Hello Caity! It's Alejandro. Got some questions for you to answer if you don't mind.
1. What was your favorite place to visit and why?
2. What are your biggest concerns in life?
3. If you could change one thing in the world, what would it be?
Thank you kindly.

Dear Alejandro,
'course i don't mind! let's see... i don't really have "a" favorite place. Haiwaii was enjoyable for it's colorful environment and inviting climate. All places European have appeal to me for their cultural background and old run-down castles and such. I remember perusing the stony ruins of a castle in Ireland and pretending i was some magical hero of old. i pretended that there were dragons and wizards around every craggy pillar... :) i've had some great trips to disneyland as well. Despite all the fun or mystery a place can hold, what really makes a place or trip memorable is who you're with. i think my two favorite trips would have to be one i took with my youth group to disney land because i got to know each of them so much better (it is the happiest place on earth). and then the band and choir trip i took last spring because i got to become friends with other people who have a passion for music. The highlight of that trip though, was definitely meeting Nathanial Garrod, who's now my boyfriend. BEST TRIP EVER!!!
my biggest concerns in life are fairly trivial, which is as it should be. i'm concerned about grades, family, keeping up with old friends and making new ones, trying to balance performing, reading, hobbies, and me time with all the demands of school. I would sum up my concerns as balancing life in general.
if i could change one thing in the world? maybe this is passive of me, but i wouldn't change anything which i can't already change. i know enough to know that i know nothing at all; i don't want to play god. it's why i don't make a good leader, i'm too hesitant of consequences, especially when they don't effect me specifically. i feel there is no way to live without offending someone, and i have enough grief taking responsibility for my own actions without adding an extra layer to the cake. i'll be the change i want to see in the world; that is, when i want to change the world then i will face my fear and face myself. in the mean time i will try to keep living in ways that aren't too destructive, helping where i can and being strong where i can't.
i hope this answered your questions and it's helpful in the article. write back in the next hour (by 9-ish) if you have any more to ask (i go to bed early for a teenager, do i not?) :)
