How do you feel about dying?

I’m afraid of dying . I’m afraid of the suffering that I would make my family and
friends go through. If I knew I was dying I would tell all the people I love that I
love them and do everything I’ve wanted to do.

What was changed your views on it?

Seeing people die was changed how I feel and it has made me see it in a different
perspective. Seeing people cry and suffer for their love ones.

make it suck.

What if today was your were your last day on earth?

I would try to enjoy it the most that I can, I would spend time with my family and
friends and try to tell them all I have to say them.

Are you happy with yourself and the person that you are? Explain why or why not,

I am happy with who I am but I have some things that I do not like about myself
such as I get mad really easy and I’m very fast to assume.

“ A teacher affects eternity ; he can never tell where his influence stops” – Henry
Adams

Meaning : It means that once you meet a teacher that has given you advice that
you actually take in to consideration their way of thinking never leaves you and you
always think in their perspective.

My experience: I always go to advice to my teacher Mr. Demodna even when I

don’t tell him what is going on in my life I think of it in the way he would.

If you can come back as anything, what would it be and why?

I would come back as tree, I would come back as a tree because I would get to live
for a long time and watch the world change around me seeing how grass grows
beneath me and the sun goes down and comes back up.

Describe your idea of perfect marriage? Do you want to get married? Why or why
not?

I don’t think there is such thing as a “perfect marriage” but things that make a
marriage an ideal marriage is fighting but knowing at the end day that night that all
those little fights won’t get the best of you but will only make you stronger.

“ people are only mean when they’re threatened.”

Agree or disagree and defend your position.

I agree I think if people feel so people are mean people they are either threated
or challenged by someone else and they react in that way so they don’t seem week.
