Questions
6. What career are you in or looking to be in? What are you doing right now to help you achieve this career goal?
Well, the plan for now is to teach English as a Second Language, although it's likely that over the course of my life I will have changed jobs many times. I really don't see myself settling into one career for my whole life. Currently, I'm in grad school getting my education degree, and I already have a degree in Spanish. I really just want to travel. I'd love to teach during the school year in the U.S. and then just disappear to work with some sort of volunteer program during the summers in South America.
7. What is your friendships like with both genders? How many good friends do you have and why are you friends with these people?
This is the first time in my life that I have ever had more girl friends than guy friends. I get along well with either, but males are typically easier to deal with and more fun to talk to. My best friend (female) is also an ISTJ, and we're so similar it's almost scary at times. All my female friends are very low-maintenence and really down-to-earth types of girls. I probably have 5 people that I would trust with my life. I'm extremely picky with who I allow to get close to me, and those 5 people have met some crazy-high criteria. Amazingly, each of them are all different types. Each one of them has something different to offer, and have certain awesome qualities that I admire in them. I learn a lot from my friends.
8. What paranoias do you have?
Hmm I'm not really paranoid about anything, but there are times I wish I could open up more to people and just tell them how I feel. I do posess feelings, rather deep ones, it's just that it's hard to get those feeling out sometimes.
9. What are your vices?
Keylime pie...
10. What are your fears?
Eh, everything works itself out in time. When it boils down to it, fear and worrying are a waste of time.
11. What is your relationship like with your parents?
I have a good relationship with my dad, although as I grow older we seem to butt heads every once in awhile (since being in grad school I have become more liberal in my beliefs, and he's pretty conservative...wanna see us fight? Bring up the topic of illegal immigration.) But eh, he's very intelligent and a good mental sparring partner, and I have more respect for him than probably anyone else in the world. My mom on the other hand, we are like oil and water. I don't know her type, but we literally have nothing in common. We're polite enough on the surface.
12. How are you with expressing emotion in public?
I'm pretty stoic at all times.
13. How do you think people saw you in high school? How do you think people see you now?
I played sports, was quiet, friendly, and reasonably smart. I just floated by and was pretty neutral toward everyone except my 2 good friends. Nowdays, people probably see me as about the same, perhaps wittier (sp?)and I have been working on being more outgoing, and it's becoming easier with age.
14. What do you see as the point to your life and life in general?To live a life that is pleasing to God. To use my God-given gifts and talents to benefit others in some way. To be an encouragement and to lead others by example. To enjoy and not squander the life I have been given. To make people laugh and to be a good friend. To honor the committments I have made. Ideally, to carpe diem todos los dias!
