(this girl is on top of everything. after accepting my offer to answer the "big three" questions. she took the time to actually think through and hand-write her response. usually i don't let people think. i want the moment! however in full respect to her efforts and passion, i leave this one unedited and unaltered!)

1. living is learning and appreciating. each day that we live is a gift that not everyone apprectiates. each day is a new opportunity to get better, to grow, to not dwell on yesterday, to not be trapped by my own ego, and to discover that, thanks to God, there is always still so much to learn and give. because what you don't give, you lose. that difficulties that i encounter help me to value even more the small details and pleasures of life: a sunrise, a song, a child's hug, the strings of the guitar between my fingers, the sound and smell of rain, the music from a piano, a kiss, a good conversation, etc. You have to enjoy where you are--all while moving towards where you want to go. Carpe diem without losing sight on your destiny.
2. to change hearts. life is way too short to miss out on love. to put a little bit of hope in each heart that has lost the excitement to live. and especially to give each child on earth a father and a mother that loves them, takes care of them, educates them, protects them and tells them stories. all children should receive the example of their parents as their inheritence.
3. to make a home--bringing together all the people i love and be a witness in their lives. love hopes through everything--and never stops.
