First up was Rebecca!
Q – How to you imagine your death?
A – I want to live briefly and brightly. I want to live a
passionate, exciting life that inspires others, and leaves its mark on our
planet forever. But I want to die as I am winding down, not exactly in the
middle of glory, but on the downward arc. I want to be remembered, I do not
want to be just another meaningless life. I want to die while listening to
music, alone under the stars at night. I shall not be buried.
Q – What do you regret?
A – I regret a lot of things, not I don’t want to talk about
them today. If we spend all our lives thinking about what we should have done,
we will never do anything, or be anyone in life. I want to look forward, not
dwell on the past.
Q - If you
could take away either hate or war from the world, what would it be?
A – A lot of people might say hate, because hate is bad, and
starts the wars which cause hunger, but I disagree. Often, it is fear and ignorance
that starts wars, not hatred. It is hatred that grows from war, as hunger and
poverty does. It would be wrong to end hatred, because it is one of the things
that drives people, and makes them passionate, makes them do things. And a lot
of times, hatred spawns goodness. Hunger is something that can be controlled,
really, something we can really do without, and we need hatred. We can’t always
control hunger and poverty, but we can learn to control our hatred. We can
learn not to use it for bad. Hunger, however, causes so much problems in the
world.
Q - What have
you learned from life? What do you want to learn?
A – I have learned that nothing turns out the way you
expected – and you have to live with that. It’s a fact of life, and nothing we
do can change it. We have to muddle along and try and make the best out of what
we’ve got, no matter what. Everybody has problems, and everybody deals with
shit in their lives. But that’s not who we are. Not unless we make ourselves
so.
Samantha
Q – What was the happiest moment of your life?
A – When I first found out I had gotten into Sutton, I was ecstatic. It was all I ever wanted.
Q – Are you ambitious?
A – Yes, I am, and I see no harm in that unless it gives harm to others. I want to go somewhere in this world, and I want to work hard to get there!
Q – What is your biggest fear?
A – My biggest fear is fire. I am deathly afraid of burning to death on my bed!
Q – What trait to you like in yourself? In others?
A – In myself, I like that I’m a pretty dependable person. I try to be there for my friends. In others, I like honesty. I hate being lied to!
Q - How would you like to be remembered?
A – I want to be remembered as somebody who liked to live,
as somebody who took pleasure from life and thrived on excitement and love. I
want to be remembered as somebody special, but not fantastic, somebody ordinary
who made her life count.
Q – How do you imagine death?
A – I imagine death as nothing – simply nothing; like
falling asleep. No heaven, no anything like that. I don’t believe in god. But,
like all matter is the same matter that was here from the start, we are
‘recycled;’ we are reborn, in a way. Not as ourselves, but as somebody else. In
us right now, we have a million lives.
Q – What trait
to you like in yourself? In others?
A – In myself, I like that I am optimistic. I like being
able to find the good in a situation, and see the laughter in something
embarrassing. In others, I like friendliness; because i love making friends. I
like people who are open to others; I have no patience for the people that back
away; when you step forward, you get the light!
Q –If your friend stole something and you were there; what
would you do?
A – I pride myself on being a loyal friend. I wouldn’t tell
on her right then; in the store, but when we got out of the store; I’d tell her
that I knew what she had done, and that it was wrong. I’d tell her that she had
to stop, or else I would tell, because she could get in trouble.
