If I became invisible right now I would sneak into a fancy five star restaurant and taste test all of the food. Most of the five star restaurants are over priced and I always wanted to see how good the food actually was.
My ideal weekend would be running across the Golden Gate Bridge, enjoying the breeze of the ocean and watching the sunset. I would like this to happen some day but I despise running long distances and I am always unproductive sleeping past noon during the weekends.
If I could only eat one food for the rest of my life it would be dumplings. There are all types of dumplings wontons, potstickers, soup dumplings, you name it! Dumplings are filling and I can never get tired of them.
The most valuable lesson I've learned is becoming independent and not relying on others all the time. If you depend on others all the time its seems like they are controlling your life and one day they won't be there for you,so you have to figure things by yourself. Being independent means that you have responsibilities and making decisions on your own, knowing the differences between what right and wrong is.
If all jobs had the same pay and hours, I would want to become a pastry chef. I have always loved to make desserts and it would be nice to cook for other people, since I don't do that very often. Desserts always make people happy so I would love to see people enjoying the food I make
What motivates me to wake up early for Charity Runs is that I get to contribute toward a good cause with a small action of mine. Along with contributing I get to experience learning new things.
I looked forward to the Hot Chocolate Run event, I was very impressed they were able to handle hundreds of volunteers and how organized all the stations were. It was a fun experience making the mugs and drowning in the smell of chocolate.
Working with HIM has been a wonderful experience, there is a welcoming, supporting and friendly community that is very easy to talk to. HIM has also given me the opportunity of meeting new people that are around my age and even adults.
