If you had a free day with no responsibilities and your only mission was to enjoy yourself, what would you do?

What’s your idea of a good marriage? Do you think that’ll happen in your life?
My parents are still together after 28 years so I’ve had great role models for marriage. I think communication and honesty are very important. I really hope it does happen for me.

Working for the MMC when I know what they are capable of.
Do you think you’ve turned out the way your parents expected?

What’s the worst thing that’s happened in your life?
Nothing extremely terrible has happened to me in my life. I have been very fortunate.

Are you lying to yourself about something? What is it?
