So I was rooting around old school records, and I came across this little assignment. If memory serves me correctly, I filled this questionnaire out during the first few days of 6th grade. It gave me a few chuckles, so maybe you’ll get a kick out of it, too. Here it is, complete with original spelling/gramatical errors and snarky comments.

1. When I grow up, I want most to be an artist
   Haha!
2. The hardest thing to do in the world is count the stars
   Hmm that’s strangely… philosophical.
3. If I could have three wishes, I would wish for 1. World Peace 2. have a whole lot of money 3. to have good friend(s) (like Meagan)
   No wonder I couldn’t become an artist. I have no imagination. I like how I was willing to concede to having just ONE good friend. Now, I remember dear Meagan, and she was indeed a good friend. I wonder what she’s been up to?
4. If I could change my first name, my new name would be Angelica
   I think I had this “angel” obsession phase going on.
5. If I could live anywhere in the world, I would live in Cannada [sic]
   I went to Canada the summer a few weeks before I wrote this. Apparently it made a good impression on me. o.O What on earth was I thinking?!
6. The funniest dream I ever had was about jumping of Hover Dam [sic]
   I don’t see anything funny about this. I wonder if my teacher worried about me after she read this.
7. If I had a million dollars, I would shop ’til I drop
   Lame.
8. The best thing about middle school will be having a choice of lunch
   This really was the best part about middle school.
9. Most people do not know that I like to rollerblade and play the piano
10. My dream house will be a large 100 bedroom mansion with maids
    And to think I keep telling Long I want a smaller, cozy house
11. The most important thing in life is to achive your goal [sic]
    Ambitious! I think all those motivational posters worked on me.
12. If I were President of the United States, I would lower the taxes
    Haha!
13. If I could write a book, it would be about school life from a kids point of view
    See, if I had just done what I wanted to do, I would be the one banking off the Wimpy Kid series.
14. The best thing about elementary school is I learned to read here
    Too true. That and playing CandyLand in ESL.
15. If I could change anything in the world, I would change the vilonce level everywhere [sic]
    I guess I really did want peace.
16. If I could invent some new technology, it would be shoes that can fly
    No, thanks. We have enough obese people as it is.
17. If you looked in my backpack, you might find the most unusual book
    Such a wild child!
18. If I could travel back in time, I would go to 4 BC (year) because I would like to see when Jesus was born
    Cute. Although the linguist in me really really really would love to see what happened at the Tower of Babel.
19. If I could travel in time to the future, I would go to the year 2050 and see the new technology
    Nerd.
20. My favorite here is my mom because she made me what I am today
    <3 mama Hong
21. If I could build anything, I would build my own house because I don’t like sharing rooms
22. If I could change the desks in classrooms, I would put a labtop computer for every desk [sic]
    I saw it when I went to 2050 and thought it was SO cool.
23. The person that I most admire (other than my family members) is my teacher because she is so patient
24. If I could be a volunteer, I would help animals
25. One of my greatest accomplishments has been to make it through 5th grade
    Okay, before you laugh, let me tell you I had a really tough 5th grade teacher whose namesake was an evil teacher in a popular children’s fiction series. At the tender age of 11, I really thought I wasn’t going to make it out alive.
26. The best thing about college will be no parents!
27. I can hardly wait until I turn sixteen because I will be taller
    Ironically, I don’t think I have grown an inch since I was 16.
28. One of the most unusual things about me is I’m so short
    I know this isn’t unusual, but I was the only Asian kid in my grade, okay?
