What's your biggest fear?

Being stuck on a deserted desert with no water to sail on. At least on a deserted island there's plenty of water.

What is your most embarrassing moment?

One event that comes to mind is when I was around 12 years old. My brother, a friend, and I went to the local pool to go swimming on a hot summer day. We decided to go diving off the 12 foot high board. The other two went down feet first, but I decided to go head first. When doing so, I left my arms open a little bit and really hurt my head (don't try it if you're not experienced). But, the embarassing part was that my shorts didn't stay on through the impact of the water. Because my head hurt so bad, I didn't notice until I was about to get out of the pool. I caught myself just in time, but was pretty embarassed to say the least.

If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be? Why?

Somewhere exotic near water, like Hawaii, Thailand, Singapore, maybe even Costa Rica. I like the laidback style of living and warm weather, but I also need water around in order to go sailing.

What is the craziest moment you've seen during Upward Bound this year?

Nothing I would really define as crazy, unless you consider 15 or so students staying in during parts of lunch to get extra help.

What sea animal would you want to be?

If anything, a dolphin. They're smart, fast, and friendly.
