My parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles. My Roman Catholic faith. And role models like Pope John Paul II and Mother Teresa. -
What type of Parenting style were you raised by?

What is your opinion of your generation? Younger? Older?
There are many good, hardworking and moral people in my generation, but there were also those who opened the way for liberalism that has resulted in too much permissiveness in our society today.
The younger generation is reaping the negative effects of this permissiveness and taking it to a greater degree because the moral compass they have been given is flawed. However it must be said that, like my generation, there are many good, hardworking and moral members of the younger generation in whom -
What are your thoughts on the American education system?
If it wasn't broken, then don't fix it. We made it to the moon without the aid of modern computers. We used brains, slide rules, ingenuity and hardwork. I don't see this emphasized in education today. -
What are you opinions on the government?
Our US Constitution is an amazing document and it has held us together in a society with many rights and freedoms. Unfortunately, our politicans do not cooperate and work together as well as they did in my generation and previous generations. -
What is your view on dating and marriage?
Dating is a natural way for boys and girls to get to know and respect each other. I believe premarital sex and living together before marriage is wrong. Hopefully marriages between man and woman will be permanent for the stability of the family and society. If families cannot stand together, neither can a nation hope to endure. -

How do you see yourself (physically and personality wise)?
I try to keep myself in good physical and spiritual condition (there is a connection) by prayer and exercise (especially running) and by trying to develop a genuine, humble, and caring personality. -
How do you view death?
Death is a natural and inevitable consequence of life, so we should have a good moral life with a strong faith in God, and a willingness to help others so that we will be ready for it and go on to our eternal reward in heaven. -

Miss Leitch -

Youngest of 3. I have gotten away with more and am somewhat babied. For example, my mom packed my lunch the first day of working at BEA... -

Myself. -

Authoritative -
What are your thoughts on the American education systems and the system of higher learning?
There is promise for our education systems, but I feel they are going through a bad time. I feel there are cycles and right know, those in charge are not the wisest. Also, standardized tests are focused on far too much. We should teach to instill knowledge, not teach to pass a test. -
What is your opinion of your generation? The generation younger? The generation older?
Mine - self-centered
Younger - even more self-centered, morally corrupt/absent/radical
Older - too traditional
So basically my generation is the perfect median. -
What is your opinion of the government?
The government is wandering from the fundamental principles set down by our forefathers. Modernization is threatening/questioning Constitutional rights. The prison system is far too cushy. Nursing homes are more like prisons than prison. -
What is your view on dating and marriage?
People marry too quickly today and for the wrong reasons. It is becasue of this that marriages do not even last long. People don't respect marriage enough to work at it and give up too easily. Goes back to a generational culture of bad work ethics. Marriage is sacred union under God, it is becoming less valued/respected. -
How are you viewed by your peers?
As a hard-working, driven and enerjetic person. Moods are somewhat extreme but I am rarely in a really bad mood. When I am not in the best mood, I tend to shut down so I don't get snappy with others. But most of the time I am my regular bubbly self... I'm also a bit of a cripple at the moment. -
How do you wish you were viewed?
I'm comfortable with how others' see me. I'm not perfect but I am who I am and for the most part I think I am true to myself. What people see is what is really there. I think I have grown out of being different based on who I am with. Now I am who I am no matter where I am or who I am with. -
What is one thing you want to accomplish in life?
Make a positive difference. In the classroom, in the community, in our nation, in the world as a whole. -
How do you see yourself (physically and personality wise)?
Other than crippled... enerjetic, and active sum it up nicely. -
How do you view death?
Only thing certain in life is death. I feel we should do as much as possible with the time we are given. Make the most of what have and when the time comes, be at peace knowing you lived a fulfilling life. -

What are your thoughts on the American education system and system of higher learning?
College is too much like a business. Schools are focused too much on testing and not enough on actually educating the students. Common sense = harder to come by. -
What it your opinion of the government?
Government is like nature. It needs a forest fire every now and then. -
