I generally say my parents are my modern day superheroes. They both have done so much for me! They have also taught me that the true love in movies does not exist. Real love comes from commitment to one another, working together, and trust. Plus a lot of time!
That's nice! I don't know that I really have a modern-day superhero But there are definitely people I look up to. Like you, they're often the people around me, like my peers, teachers, and friends and family. I don't know if I look up to people, really, but I definitely look up to certain traits.
I agree with that. No one is perfect, but everyone has some trait we can admire and aspire to.
Very true. If you could develop one trait, what would it be? For me, I'd love to be more outgoing. I think it would help me both personally and professionally.
I would probably say meekness. Pride is a nasty trait that is easily developed. Have you read "quiet"? It is a book about the power of being introverted!
Yep! I hate to play the hipster card, but I read it soon after it came out I love being an introvert, but it's not always a strength, you know?
True. I am also an introvert and have had many times in my life where I have struggled because I am try8ng to hard to be extroverted. I am miserable in those moments! However,
I can understand that. However?
In the moments where I am myself, I am happier and more confident, helping me in the long run. I think it would help a lot of people if they realized that Being an introvert is not a bad thing
It's very true. I was very lucky to find friends out at school who accepted me for who I was Even if that meant being awkward and quiet in big groups! It made me way happier with who I was I actually just met a very good friend this school year. We found out we have the same Myers-Briggs type, except she's the extroverted version and I'm the introverted version! We found out that a pair of our friends had the same phenomena
I had the same thing happen to me with my friends.
Very cool So what do you like doing for fun?
i enjoy reading and playing sports. I also enjoy learning and studying about topics I am passionate about. What about you?
Very much the same! I read when I have time--which isn't often these days--I get outside for Ultimate Frisbee and Spikeball, love to find new hikes all over the state,  etc I'm really excited that it's almost summer. More time for adventures outside!
I love ultimate frisbee. We would do it on our light days during cross country season! I have not been able to get much into spike all, but it looks fun! What are your plans For the summer?
I'm working a lot to save up for next school year, but I'm going to Cali for a week and spending time with friends and family What about you?
My husband and I have internships in Moscow. We are also going to spend a week ni Korea visiting his little brother's mission.  My sister is also getting married this weekend.
That's a lot! Sounds like a blast. HAve to admit I'm a little jealous: I've never been out of the country
Yes, we have a lot going on, but we are excited. Our internship will also give us school credit. We both are majoring in Russian. If you could go anywhere in the world, where would ya u go?
Very cool! I would good to Europe. My fiance and I are planning a trip there for after I graduate
That is exciting? When are you getting married and when do you graduate?
I'm actually getting married at the end of the week (!!!) and I'll be done with my grad program in 2020
Wow! Congratulations! Where are you getting married and what grad program?
Colorado, and I'm at the law school. It's a challenge but I love it!
My sisters fiance is from Colorado! Wow. My dad went to law school and does not have super happy memories of it:) that is good you u enjoy it. What do you wish to do with a Degree in law?
Yeah, law school can be rough, but I've learned a lot of great things. I want to practice law, but I'm not sure what exactly yet. What are you planning to do with your Russian degree?
I am planning on eventually going in to politics, but in short term I want to become a marriage and family therapist and then recieve a PhD in social policy and human Development. I want to help families in the us and around the world, and I feel that if we help families become strong, our countries can become stronger.
Interesting! That's a very diverse group of interests, but noble What inspired you to do that?
Plus, it would be nice if Russia and the us could get along:) I am still working on the details, but that is the idea for now I served a mission in Russia and so I love the Russian people, but they are struggling. As I watch the news here in the United States, and r fleet about how blessed I am to Have a family that loves me, I realize that if we can strengthen the family, so many problems can be solved: Education, poverty, you name it! What inspired you to go into las? Law
Um, it actually wasn't my plan! I had a different path all lined up, but when I graduated last year it didn't feel right. So I sought out some other options and was blessed to be accepted to BYU Law last June And I know it's where I need to be with the people I need to be with. They're AMAZING
That is brave! I admire you,  as an introvert, for going into such an extroverted field and not knowing why!
Thanks! I'm hoping to do well, but I'm just seeing what the future holds, you know? I actually have to go work on some school stuff. It was nice to chat with you! Good luck with your internships and travel this summer!
