If school had been cancelled for the day, I would love to go with my friends to Disneyland! It is such a great place to forget about all about the burdens of school and sports; plus, it is only a half hour away.
I think it would be interesting to be an in elevator with Albert Einstein because I would like to discuss various topics with him and learn more about all the contributions he made.
It would be really fun to fix up and sell old classic cars.
A great part-time job would be to work at a bookstore. I love to read and give people my recommendations of my favorite books.
I would be with Bill O'Reilly, Steven Colbert, and President Obama. I know it sounds like a crazy mix of people but I love politics and debating, and I think it would make for a quite interesting yet humorous afternoon.
The best advice I could give is to not procrastinate; the earlier you complete assignments and study for tests the better off you are. I also recommend getting involved by joining sports, clubs, or student government.
"Don't spend all your money at one place." It is not that I would actually spend everything at one place, but from it I have learned the importance of saving money for better purposes in the future.
I would definitely need my laptop. It is such an essential tool for my classes and in my role as secretary on class council.

My perfect meal is at Thanksgiving when family brings turkey, ham, mashed potatoes, twice-baked potatoes, yams, fresh bread, casseroles, salad, and many great appetizers. I love to snack on crackers or eat avocados.
I'm trying to save up for college; it is so expensive yet worth every penny.
The worst mistake people make is getting into debt. In my opinion, the only good debt is for schooling or mortgages.

Ronald Reagan. I admire him for his perseverance and brilliance with the most difficult occupation in the world.
My role model is my father. He is always there for me and pushes me to reach any goal I have. He is such an incredible example for me and an inspiration in my life.
