1. The subject I most enjoy reading about is historical non-fiction/fiction books because I love History.

2. My favorite hobby or pastime is watching T.V. because I like to know what is happening in our media. Specifically with media, I like to watch celebrity news/gossip such as E News or Insider.

3. If I won the lottery, I would use the money to buy all of the things that  I wish I had such as a car and cloths that were really expensive for me to have. I would buy my own mansion and travel to many different countries.  I would also give some money to my family.

4. The type of volunteer activity I prefer doing is giving presents to kids on Christmas in hospitals.

5. My favorite school subject has always been History because I love learning about things that have happened in the past. I find it interesting to know things about the past.

6. If I ran the world, the first thing that I would change would be to allow all people to go to a museum for free.

7. What I consider interesting is that History repeats itself.
