How have you changed in the last 5 years?
- Besides the physical appearance (the nose ring , the gauges, and everything else), I think that I have significantly grown as a person. Most people wouldn’t know it, but I wasn’t always as confident in myself. Which is weird because I motivate you guys to be confident, but I lacked it. I guess motivating you guys helped me see that I needed to be more confident in myself. That’s something that I really worked on: being more confident. Being able to speak in front of people and all of that.
1. If you could describe yourself as a pair of shoes, which would it be and why?
- I wouldn’t go with a name brand but more a type of shoe. I would probably say I’m like a good running shoe. I know that’s kind of cheesy because I’m a track coach, but I say a running shoe because there are various uses to it. You don’t just use it to run. People wear running shoes to go out. They also work out in them. They’re multifaceted.
If there was one thing you’d want people to know about you, what would it be?
- It would kind of go back to the point I made before about me not being as confident as a person. I think that in life we have to aspire to grow as people. I think that I’ve grown a lot in the past few years of my life. I’m definitely more comfortable in my own skin. It’s really important to be comfortable in your own skin, but more importantly be willing to change, grow, and evolve. Evolution is part of life. It’s something that will happen whether you like it or not. It’s just really important to be open and willing to change/grow as people.
If you could have one superpower, what would it be and what would you use it for?
- I think I would want to be able to read people’s minds. Not for the bad reasons. Sometimes we judge people when we don’t know what’s really going on. If you actually know what they’re going through/what they’re thinking you have a better understanding of how to act accordingly with them.
One food for the rest of your life, what would it be?
- Cheese. I love cheese. Actually. this morning I ate three slices of swiss cheese for no reason. I can’t live without cheese.
What activities make you lose track of time?
- Running. When I’m running, I kind of blank out and just go for it. Sometimes I don’t even realize how long I’ve run. I don’t look at the watch or anything. I just go for it.
What is something you work on in your free time?
- I actually have a journal in my phone. I’ve had it for like 6 years now in my free time, I like to just write down any thoughts that I have. Whether they’re personal thoughts or ideas that I have/things I want to do, I use that.
