The questions I struggled with most was to choose a specific person in my life, as a hero, or a significant, person, or a favorite writer. I struggled with this because I don't have enough just one person that has impacted my life, every person has impacted my life in a big way.

The one question I know will change in 5 years, is my greatest achievement. I say this because my life has been centered around judo since I was 5. When I graduate and have the opportunity to do great things and explore the world, that will surely change, and hey it might be in judo it may not be, we will never know.

The questions I could answer easily were the questions that pertained to a quality of a person. I think it was easy for me to answer because I had the opportunity to meet a wide range of diverse people around the world and I have formed many close relationships with those people. I got a good idea of the certain personalities of people that I like.

Question number 18, . If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be? - to be more honest with myself, acceptance. I want to elaborate on this question because this has been a big topic in my life especially in the last year or so. I lost in a competition that was a life to death to me. It also was the year where I was finding myself, all that was underneath the judo and wrestling and other sports. I had to find my identity, I was struggling and with that I made some very poor decisions which lead to losing very good people in my life. I was lying to myself and denied who I was.
