You’re writing your autobiography. What’s your opening sentence?
“I told everyone that this day would come. And lo and behold you’re holding the very book that I spoke into existence. Thank you God for allowing me to tell my story.”

Describe a phase in life that was difficult to say goodbye to
Graduating from 6th grade was kind of hard on me. That meant going into another school and I didn’t want to leave my friends that I mostly knew since the 1st grade. Of course, I was 11 (to turn 12) a but I didn’t understand a major life lesson. That is friends aren’t always forever. There are seasons for friendships and relationships; some will last longer than others and some will be shorter. Friends will come and go but the one that is certain is that God won’t leave you.
Do you enjoy your job?
My job is to create a structure of discipline and accountability during this period of uncertainty. It’s a process that’s never ending.
More to come when my autobiography comes out.
If you could be someone else for a day, who would you be, and why?
If I could be someone else for a day, I would be Gambit from X-Men. He was a superhero who could convert kinetic energy into those playing cards. Plus I was a fan of his Cajun accent, and his reckless and bombastic ways.
(I’m talking about him based on the X-Men animated series from the 90’s.)
If you could permanently ban a word from general usage, which one would it be? Why?
Hmmmm. I’ve heard several answers including some vulgarities. The rest is tbd.
What is the biggest challenge you will face in the next six months?
Achieving another of personal success. I’ll expand much more about this after the autobiography comes out.
Have you ever unintentionally broken the law?
Haha. You’re not going to get me on this one.
Who are your favorite people to be around?
My favorite people are those that I can learn from or those who encourage me to be better. Or it could be a combination of those two categories. The amount of knowledge that I can obtain by being around the right people is tremendous. I don’t say it to be selfish, but they help me to grow. I think it’s so I can use that same wisdom and knowledge to be a blessing to other people.
Share one of the best gifts you’ve ever received.
I remember when I was young I received a Nintendo Entertainment System for Christmas. That was my introduction to the world of personal video games. I was so happy and grateful for that gift. Even though it was my first Christmas in which my parents were separated, it showed me my parents still cared and loved me.
As I write I about that special moment, I am thankful to God that they did what they could to give me something.
What place in the world do you never want to visit? Why?
I would never want to visit a place where the street food is prepared unhygienically or a place that’s super cold without adequate places that have interior heating.
For number 1, if the culture accept that their food is prepared without care then the rest of their hygienic care standards are for the birds.
For number 2: I don’t like cold weather locales. However, if I have to visit such a location, I would hope that there would be places where I could regain body warmth.
