So my squad is doing this awesome survey to help us get ot know eachother a little bit better 🙂 I've never been so excited to do a survey before. Enjoy!
What was your favorite food when you were a child?

What’s the #1 most played song on your iPod?
well I'm not sure, but right now I'm listening to 'How great is our God' by Promise Keepers
What is one of your favorite quotes?
"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."
Timo Cruz- "Coach Carter"

What story does your family always tell about you?
My cousin always tells this story of me when I was in youth group. I was 13 and we had a youth group of mostly girls. Our youth leader had something come up all of a sudden and couldn't make it that night so he had his son,Gus, who recently graduated from college, fill in. He was hispanic and didn't speak english incredibly well. He gave a message about being fishers of men, which you can imagine may be a hard topic to speak to a bunch of 13 y/o girls about. Anyway, eventually he asked us "Have you ever gone fishing for men?" At which point, there was an awkward silence, and then I opened my mouth and said "Well I am highly offended by that question!" in the most snobbish way possible, reducing our group into a fit of giggles and an embarrased Gus. It was quite interesting.
At what age did you become an adult?
Probably I'd say 21.
