How would you describe the family you grew up with?
Somewhat unusual, though I was raised well. My parents highly valued freedom and liberty, and I was often allowed to play unsupervised around the neighborhood, even from a very young age. I additionally spent a large portion of my childhood on my own in my room, though it was mostly due to my introverted personality. Did you have your own room as a child? Yes. Did you grow up in a house, flat, or someplace else? A two story house, though we eventually moved out once I was in high school. Do you know what time you were born? Approximately 8:00 AM. As a child, what was your favorite: Toy: PlayStation 2. Food: Macaroni and cheese, though I am not overly fond of it anymore. Television show: Spongebob when I was very little, and when I was a bit older, I enjoyed numerous anime. Drink: My parents only kept water and milk in the house, so I enjoyed most drinks which were not of those two. Memories: Shooting rifles and playing Capture the Flag at a camp that I visited frequently. Did you have a best friend? Yes, two. Do you know if you were a good baby? Somewhat. Did you have a favorite song as a child? Greensleeves. Favorite subject at school? It changed a fair amount. Did you have a favorite teacher? Plenty. Were you good at school? Yes. One subject you could not stand? When I was very little, reading, since I struggled to read at first. Later on, it was biology (and still is, even to college). |
