If you became invisible for 10 minutes RIGHT NOW, what things would you do?

If I became invisible for 10 minutes RIGHT NOW I would spend 2 minutes opening and closing a door, 1 minute pressing all the buttons on an elevator, 3 minutes following people into restricted areas, and 4 minutes taste testing all the ice cream flavors in Baskin Robins

What would be your ideal way to spend the weekend?

The ideal way to spend my weekend would be spending it at a bookstore or library with a cafe nearby. Lots of coffee and lots of books (dark fantasy especially) and maybe a cat or two! I don’t think we have nearly enough cat cafes around here. And sleep. Lots of it.

If you could only eat one food for the rest of your life, what would it be? Why?

That’s a hard question to answer, but it would probably be pizza. I feel like there’s so many different versions it would take a while to get bored of it. And honestly, you could put anything on pizza, the options are endless!

If all jobs had the same pay and hours, what job would you like to have?

I would love to work in a history museum! I’ve always liked them and I don’t think there are nearly enough out there. What’s more cool than seeing a piece of the past?

What motivates you to wake up early to volunteer for a Charity Run?

Their all great experiences and it’s nice knowing that I’m helping someone, especially when it’s for charity, and the workers and runners are always so nice! It’s a nice change of pace from my normal weekends. Volunteering also gives me a good look into skills definitely useful in the future like communicating with different personalities and working with different people. It’s also great to be able to see my friends who might also be at the same run. It’s just makes the day that much more fun.

How has your experience been working with HIM?

HIM has been a wonderful chance for me to explore so many more things in life and even though I hate waking up early, everytime someone smiles or says thank you it makes it all worth it. I like knowing that I’m helping someone, even if it’s just a little bit, and meeting all these new people everytime and seeing people again is so much fun! HIM is definitely what makes something that should seem like a chore be enjoyable.

How has HIM affected your life so far?

Heart in Motion really broadened my horizons when it comes to different people, and doing a different job everytime has taught me how to adapt and talk to all types of people
