1) What do you consider interesting?
Being the best I can be so that way I can always be independent.
The subject I most enjoy reading about is the Holocaust because of how Jews were being discriminated and how they were being treated towards society.
My favorite hobby or pastime is playing basketball so that way I can stay in shape and just focus on having fun.
If I won the lottery, I would use the money to buy everything I mostly desire
The type of volunteer activity I prefer is helping people because that way they don't have to make the same mistakes twice.
My favorite school subject has always been History so I can learn about the past.
If I ran the world, the first thing I would change would be is help those people who don't really have anything and show that I have a heart for people

Why do people have goals and expectations?
Well how are goals and expectations part of life? Does is it make become independent? These are very good questions which make me say yes because of how everyone wants to reach a certain goal which can either be in education, sports, or a pop artist.If you can goal you want to achieve then go for it no one is stopping you. You're the one who wants that dream then take a chance and give it everything you got. If you mess up it's not then end of the world just keep trying and learning from you're mistakes do that and next time you will be successful.
