The focus of my blog post is to use The Proust Questionnaire to give people some insight and ideas about me, what I like, my perspective and my ambitions. I'm using the cite and assignment only as a way to bridge the gap between me and the classmates considering it gives the questions and I get to answer them. I also intend on describing and answering each question to the best of my ability, and keeping in mind that this is an assignment in our english class of Composition I.
Q&A __1.__What is your idea of perfect happiness? Inner peace, goals met. __2.__What is your greatest fear? I tend to get stage fright in certain situations, not chronically like many, but if I don't feel comfortable in a class or around a group of people, I might choke a bit. __3.__What is the trait you most deplore in yourself? -My relaxed attitude gets too relaxed, to the point I will let my self get so derailed and off track. I will be doing an assignment last minute or even after its due, all because my gut is like "everything will be ok". I think it's good not to stress yourself out over grades to the point all you really care about is getting an A, but I think I just need to push myself more. __4.__What is the trait you most deplore in others?-Ignorance. I think we all as human being tend to think we know everything, or, in other words, since we do things a certain way, we find it odd or strange if anyone believes in something different. In other words, when our values are challenged, people tend to get defensive, when in reality I believe life is about different perspectives. __5.__Which living person do you most admire? -I admire Steven Spielberg the most, because as one of the most celebrated movie directors of all time, I admire him and his filmmaking so much, especially considering I am an aspiring director/screenwriter. he really revolutionized movies in his day and had a impact on why the movie industry is the way it is today, and I think thats something to aspire to. __6.__What is your greatest extravagance? __7.__What is your current state of mind?-I am Very easy going, always been more relaxed, or you can say more of a optimistic sort of person __8.__What do you consider the most overrated virtue?-Money (Hard work brings success) __9.__On what occasion do you lie- I lie on occasions when I feel maybe its not that big of a deal, like a white lie. __10.__What do you most dislike about your appearance?-The only thing I dislike is my height. But I am generally not as concerned with my appearance as I am. I know everything can be worked on (with taking care of your self etc) and my height isn’t that big of a deal haha __11.__Which living person do you most despise? - I don’t really despise anyone. There are times when i get angry at someone, or maybe a group of people really, but despising only brings misery. But maybe I can’t remember the person I hate haha. __12.__What is the quality you most like in a man? -I would say their leadership roles. There are men who abuse their power, but there are men who stick up for those who can’t. Its them who I think are pretty cool and show how important it is to give a voice to people who don’t have one __13.__What is the quality you most like in a woman? -The emotional intelligence is so vital and we as women tend to, in my opinion be more creative. I believe it's a misconception to think being emotional is a weakness or not a real strength. The ability to be in touch with how we feel allows us to protect people from themselves when they are low. When I say creative, example could be the music industry, its women who have for time after time been the leading icons because. They can captivate and catch an audiences attention, because emotions are what a women knows how to use better than anyone. It's a woman's forte. Women help society grow from love. __15.__What or who is the greatest love of your life? -My passion for movies and entertainment. I just love how happy they make people, and me. they effect people, and society greatly. __16.__When and where were you happiest? -I think childhood brings the happiest memories for everyone, but I cannot pinpoint a exact point where I was happiest, Happiness comes and goes like waves get big and small. It happens all the time, not at once, at least for me. But a happy time was freshmen year when I got a tight group of friends. __17.__Which talent would you most like to have? -I wish I was a better dancer. When I see stars like Michael Jackson or online clips of youtube dance group it amazes me how they move. I’m pretty bad at dancing because i think i think too much when i do it. I would like to learn how. __18.__If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be? I would be more organized if I could. If i was more organized, I could then be more identified with my goals, then I think I would be less lazy and more ambitious. _20._ If you were to die and come back as a person or a thing, what would it be? -Some type of sea create. Like a dolphin, or maybe a shark. I'm so fascinated by the ocean and how big it is.
