  2. Describe a person who has been a positive role model in your life? My father, who taught me all about life,m about being yourself, about right and wrong..

    Describe a person who was a naughty influence on your life? Marcella; oh, the troubles we'd get ourselves into, without ever once getting arrested!

    Describe a person who was always fun? Carlos; because, unlike me, he is ALWAYS in a fabulous mood and up for anything!

    Who was the Debbie Downer in your life? I don't know. I think if there was one,I slyly moved away from that relationship.

    Who are you influencing and how? I think maybe a lot of people because I have an opinion and a voice and use both regularly.
