Describe something you learned in high school.
I learned Latin and how a lot of the words in English have its origin in Latin. The first word I learned in class was the word for “farmer”: “agricola, agricolae, f. I immediately recognized that the word agriculture has to do with farming and cultivating the land.
Such an enlightening period in my life.
Describe one positive change you have made in your life.
I started waking up early and exercising. I will write more on this soon.
What makes you laugh?
Usually my friends make me laugh. They do by cracking a funny joke or it’s by something they have (implicitly) endorsed (e.g., through a comedic post sent via an Instagram DM).
How would you improve your community?
Simple. Tell them to get engaged in local civics by giving them the true history of this nation. Then I’d tell them vote.
This is very simple explanation, but I’ll expound further on this.
What are your morning rituals? What does the first hour of your day look like?
I’ve been playing with the morning ritual to optimize my time recently. This is the latest version of the routine, but these things are subject to change.
Whenever I wake up, I just say little prayer and say “Good morning” and give thanks to the Lord. I hit the bathroom right after to use it then do my daily weigh-in. Once done, I grab a liter of water and down it before start to do my Bible reading.
While reading, I’ll pray, meditate, and write in my journal. Whatever is on my mind I try to flush it out through the writing. Post-writing, I’ll hit the bathroom to flush out that liter of water that I had earlier. Finally I’m ready to hit the gym and get my workout on.
That’s a brief recap of my typical first hour. I don’t always follow this to a “T”. I do deviate a bit but I try to adhere to it so that I can get a good start to my day.
Which aspects do you think makes a person unique?
What makes a person unique? Obviously we can use physical qualities but let’s try to get a little bit deeper. I believe that a person’s philosophy (or worldview) and personality are what makes them unique. In other words: it’s what they think, the filter that they use to process the info from thinking, and the way they express how they think.
When you were five, what did you want to be when you grew up?
To be honest, I don’t remember much when I was five. I can give some vague details about that year in my life; however, not this fact. I remember being cognizant of my surroundings and letting it impact my memory at the age of six.
How has technology changed your job?
In my previous job I was working on a computer. It involved working a lot with the programs in Microsoft Office suite (e.g., Word, Excel, PowerPoint). However, 4 years ago, the “pandemic” happened so we were relegated from a in-office position to working from home. (I was one of the last ones to actually stop working in the office.)
It was great having a remote job because I didn’t have to worry about transportation into the office. It was a good experience. But all good things must come to an end. Now it’s onto the next best thing, wherever that might be.
What is one word that describes you?
I think faithful is a word that would describe me best. Being consistent and showing up encompasses that trait or quality. It also involves loyalty and honor. I’m not saying these things to toot my own horn.
I have many failings. However , I think showing up and volunteering is trait that I have. In other words I am faithful.
