Application
If you could change one thing about the world, what would it be? I definitely think that I would get rid of all the lying that goes on in the world. I myself am a very honest person, and I don't really see the point in lying to people. And I've been hurt by lies many times, and it's not fun, and no good ever comes from lying because 99.9% of the time the lies come out, and that's always messy and never fun.
What makes a person respectable? Honesty. That's a big one for me. If you're an honest person, then you've got my respect. A person is also respectable in my eyes if they're caring and they truly care about their friends and their family.
What do you look for in a friend? Someone who I can easily get along with, someone who is easy to open up to. And again, honesty and caring come into play again here.
What are your hobbies? Graphics & Web Design, Music, Movies, and Theatre. Those are my major hobbies. I also enjoy photography, I tend to always have my camera with me if I'm going out somewhere with my friends.
Have or would you give time and money to a charity? Well I'm not rolling in dough, so I'd probably donate more of my time than my money. But if I HAD the money, I would most definitely give to charity.
What is the one thing you would most like to accomplish? Finish schooling, getting hopefully the best education that I can and get a great job someday.
Who is your role model? Probably my mom or my grandfather. They've both been through a lot in their lives and they've both turned out as amazing people who I look up to immensely.
What trait most annoys you about other people? Bragging. Can't stand it. At all. It's one thing to be proud or happy for what you have, but people who brag about what they have to make themselves look better and to put others down is just annoying. Simply annoying.
What do you want to do for a living? Something with computers. I used to say that I wanted to be a famous actor, but I doubt that that will happen, and I spend a lot of time on the computer, and I like to think that I'm good with computers, so that's probably the field that I'll get into.
If your friend was attacked (by a person, animal, or (in the magic world) beast), what would you do? I'd defend them to the best of my ability to make sure that they were protected as much as possible. My friends are so important to me, and I'd never want anything to happen to them.
Would you ever use an Unforgivable Curse for any reason? I don't really know. Honestly, I think it would depend on the situation. I'd never use one to purposely hurt or kill an innocent person, but if it came down to saving a friend or family member, and there was nothing else to do except use an Unforgivable Curse, I might have to do it. No matter what the consequences, like I said above, my friends are so important to me, and so is my family, so I'd do anything to protect them from harm.
What do you think are your top five abilities or qualities? 1. I'm a good listener. Or at least I think I am. I mean, I can vent with the best of them, but I always tell my friends that if they ever need someone to talk to, I'm always there. And I mean that, I would listen to and be there for my friends or family no matter what the circumstance.
2. I have a good sense of humor, most of the time. There are some things that just aren't funny to me, but I'm easily amused, and I laugh a lot when I'm in a good mood.
3. People in my family always tell me that I'll make a really great father someday, so I guess that's a plus. I'm not big on other people's children outside of my family's, but I definitely want to have kids of my own someday.
4. I'm pretty self-sufficient most of the time. I think if I ever had to be on my own or live by myself, I'm pretty certain that I could take care of myself.
5. I read a lot and my mom always says that reading works out your brain and makes you smarter, so I'm definitely not stupid. But I like to think that the fact that I enjoy reading so much is something special because most of my friends that are my age hate reading and shun books.
What do you think are your top five weaknesses or worst qualities?
1. I'm sensitive. Sometimes too sensitive. I let stuff get to me easily sometimes, when I really know that I shouldn't. It's definitely one of my weaknesses.
2. When people do me wrong, I tend to have a hard time getting over it and letting things go. I also think it depends on the situation. But yea..
3. I'm loud. Maybe that's not a bad thing, but it was when I was younger and it still is occasionally now. A lot of people say that I'm probably ADHD, I've never been tested for it, but my loudness gets me into trouble from time-to-time.
4. I speak my mind as well. I'm not afraid to voice my opinion at the drop of a dime, and that gets me into trouble from time-to-time as well. Sometimes I voice my opinion at the wrong time without really thinking about what I'm saying.
5. I get attached to people easily. Now don't mistake this for me being clingy, I'm definitely not that, at all. But I've gotten attached to people and then found out that they didn't feel the same for me. So that's not a plus.
Define in your own words the following key traits:
Courage: Courage to me is being brave and not being afraid to stand up for others and stand up for what you believe in.
Loyalty: Caring about your loved ones and being aware of their feelings. I guess to put it bluntly, 'not screwing people over.'
Intelligence: I don't think intelligence should be based on how much schooling you have, or where you went to school, etc, etc. My grandfather had to drop out of highschool to help his parents take care of their farm, and yet he's one of the smartest people I know.
Ambition: I think ambition is your goals, and going for the goals no matter what it takes.
