1. As a young girl I dreamed of... (we still want to know, Mary)

2. I aspire to... continue to be a role model for women and young girls. I aspire to be a all-round warm-hearted, forgiving and healthy woman.

3. Things that make me happy are... being with my family, warm summer nights on the beach, catching a long right hander in warm clear water, sleeping in with nothing to do in the morning but enjoy life.

4. My Dad is... one of the most inspiring and motivating people I have ever met. He is my hero, my life, and I long to find someone as kind as he is.

5. My Mom is... one beautiful, strong-souled, inspiring lady. She has raised four healthy children and is there for us any time we need her. I long to be as strong and independent as she is. My mom is me x10 with her energy.

6. Family is... the life of the party wherever they go.

7. People I admire are... the ones who take the time to give back to those who need it. It's important to care for others. I admire people who are good at forgiving because I am horrible at it and need to work on it ; )

8. The sea is... a place where I go to get away, have fun and be healthy. It is a place where I have created my path in life and always will be. The sea has allowed me to form friendships that will last a lifetime. It is a place that has changed my life.

9. Water to me is... spiritual, cleansing and healthy.

10. Life is a challenge that we ride like a wave. It can be fast, slow, memorable, ever-changing, frustrating, and exciting all at once. Enjoy life! If you are unhappy make the changes that lead you to eternal happiness. One should smile or laugh at least once a day!
