___________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Introduction In this post, I will provide answers to the The Proust Questionnaire. This is the first blog post I am writing for my English 100 course, and I think my answers will provide my readers with insight to who I am, what my beliefs consist of, and how I view the world. __1.__What is your idea of perfect happiness? [insert a sentence or two to answer the question]. My idea of perfect happiness is being on a beach in the middle of summer with my toes in the sand and eating an ice cream from the fudgy wudgy man(preferably a choco taco). The feeling of my toes in the burning hot sand and my skin roasting in the sun brings me unending happiness. __2.__What is your greatest fear? I have two things that I am terrified of, first one being snakes. I am always scared a snake is going to bite me or attack me and be poisonous. My other fear is that I'm not good enough, whether it is in athletics, academics or anything else I'm scared I won't be good enough to please people. __3.__What is the trait you most deplore in yourself? One trait I most deplore in myself is how uptight I am and how I always have to be on a schedule and can take everything serious. I believe this takes the fun out of things but it is who I am and I can't change it. __4.__What is the trait you most deplore in others? The trait I most deplore in others is not being able to be flexible. I do not like when people stick to their own time and are unable to change it for other people. __5.__Which living person do you most admire? The person I most admire is my grandma for many reasons. To me she is the strongest person I know because she lost my grandpa at a young age to cancer and since she's been able to find happiness in other ways to enjoy life. __6.__What is your greatest extravagance? My greatest extravagance was my 18 day trip to Spain and Portugal I attended this summer with 50 of my classmates. We traveled Europe and discovered a brand new culture that has opened my mind and heart to many things. __7.__What is your current state of mind? My current state of mind is stressed and packed. With the beginning of the school year I am always stressed on how I will manage my classes and be able to work and participate in sports all at the same time. __8.__What do you consider the most overrated virtue? The most overrated virtue to me is fairness, I believe that people who expect things to be given to them are unreasonable. I think that everyone should have to work for what they earn and fairness is getting what you deserve. __9.__On what occasion do you lie? I only lie when it is meant to protect someone from being hurt or to keep myself out of trouble. __10.__What do you most dislike about your appearance?

I most despise my manager Jim from Ridley Park Swim Club. When we work with him he is very unreasonable and angry and makes everyone do stuff they do not want to do. __12.__What is the quality you most like in a man? The quality I most like in a man is when he is very old school like and still has old school characteristics. It is very considerate when a man holds the door open for you, buys you flowers, and offers to help with everything. __13.__What is the quality you most like in a woman? I find it very nice when woman have respect for themselves and are independent. Woman shouldn't need a man to feel good about themselves and should love themselves. __14.__Which words or phrases do you most overuse? I most overuse the phrase "I don't care" because I always wanna make sure that other people are happy so I would rather them make the decision so they are doing something they like. __15.__What or who is the greatest love of your life? The greatest love of my life is all sweets. I have such a big sweet tooth and I love chocolate, cookies, and especially ice cream. __16.__When and where were you happiest? I was most happiest on June 22, 2017 when I was in Tarragona which is located in Spain. We swam in the Mediterranean Sea and the water was crystal clear and it was the happiest I have ever been. __17.__Which talent would you most like to have? Ever since I was little I have wished that I could sing. I am always so jealous of people who aren't tone deaf and can sing beautifully. __18.__If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be? One thing I wish I could change about myself is to be less uptight and to be more flexible. I want to be more easy going and be able to change quickly and enjoy myself more. __19.__What do you consider your greatest achievement? I recieved an award at cheerleading camp called "pin it forward" and it is given to honor people who show kindness and help everyone out. This was a big achievement for me because it made me realize that I can help people and I have done some good. __20.__If you were to die and come back as a person or a thing, what would it be? If I were to come back I would love to be a bird in my next life. I would love to be able to fly and see the world from a different viewpoint. __21.__Where would you most like to live?
