​My Best Feature:          

​​

My dimples. I smile a lot, which a lot of people like, and my dimples in a way punctuate a smile.



​​My Worst Feature:        



My feet.  Ballet and ballet shoes destroyed my feet. Now they are reminders of the physical pain that prompted me to stop ballet.



My Favorite Color:       


Grey. It may seem sad and depressing to some, but for me it symbolizes depth of reflection and perspective.

​Person I Admire:           

​​

I don't tend to admire famous people.  For me, it is important to get to know someone deeply in order to admire him or her.

​

Person Who Has Had an Influence on Me:   My Friends



​In What Way?:​
​

The way they see me and their reaction to me make me aware of my own qualities and issues.  Their interest in me surprises me, and is something I take great care to cultivate. I am proud of these relationships and want them to be proud of me, too. So I strive to meet their expectations and not disappoint them.  Their perception of me and the relationship that comes with it nurtures me and allows me to grow.



​​My Life's Philosophy:   ​​

​

​​Relationships are the most beautiful gift of life.

 

​​​Childhood Dream:  To live on stage as a ballet dancer
