• Answers to TheCheshireGrins’ Questions

  TheCheshireGrins gave me these questions:

  1. If you could travel any place in the world, where would you go?
  
  2. Who is your favorite person and why?
  
  3. Who are your role models in life?
  
  4. What is your greatest goal in life?
  
  5. What do you see yourself doing in ten years?

  She also gave me these rules:

  Here’s the Deal (Rules)
  
  1.  Leave a comment saying you want to be interviewed.
  2.  I will respond by message asking you five questions.
  3.  You’ll update your journal with my five questions, as well as your five answers.  Remember to tag me so I can read it.
  4.  You’ll include this explanation.
  5.  You’ll ask other people if they want to be interviewed by you.

  Here are my answers:

  1. If you could travel any place in the world, where would you go?

  I eventually want to travel all over the world, but if I had to pick only one place I would say Japan.  There’s seem to be so much stuff to do and see over there!  I would absolutely want to be in the audience for one of those crazy Japanese game shows!  Of course, Tokyo would be my first destination if I ever visited Japan.

  2. Who is your favorite person and why?

  To be honest, I have a really hard time answering this question because I don’t really have an absolute favorite.  I generally have a good group of people that I trust and count on, but I don’t have any one person that I absolutely admire the most.  I suppose whenever I find an amazing significant other I would say she is my favorite person, but until then I’ll just have to give this answer for now.

  3. Who are your role models in life?

  Another tough one!  There are probably quite a few people I could say that I look up to in my real life, such as my old high school tennis coach.  However, the first two people that came to mind were people I’ve never met, but really admire.

  The first person is Will Smith, the actor.  He seems like a genuinely good person that loves his family and life.  He’s a very likable person too.  I think I would be pretty happy if people saw me in the same light as him.

  The second person is Rafael Nadal, the tennis player.  He’s around my age, yet has accomplished so much more than I could ever dream of!  He’s an extraordinary tennis player that I would love to emulate, especially since we’re both left handed.  What stands out the most is his character.  He has such a strong mentality on the court and very rarely will you see him upset.  Off the court, he’s very respectful and humble.  Tennis is very lucky to have such a respectful person at the top of the game.

  P.S. I wouldn’t mind having Nadal’s guns either, aka his massive arms that no tennis player really should have.  He claims he doesn’t work out either…whatever!

  4. What is your greatest goal in life?

  I’m not really sure if I have that figured out yet.  I guess if I have to say something right now, I would like to be able to leave a legacy or something that people will remember me long after I’m gone.  It would be pretty cool to see how much I can influence the world around me as well as the people I’ve had a chance to contact. 

  5. What do you see yourself doing in ten years?

  In ten years, I’ll be 33 years old 0_0 .  By then, I expect to be married to the woman I’ve been searching for all my life.  I’ll probably like some mini-Alexes running around by that time.  Not sure if I’ll stay in Maryland, although I don’t think I’ll have a big problem with it if I do.  I’m pretty sure I’ll still be living in the United States, possibly even Canada.  Ideally, by this time I’m either a successful industrial/organization psychologist or a very important person working with the USTA (United States Tennis Association).

  Alright your turn to let me know if you want me to ask you some questions!  Just let me know and I’ll send you a message soon with my questions for you.  I’ll try to give you some good ones
