Personal History Questions
1.What was the last movie, TV show or book that made you cry or tear up? I read Journey to the Heart every night before bed as it provides a daily meditation. It gets me focused and helps me grow. Whenever I learn something new about myself I tend to get emotional!
2.What’s the hardest thing you’ve ever done? Leave a corporate job that was secure and that I actually enjoyed because it provided a creative outlet in order to pursue a career in fitness which allows me to help people get better on a daily basis. It was well worth it!

4.What did you do growing up that got you into trouble? I was really not a trouble maker. I played by the rules!

6.What’s the best/worst gift you’ve ever given/received? The best gift to me is an experience , something that allows for you to have a memory that lasts longer than a tangible item. My parents surprised me at work this past Saturday, and I have to say that was a nice gift!! I don't think that any gifts are necessarily bad. All gifts have thought behind them and I think someone putting effort into you is special , no matter what the "gift" may be.
7.What do you miss most about being a kid? I miss not having to worry about anything. Now, I feel like I worry about everything, but that is the beauty of growth.
8.What is your first memory of being really excited? Going to Disney world!

10.When was the last time you were nervous? I feel like I'm always nervous about something. I'm a complete over thinker!
11.What is something you learned in the last week? I am learning new things everyday. The most important to me is to put my thoughts into action. I have a lot of ideas , but have trouble following through with them. ( special thanks to Angela for helping and pushing me).
12.At what age did you become an adult? I think a couple of years ago, but I can say I am now discovering the best version of me. It takes a lot of experiences to get to know yourself and to grow.
Thank you for taking the time to read this!! It was actually fun filling this out because it made me take the time to think about me. I'd totally recommend doing one for you (and of course sharing it with us)!
Cheers!
