and money to a charity?
Yes. I have given to charities before and I would again. I fully believe that the little bit I can give will help someone. I believe that my little bit WILL make a difference. It's not only about what you give; sometimes, people just need to know that someone cares . . . that all hope isn't lost.
What is the one thing you would most like to accomplish?
More than anything, I'd like to raise my boys into respectable men. I want to give them the lives that I never had. I want them to believe in themselves above all others. I simply want to succeed at parenting.
Who is your role model?
My grandmother. My grannie found it within herself to climb over the many hurdles that blocked the path of her life. She died a very successful, loved woman. I want to be like that.
What trait most annoys you about other people?
I can't stand it when people are judgmental. I do believe that all people should be treated with respect. I believe that no one should be discriminated against. I was considered poor for most of my life . . . I hate it when someone looks down on you because you haven't had the same opportunities that they have.
What do you want to do for a living?
Right now, I'm a stay at home mom/student. I look forward to working in the medical field. I want to be able to help people. I want to give back to my community.
If your friend was attacked (by a person, animal, or (in the magic world) beast), what would you do?
I would fight for them. Whether it's physically or verbally . . . I will not stand by and watch anyone harm a friend. I have a very protective nature.
Would you ever use an Unforgivable Curse for any reason?
My first thought is "NO!" but when I look at the above question, I'm not so sure. If that was my only option . . . if there was no other way around it . . . yes, I would use an Unforgivable Curse.
