1. How do you spend your money?

I love to spend money. It is probably one of my favorite hobbies. Spending money can be fun and rewarding until you run out. I spend my money on food and clothes the most. I also love to buy shoes. I can sometimes be an impulse buyer and find myself buying unnecessary items. It often occurs when it comes to food, and I go grocery shopping on an empty stomach. My best friend and I go to the mall often and say we are only going to purchase one thing. However, we always come home with more than we anticipated.

2. What was the most painful thing you ever experienced?

I have not fully reached my peak in life yet, so this may not be the most painful thing I have endured. Up until today, the most painful thing I have ever gone through would be the end of my gymnastics career. I was a competitive gymnast from the age of 4 to 15. Losing that sport, my passion, left me heartbroken and in pain for a long time. I had suffered many injuries in the past, such as broken arm, concussions, and other minor short term injuries. It wasn’t until a competition in Pennsylvania, where I tore my ACL after a bad tumbling pass landing. My dream was to move forward with gymnastics and attend college on an athletic scholarship. Unfortunately, my injury was going to take more time to heal, which ultimately ended my time in the sport. I miss it every day, and I am always keeping up with the lastest competitors and my old teammates as well.
