If you could change one thing about the world, what would it be?
If I could change one thing about the world, I think I would change people’s tolerance of each other. Everyone has the freedom of choice, and the freedom to like what they want, and dislike what they want, but when people act negatively on their preferences, it’s always a disaster. If people could just tolerate each other, and be polite and respectful, then people wouldn’t feel threatened by others, and stereotypes wouldn’t be so damaging. The world would be more harmonious and a better place.
What makes a person respectable?
I think that a respectable person treats others with respect. I think every human being deserves respect. I also think a respectable person is someone who’s not afraid to be different and be an individual.
What do you look for in a friend?
I look for someone that I can talk to and laugh with about nothing at all. They also need to be trustworthy, and honest. They would tell me when I’m being a brat, or when I’m being rude and things like that. We’d have fun together, but they’d also be able to sit down with me and just listen to me when I need to talk about something serious. They’d have values and morals. They’d be able to relate to me, and would accept me for who I am.
What are your hobbies?
My hobbies are mostly writing and music. I spend a lot of my time with my friends though. I couldn’t live without music, and I’m always listening to music constantly. I also play soccer, which makes me extremely happy. I’m always writing. I write short stories, poetry, whatever. I always have so many thoughts in my head, and they only seem to make sense when I write them down on paper, or when I type them. I just love writing about anything. I also love all kinds of art, but I have a soft spot for photography. I always carry a camera around. Sometimes I sketch things, but I’m not very good at it.
Have or would you give time and money to a charity?
Well I’m in a club at school that’s based on charity work. So, I’ve already given time to multiple charities. If I had a lot of money, of course I’d donate it to charity. I’d probably donate money to an AIDS or cancer charity. I’ve given money before to a charity called Invisible Children, that raises money to protect the children in Uganda from the civil wars going on there. Everyone should check it out.
What is the one thing you would most like to accomplish?
I’d just like to be happy with my life and who I am. I’m happy right now… but not totally content. I want to find out my purpose and reason for living… I want to feel totally content with my life. I want to be able to get the most that I can out of my life.
Who is your role model?
My role model is my grandfather. He was a prisoner of war in WWII, and he’s been through more in his life than anyone I’ve ever known. Even though he’s been through so much, he’s the most caring and loving person I’ve ever met, and he just amazes me. He has such a pure heart and spirit.
What trait most annoys you about other people?
Intolerance. I hate it when people don’t like someone or something, and have to always say something about it. Would it kill them to just be quiet about it? It annoys me to no end. And I also hate when people don’t like something, but don’t have a reason to back up their dislike. They just hate something to hate it. It’s illogical and stupid.
What do you want to do for a living?
I honestly don’t know right now. I’ve thought about it for an extremely long time, and I just don’t know. I guess it will come to me later. I can’t immediately think of something I’d want to be… I think I’d like to be a photographer, a writer, or something to do with music… but at the moment, I just don’t know.
If your friend was attacked (by a person, animal, or (in the magic world) beast), what would you do?
I’m not really sure, since I’ve never been in that situation, and I’m totally sure what I would do unless it really happened… I’d like to think I’d jump in front of them and protect them, but I just don’t know. I’m not big or strong. I’ve defended my friends many times verbally, but physically… I just don’t know. I’d probably act on instinct and try to jump in and save them, getting myself killed in the process… I make a lot of rash decisions.
Would you ever use an Unforgivable Curse for any reason?
I probably wouldn’t. I guess in a life or death situation, I would, but I’ve just never felt the urge to harm someone that badly. Maybe if someone that I loved was in serious danger I would use one, but I can’t think of any other situation where I would. I would never use the killing curse though.
What do you think are your top five abilities or qualities?
[x] Listening - I’ll always listen to my friends or even people I don’t know very well if they’re having problems or hard times in their lives. I know what it’s like to feel alone when you need someone to talk to, and I just hate the thought of other people having to experience that feeling too.
[x] Sense of humor - I love to laugh and it makes me feel great to make other people laugh. I always crack jokes and things to make the people around me smile.
[x] Tolerance - I’m always tolerant of everyone, and treat people with respect. I know how it feels to be unwanted somewhere, and I’d hate to make someone feel like that, even if I didn’t agree with them, or didn’t really like them.
[x] Way with words - People always say I have a really good way with words and writing. I’m good at saying what I think, and how I feel.
[x] Caring - I care and worry about so many things and people, it just drives me crazy sometimes.
What do you think are your top five weaknesses or worst qualities?
[x] My poor self-esteem - I just get really down on myself a lot of the time, and criticize myself to the point where I just get so sad and upset. I really need to work on it, and I’m much better than I used to be.
[x] Over thinking - I think about everything, all the time. That’s why I have to write my thoughts down so much all of the time, because I feel like my head will explode if I don’t get them out. I think about the purpose of my life, and why I wake up in the mornings and things like that, and I just think so much that it distracts me from other things.
[x] Procrastination - I do it all the time. There’s always something that needs to be done, and I constantly wait until the last second. I’m actually supposed to be doing homework right now. I just can’t manage my time and I hate living my life by deadlines.
[x] Too sensitive - I guess sensitivity can be a good thing, but I just let myself get too affected by things. I always feel bad for people when they have problems, to the point where it starts to affect my mood too. Sometimes, I just get random breakdowns. Or, I get way too emotional at movies and TV shows. It really sucks when you start crying at war movies at school and such.
[x] Absent-minded - I’m thinking about so many things, and I procrastinate so much that all these things I need to do just pile up in my mind, and I forget about everything. What I’m supposed to do, or where I leave things… it makes my parents really angry.
Define in your own words the following key traits:
Courage: Courage is finding the strength inside of yourself to stand up for what you believe in.
Loyalty: I think loyalty is always sticking by those that you love and care about, no matter what.
Intelligence: Intelligence isn’t just like book smarts and math equations and stuff. It’s also like wanting to learn more to succeed in life. It’s also accepting people and things for what they are, and being tolerant of others. It’s not being ignorant and judgmental. I hope that makes sense.
Ambition: Ambition is trying your hardest and using everything you have to achieve your goals and dreams. It’s having a direction in your life, and knowing what you want, and having the drive to do anything to get it.

What house do you think DOESN'T fit you? I mostly don’t mind where I’m put, I’d be happy with anything. I’m not really a Slytherin type though because I’m not very ambitious. I’m somewhat just floating along through life without any direction.
