Hola. This is my first blog of the semester for my English Composition 1 class. I will be filling out The Proust Questionnaire. It was written by a dude named Marcel Proust, who is a french guy from Paris that wrote during World War 1. He also has a really sweet mustache.
1. What is your idea of perfect happiness? My idea of perfect happiness is when those you care about are doing well in life and your life is in order. For me seeing family and myself in a good place brings a lot of happiness and it’s one of the things I strive for in life. 2. What is your greatest fear? My greatest fear is heights. Mentally I’m not afraid of heights but my body is for some reason, It causes my legs to lose a bit of feeling by itself. 3. What is the trait you most deplore in yourself? I definitely deplore my laziness trait. It gets incredibly frustrating to deal with when I want to get things done. Sometimes I need to rush to do things because my laziness kept putting it to the side. 4. What is the trait you most deplore in others? Selfishness would be the trait I most deplore in others. People don’t think about how their actions affect others. I think we live in a world that is going through a difficult time and selfish people aren’t making it a better place. 5. Which living person do you most admire? My father for sure, He’s taught me everything I know in life. He’s always been able to stay strong during difficult times in our lives. He also takes care of my family and I like to think that I’m a good person because of him. 6. What is your greatest extravagance? Oh that's easy, it’s video games without a doubt. It’s my favorite hobby and I don’t have a problem spending money on things I enjoy. It’s fun to get new video games and play them with your friends. Although if someone did the math to see how much money I spent on video games the number would probably make me regret it. 7. What is your current state of mind? Well my current state of mind is not good right now, I just saw my 76ers lose to the Raptors. So I would describe my current state as depressed because of the tourture I just put myself through watching this team. 8. What do you consider the most overrated virtue? I feel like loyalty may be the most overrated virtue to me. People these days are super loyal and sometimes they seem like fools because of it. A lot of times people are loyal to the wrong ones and end up being dragged into others messes. It worse when the person or people you are loyal to don’t give you that same energy. I’m not saying loyalty is a bad thing just saying people need to evaluate the one they are loyal to. 9. On what occasion do you lie? I don’t lie often, it makes me feel really bad when I do. I only lie on things that involve me and when I know it doesn’t really affect anyone else. 10. What do you most dislike about your appearance? I think I’m good the way look. I don’t really think about those things too much it’s not that important to me. 11. Which living person do you most despise? It’s without question Jake Paul. He’s an idiot that made terrible music and does the most annoying things you can think of. Also has all the qualities of a garbage human being. I could go on about his stupidity but that would bring out words that aren’t family friendly. 12. What is the quality you most like in a man? Honesty for sure, me and my friends are very honest with each other no matter what even if it's things that we don’t want to necessarily want to hear. 13. What is the quality you most like in a woman? I guess intelligence would be the one. I believe a woman who’s smart is focused and is very determined in the things they want out of life. 14. Which words or phrases do you most overuse? It has to be “I forgot". It gets me in trouble with my parents because I overuse it when I don't do the things I'm supposed to do, but at least I'm being honest when I say it ... sometimes. 15. What or who is the greatest love of your life? My mother no doubt, she’s my rock and the one I turn to when I’m stuck in this crazy roller coaster called life. I don’t know where I’d be if she wasn’t there to teach me right from wrong and shield from the wrong people durig my younger years. 16. When and where were you happiest? This past summer at a camping resort. My whole family was there and it was a beautiful experience seeing and feeling the fun we all have with each other. I hope to do it again this summer maybe at a different place. 17. Which talent would you most like to have? I would like to be a good basketball player just because the money you get in the NBA is ridiculous. The league is handing out a minimum of 1 millions dollars per year just to ride the bench, I could definitely do that. 18. If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be? Maybe if I could be a little taller I would be a little happier. I mean I’m fine with my height, but hey if I went to sleep at 5’9 and woke up 6’0 I ain’t gonna complain. 19. What do you consider your greatest achievement? I would say graduating high school is my greatest achievement. My parents never graduated high school so to do that meant a lot to me especially with them being there. Seeing their tears of joy is something I’m proud of and it motivates me to do better in life. 20. If you were to die and come back as a person or a thing, what would it be? I would come back as a husky with a good owner. I don’t mind looking cool and not having a care in the world. No bills, no priorities, a nice bed, and I get to chase the mailman that doesn't sound too bad. 21. Where would you most like to live? Japan, it would offer a different experience than living in the states. See a different culture, language, and people would be fun. Once I get past the language barrier I’ll be fine. Plus you can play Mario Kart in Tokyo! 22. What is your most treasured possession? I don’t really have a most treasured possession. Most things I have is replaceable to me, but if I had to choose I would say my phone just because I use it everyday to keep up with my friends and family. 23. What do you regard as the lowest depth of misery? To me the lowest depth of misery is when you feel like your life holds no value in this world. 24. What is your favorite occupation? Maybe an astronaut, it’s not something I grew up loving but I just think there is a lot of mysteries surrounding space and I've always thought that working on spaceships and dealing with gravity was pretty cool. 25. What is your most marked characteristic? My sarcasm has to be it. My family has trouble sometimes figuring out whether I’m being sarcastic or not. Which can be a pain at times, but I find it hilarious when they just look at me confused. 26. What do you most value in your friends? LIke I said before, I value my friends honesty. It goes a long way and really shows how much I can trust a friend of mine. We feel more like family because we don’t sugarcoat anything and are always looking out for each other. 27. Who are your favorite writers? I can’t answer this one because I don’t really like to read, but I hope I’ll have an answer to this question by the end of the semester. 28. Who is your hero of fiction? Batman, due to him being able to survive and thrive in an environment where most heros and villians have superpowers. 29. Which historical figure do you most identify with? Roberto Clemente is the one I identify with the most. Not only due to him being Puerto Rican like myself, but I feel that if I was put into his position I would also use my money and fame to help others especially mi isla.

I appreciate the frank nature of these responses. A Clemente fan, huh? Throwback player. My family and I walk across the Clemente bridge each summer to watch a Pirates game.
