Imagine that you are a tourist from a distant country visiting the U.S. for the first time. Think about your community/neighborhood from the point of view of that tourist. What pictures would you take and what stories would you tell when you got back home?I would take pictures of the water tower, parks, the beach, and the movie theater. I would the people back home that the community was a decent-looking place. It's not much to look at and it gets dull after a while. But it is nice to drive around in at night.

What are the advantages and disadvantages to modern city living? Do you think you would prefer city living or country living? Why?Advantages: More jobs, easier to socialize with people, more opportunities, more activities, and much easier to live in.
Disadvantages: Pollution, crime, difficulties, and more rejection
I think I would like in the city. I like country living but after a while of peace and quiet, I would go mad. If I lived in the city, I would always have something to do and never get bored.

What role, do you think, does chance or luck play in the achievement of happiness? (Are we in control of our happiness?)Luck plays in the conditions in a situation a person goes through. It's a small role in the achievement of happiness. We are in control of happiness, we just have to work real hard in order to achieve it.

Which three conditions or qualities do you think are most important for a good marriage?
Love: Every marriage needs love. Otherwise, what's the point of getting married?
Trust: Trust is real important in any relationship. It is like water to a rose.
Passion: Really important. Without passion, the marriage becomes dull and drowsy.

What are some ways in which a person's future can be limited by his/her past? Do you have a personal experience?Someone with a criminal record from the past may find it hard to get a job in the future. A history of diseases can pervert a person from living their life. Bad experiences from the past can scare people into not trying again in life. I don't have any personal experience for a bad past keeping me from living my life.

Think of a type of music that has an especially strong effect on you. Why so?Any music has a strong effect on me. All it has to do is listen to a song and get an idea for writing for it. My mind is like a sponge, whatever I see, hear, and experience gives me an idea. That is what almost an genre of music does for me and the things I write. It's almost too perfect for anyone.

What factors have influenced your of friends at school? How do you choose your friends?My friends and I have an interest in anime. I choose people who like anime to talk to. My friends seem to find me instead of me finding them. I can get respect from many people but few quickly became my friend at the start. So I safe-guard myself very well to keep from getting my heart hurt from disappointment.
